- Step one
- Create ‘Checkout’ & ‘Thank You’ Pages
- Set Up Dukapress
- DukaPress Settings
- Creating a Product
- Create a products Page
5. Create your First Product!
Now the fun begins, eh? To create a product you need to find the Products section on DukaPress. As such:
Add new product (click for larger)
You will then go to a screen where you can input your product details. You need to enter at least the Product name, Product Details and Price. You should input them as such:
Add product details (click for larger)
Next, you need to add an image for your product. Select the add image button:
Select add image button (click for larger)
You then need to add your images by following the steps below:
- Select an image from your computer
- Enter its title, and click on “save all changes”
- Then close the image popup
As such:
Upload image from computer (click for larger)
Enter image details (click for larger)
To complete your work, you need to add this code just above your product description => [dpsc_display_product]
It should now look like this:
Complete your work by entering the code (click for larger)
To get the most out of your shop, you need to add a category that you will use for all of your products. All of your products should go into one category. Add the category before you save and publish your product.
Add your product category (click to see larger)
Click Publish and you are done! You can now view your product. Nice, eh?
You forgot to add the “Insert into post” option. Don’t you?
I think whoever wrote this did in fact omit that step.
If you “insert into post” you will end up displaying two images instead of just one. This is because by default DukaPress shows all attached images automatically and so you should NOT click “insert into post”.
ok, that explains it then, I was also inserting pics into post and ended up with two images
Hi guys,
Very much enjoying the plugin. But! Need some help with how to address showing each category of product. Currently my shop is setup with all products under main ‘shop’ category to distinguish from blog cats. Products are then assigned more specific categories – how to do I show the products listed for these sub categories through a widget in the sidebar for instance? It does need to be dynamic as client will be adding new categories on the fly.
Thanks!
Does using the product display widget work?
I am not getting the same “product settings” as in your graphic above at all.

I was trying to use the magic zoom plus, but the special display functions don’t work at all… The image doesn’t show up at all unless I insert it. Then it just shows me the thumbnail image and the full size image. When I click on the either image, it returns it in the upper left corner of a following screen (as if I had right clicked on “view image”); no functionality from magic zoom plus at all.
Without Image “insert” –

With Image “inserted –

“Gallery” Function with images NOT inserted into page -

(settings: [dpsc_grid_display category=”8” total="12" column="4" per_page="12" type="duka" order="DESC"])
I’m using the boldy template from site5.com designs. It has the prettyphoto lightbox function built in. Perhaps it’s not compatible? I don’t imagine upgrading to DukaPress Styles will affect this functionality will it?
Hi there. Sorry to get back to you late. It looks like all the pages aren’t working?
Could you please give me admin access to see if I can be of better help? duka[at]dukapress.org
Is it just me or is anyone having trouble with this feature?? When I use an image I need to “insert into post” in order to get it to show up? If i dont “Insert” it I get nothing, but thedownside is, when i insert, I dont get the dropdowns on the summary page. aarrgggghhh…… can you advise on this. What am i doing wrong here??
ok….. i got the image to show in the products page without “inserting it” but now it still wont show up on a summary page with the drop downs. im not a complete idiot when it comes to this stuff but im sure feeling that way at this point.
ok…. I figured that problem out. I was using [dpsc_grid_display] in my posts and i found that you need to use [dpsc_disply_product] to get the dropdowns to work. Now to the next problem. I’m not using the “insert into post” button rather im just saving changes. This works to get the dropdowns but im having a thumbnail and a full size pic show up and need to eliminate the thumbnail. Whats the trick?

It can be removed easily via CSS. Just add “display:none;” to the CSS that controls the thumbnail image.
You can also use DukaPress Styles: http://dukapress.org/blog/2010/10/08/demistifying-the-dukapress-order-process/
I am a total self taught newbie with all of this. How do I find the css for thumbnails?
I have been struggling with photos also and am by no means an expert, however I had my own little breakthrough with the photos that might help others. My photos began showing when I loaded them (not inserted them) DIRECTLY from my computer as opposed to the Media Library or Gallery. Nothing was showing up from the Library, but when I “Select File” “From Computer” it worked! It is done this way on the video but I guess I “assumed” that since the photo was in my Gallery that it would accept it from there.
Hope this helps.
Hi!
Do you have any shortcode to only add the “Add To Cart” button?
I already have a layout for my products.
Thanks!
Also!
Is there any way to format the Add to cart button? I tried but couldn´t do it using the CSS files…
Thanks again!
looks like your trying to do the same thing i am, you just beat my post by about 5 min.
Ive been trying myself and havent found a way to format it either.
In the styles.css at the bottom, i found the lines that control the “Add To Cart” buttons.
/**Disable cart button for out of stock**/
.dpsc_in_stock_sold_out{display:none;}
How id like to see this work, is rather than only dim the display and disable the button completely, can it be set to echo “Sold Out” and show in… red lets say?
hello………aanyaa
How do I get the products to display in a grid on one page? I have created separate product pages for a couple of test products but can’t figure out how to create a gallery of them.
Please use the “grid Display” shortcode: http://dukapress.org/docs/short-codes/
