Eshop plugin

I am currently testing the e-commerce plugin Eshop. It is very simple to install, uses Paypal and can handle digital downloads. So far I am satisfied with the plugin but will need to do more testing.

Here is a review that I found on Eshop:

WordPress 2.7.1

WordPress has added the ability to automatically upgrade with one click. I had been using the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin but that functionality has been built in now. This is a great addition. I am on a satellite connection and have slow and unreliable upload speeds.

When I tried to use the new automatic upgrade function, however, it would not complete. I did some searching and found the problem to be a conflict with the Automatic Upgrade plugin. Once that was deactived the upgrade function worked flawlessly.

WordPress 2.7

The newest version of WordPress is out – version 2.7. It is said to be much faster. The admin panel has been completely redone. I have only used it a couple of minutes but already like the look and feel of it.

If you don’t use the Automatic Upgrade plugin you are missing out. I just upgraded my installation and it only took a few minutes even though I am doing so over the internet connection on my phone. And no, it is not a 3G connection.

WordPress 2.6

WordPress is my platform of choice when designing websites and blog sites. This is a freeware/open source program that is continually being improved on. This makes keeping websites based on WordPress up-to-date a challenge. There is a plugin that solves this dilema.
