Sorry to dig back old thread. But do we have a simpler way just to reset the shopping cart to its initial state cz we always tried adding a few dummy products first.

I absolutely love you for writing this. You totally saved me. I made the mistake of installing WP Commerce on my hightest-traffic site at 11pm “just to try it out” and it broke all of my custom pages. I was flipping out and hating myself for not backing up first, about to chug a coffee and write off the next 24 hours of my life. You saved me from having to stay up all night troubleshooting and/or restoring from a day-old backup. Thank you so much. I can get a full night’s sleep tonight, and it’s all because you took the time to put this together.

In reply to Nathan.

You’re right Nathan, this is a little bit advanced. You need to run these commands from the command line interface for MySQL – They might work if you run them from phpMySQL which your host probably provides. Also, the steps are a little bit old but they should be able to guide you through the process. the “-e” part means “execute and exit” So we’re saying use this username and password, and “-e” this command.

In reply to Elisa. Hi Elisa, this is a tutorial that requires you to use the command line interface for MySQL. It's not recommended if you don't know how to use that part. Is your site still broken right now? I can help you if you give me a call or contact me.

This post assumes more knowledge about SQL that the average user I would say.

I’m getting an error when I try to even run the first run of the SQL code you mentioned.

When replacing -uuser and -ppassword,, what is the syntax? What is the -e? Do I need to delete the “database” line from that code if I am running the SQL query from within the database?

Again, your post seems to be very helpful, but not to the average user like me.

Hi,
I am using the most recent versions of both WP and the wp e-commerce plugin. I foolishly installed this plugin on an existing site (which broke the site) and when I uninstalled, all the pages are directing to the homepage. Anyways, I am trying to uninstall and get the site back up again. When you say to “to get the rows that got inserted into the wp-options table, run this
((you’ll have to change some values like username, password, database
and prefix)):” where do I put in my database info and what goes in the place of “-e”? Also, any recommendations on how I could incorporate this plugin into and existing site? Thank you very much for your time! Elisa

I am having issues with the plugin in firefox… it freezes my browser when I try to navigate the store… Someone said it could be because i changed my image sizes and I changed them back but it is still not working.. I also replaced the default css file and that did not work… any idea’s?

Well, this post with the simple 3 steps solved the problem..

I removed all the tables starting with wpsc. After that still there was this f kng products-page. So I searched my mysql database for ‘products-page’ and deleted all rows (the word occured 9 times, in two different tables) were it was found.

Many thanks. Wasted all evening with wp e commerce…

Hi Chris, sorry for not getting back to you earlier, but I’m glad you figured it out. And thanks for the reminder on this… I will be updating it soon. No worries on the code, I’ll try to fix it.

OK, just found the mysterious entries in the WP_POSTS table and removed them, and now the menu items are gone. I still wonder why these didn’t show up in the Pages or Posts list in WP admin, but that’s a mystery to solve another day.

Hope this helps, and sorry for the extremely long line in my previous message, which doesn’t look nice in your page layout 🙁

In reply to Oscar. Yes, please do! I am pulling my hair after desperately trying to uninstall version 3.7.6.2 from a test install of WP 2.9.2. Removing the plugin via the WP interface didn't remove any of the DB tables. I dropped all the WPSC_ tables, and just did a mass delete on the WP_OPTIONS table based on all the "add_option" calls I found in install_and_update.php. Still I have a Products Page item in my site menu, which for the life of me I cannot get rid of!! Any pointers very welcome. Thanks in advance. For reference, I am including the DELETE statement with all options added by this version.

DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name in ('wpsc_purchaselogs_fixed','wpsc_version','show_thumbnails','product_image_width','product_image_height','category_image_width','category_image_height','product_list_url','shopping_cart_url','checkout_url','transact_url','payment_gateway','cart_location','cart_location','cart_location','cart_location','show_categorybrands','currency_type','currency_sign_location','gst_rate','max_downloads','display_pnp','display_specials','do_not_use_shipping','postage_and_packaging','purch_log_email','return_email','terms_and_conditions','google_key','google_id','default_brand','wpsc_default_category','product_view','add_plustax','nzshpcrt_first_load','show_categorybrands','paypal_business','paypal_url','paypal_ipn','paypal_multiple_business','paypal_multiple_url','product_ratings','wpsc_email_receipt','wpsc_email_admin','wpsc_selected_theme','wpsc_category_url_cache','wpsc_incomplete_file_transfer');

I wish there was a way to just reset the store (db tables) to their initial states without having to uninstall/delete the tables etc…

Amazing job that saved me time doing a fresh install. This should be a sticky at the plugin support forum.

Thanks again!
