So I have been trying to install the Zazzle store builder and the Zstore helper into wordpress and I am confused about doing this. For the the Zstore helper to the WP-content/plugins how do I do this? When I try to install the plugin it says "The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.

Plugin install failed." for both the Zazzle store builder and the Zstore helper. How do I install this?

Did you merge the contents of the zazzle store builder files into the plugin first. Then re-zip it. Then do the upload?

Also, how are you uploading. Directly thru wordpress or using an FTP program?

If so then it could be the structure of the files you uploaded, if not then make sure and ck the official tutorial again at...

You use shortcodes to make the display after you have setup your admin settings.

Shortcodes is how wordpress displays built in content. They are actually the brackets like these... [ for open and ] for close.

Then you simply insert the shortcode from the included documentation.

The most basic shortcode is [ zstore ] without the spaces after and before the brackets.

For the shortcode how do I get it in a page? I made a page and I put the short code in the html and it didn't load as anything. Where am I suppose to put it?

Thanks again in Advance.

Dont use html format, use regular format in the large box for where you write your post.

I used to have some basic tutorials, but Z dont allow me to post them here no more.

It can not be used on a wordpress.com blog. It has to be on a wordpress blog on your own site, because you need to be able to upload the zstore and plugin files to it.

If its at the wordpress site, that would explain a lot of problems, however I had assumed since there was FTP capabilities used, then it was their own personal site.

There could be more than one reason to get the feed temporarily unavailable error.

If the keywords conflict or one of your codes is bad, that will happen.

If you go to your store page (or make a new test one), only add

[zstore]

to the visual option of that page and refresh to see what happens.

It looks like you have both the Elegant Zazzle Plugin AND the Zstore Helper plugin on your site. There might be a conflict between them.

Unless you're happy with the terms of the Elegant one, I'd delete that one. In the past, they charged about half of your referrals for using it, although they may have revised that since I checked.

If neither of those helps, see if you have the Google Analytics set to true and reset it to false. That's given me trouble in the past.
