    Hi Foamy,

    The tutorial is indeed up to date with the latest WPUF.

    As for what that error message is from and what it means — I have absolutely no idea. πŸ™‚ My best advice is to read through the tutorial again and check everything step by step to make sure it was all done properly.

    If we need to fix it for your site by logging in and getting it to work there would be a “non-WC Vendors Support $49 Fee” for fixing/customizing your site for you. Option is there if you need it.

    the error has been fixed, i can upload products from the front end user dashboard, and they show up in the woo commerce products area in the wp dashboard, and they show up on the website as a product,
    HOWEVER

    they do not show up in the main shop page – http://ilovestaffordshire.co.uk/shop/

    any ideas?

    ok i have all settings set up to auto publish products, however they do not show on the website until i press the update button in the products page

    once i do this then they show up as normal…

    so the front end form works, vendors all works, just does not auto publish to the website without me pressing update..

    Glad you got it all working. πŸ™‚

    For auto publishing, check your form. wp-admin / User Frontend / Edit the form / Post Settings — Does Post Status say “Published”? When it says Published, the products will be live as soon as the vendor completes the form.

    That’s the correct settings.

    Perhaps it’s time you ask the plugin authors for help? πŸ™‚ I mean, I dont want to be rude of course. But this is WC Vendors support, and you keep asking for help with WP User Front End Pro. We dont write that plugin. We need to focus on WC Vendors and OUR plugin, not another authors plugin. For $49, I’ll happily take part out of my day to help, but for free, you gotta ask the plugin authors for support. Go to their support forums and post up any questions related to their plugin. πŸ™‚ Whenever you have WC Vendors problems, we’re always here to help you fast and efficiently!

    Hi Foamymeda,
    Did you manage to solve this problem about auto publish with WooCommerce?
    I have the same problem and has not been able to figure out what to do to solve the issue.

    I asked the question to WPUF and did not receive a reply. In fact, the last 3 support tickets I’ve sent in questions on are still unresolved with them. πŸ™ Only 1 ticket I submitted got a reply, and it was 4 1/2 months later……..

    Oh, sounds like the WPUF support sucks. πŸ™‚

    I think I found a solution to my problem.

    Added a Hidden Field to the form.

    Meta Key = _visibility
    Value = visibile

    Maybe you should add that to the Front End tutorial.

    Another issue we found with adding products using WPUF is that you have to specify both _price and _regular_price metakeys for the product’s price to display on the frontend and backend.

    We rolled both of these into one function:

    Did any of you guys ever get this to work? I’m working on a new site that needs products published live rather than requiring approval and am running into the exact same issue as both of you. Since WC Vendors Pro isnt ready yet, I’m using WPUF temporarily.

    I’ve run through database comparisons of after the form is published and after I click “Update” and even tried to mimick the post meta this way but it seems to not want to make them live no matter what I try. Always have to click “Update”……

    Thanks!

    Aah! It was the _visibility = visible. I had a typo. πŸ™‚ Sorry to have bugged you two!

    Evening all – Saturday’s nearly over here in the UK!

    I’ve edited the gist I posted above. I found that the previous version will cause a sale price to not display on the frontend. The value of _price must equal either _regular_price or _sale_price. You can set _regular_price and _sale_price easily with your WPUF form but I added a ternary to the function to ensure that if _sale_price is not empty, _price will equal it. Or if it is, _price will equal _regular_price.

    Hello mcgregormedia,

    I am using WPUF because of subscription based product posting.
    The code above works OK for me, but I have now still two issues:
    1. To display the product which is on sale on the page with Woocommerce shortcode [sale_products per_page="12"] I have to manualy update any product in admin dashboard (I do not know why).
    2. The No. of items on stock is not displied in Product page if there is not at least one of the prices entered (_regular_price or _sale_price).
    I would appreciate for any help.

    Thanks
    Regards

    The reason you have to keep manually updating the product in the back end is because WPUF sucks. I’ve never found a fix for that problem and have had to abandon that plugin a number of times as a result. Their support basically says “Works fine here, you figure it out”. One of the reasons we developed WC Vendors Pro. πŸ™‚ We’ll have subscription based product support roughly in version 1.3.

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks for your answer. That’s great news about version 1.3. πŸ™‚
    Until then, I have to deal with this what I have.
    Hope the version 1.3. coming soon.

    Regards

    @ben – I’ve got WPUF working sweet at the moment. I’ve even rolled a forked and modified Per Product Shipping into it where it’s one cost for the first item and a different cost for each additional item rather than a flat cost for each item. (requires one line changed in WCV core though). I’d love to move to WCV Pro but I’ve got that much customisation in the install now it’s just not possible.


    @dfaldin
    – If you’re having to update a product in the dashboard for it to display on the frontend, you’re missing a meta_key somewhere.

    I believe your second point is the default for WC though.

    @mcgregormedia – It is interesting that I can update any product in the dashboard, not only the product to be entered and after that it is displayed on the sale_products page.
