I'm having an issue with wp eCommerce and using shortcodes to display product categories using this theme. When I go to a category page that uses a WP eC shortcode to pull all pages/products in that category all I get on the page is the text "Archives for: (category name)".
I have sent inquires to WP e-commerce about the problem, but I'm afraid it may be the theme that is causing the issue. Can you help me get a solution to this?

Hello midbaymedia,
Make sure to do these fixes, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/WP_e-Commerce.
Here is another similar topic but it's the same fixes as in the link above, http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/lots-of-issues-with-wp-ecommerce-plugin#post-22705.

I did the fixes and it didn't work.
I did some more experimenting. It appears the problem only happens on pages, not posts. So I added the same wp e-commerce shortcode to a post and it pulled the product category fine. I'm going to have to use this solution until you get this resolved.

So after redoing my main menu to point product categories to specific posts instead of pages (my supposed "quick fix") you could see the first 10 products in the list. When you click to see the next 10 products it bounces you back to the home page.
I'm afraid I would not recommend this theme for people using wp e-Commerce. Too many bugs when combining it with that plug-in. It's a shame because it is a really versatile and well designed theme.

Hello. I'm afraid I'm having the same problems. I have done the bug fixes elliott says but the problem still remains: http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/aran/

Hello yoypunto,
Exactly which shortcode are you using? Send us a link to the page and paste the code your using here.
I would also consider checking out Jigoshop, http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php/Jigoshop, which we are currently working on a child theme for.

I have done all the changes proposed here: http://mysitemyway.com/support/topic/lots-of-issues-with-wp-ecommerce-plugin#post-22758
I have done all the set up and introduced all the products in the wp e-commerce so its a bit late to consider another option.

It is actually in /wp-content/themes/infocus/framework.php. On line 138 you should see this,
add_action( 'template_redirect', 'mysite_enqueue_script' );
Immediately after that add this line,
if (in_array( 'wp-e-commerce/wp-shopping-cart.php', apply_filters( 'active_plugins', get_option( 'active_plugins' ) ) )) { add_action('mysite_head', 'mysite_enqueue_script'); }
And around line 202 you should see this,
add_action('wp_head', 'msmw_checkout_remove_filter');
Immediately after that add these lines,
function msmw_checkout_remove_filter() {
global $post;
setup_postdata($post);
$page_id = get_the_ID();
$post_content = get_post($page_id);
$post_check = strpos($post_content->post_content, '[shoppingcart]');
//if ($post_check > 0) { remove_filter( 'the_content', 'mysite_formatter', 99 ); }
if (strlen(strstr($post_content->post_content,'[shoppingcart]'))>0 || strlen(strstr($post_content->post_content,'[userlog]'))>0) {
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'mysite_formatter', 99 );
}
}

I asked you the same question twice but you still haven't answered it.

http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/ you can see all the categories there (they are created automatically by the e-commerce plugin backend)

I also see that the pagination does not work http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/page/2/

What shortcode are you using on that page?
Edit the page and look in the HTML editor and paste everything here.
If your using [productspage] then you'll want to switch it out with this one,
[wpsc_products category_url_name='your_category' number_per_page='2']
There should also be a shortcode button on the tinyMCE editor which has product shortcodes you can use as well.

http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/aran/ This is not a page, do not appear is "Pages" section in wordpress. It is the same as products, products are not a "Page" that appears in "Pages" section in wordpress. They are created by the wp e-commerce plugin, so a I cannot edit them, neither I can see their shortcode, etc. You can use this shortcode [wpsc_products category_url_name='aran'] to show all the products in 'aran' category in a wordpress page, but the link http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/aran/ do not use a shortcode because it's not a page it is created under the wp e-commerce plugin.
Regarding the pagination issue I have changed the shortcode [raw][productspage][/raw] for [raw][wpsc_products number_per_page='5'][/raw] but it is not working either.

I think it was obvious that I was referring to http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/, and not your category page, http://yoypuntolanas.com/products-page/aran/.
