Problem:
Duplicate products were being displayed when using the productspage shortcode on a Page.
The Cause:
This tends to happen if you use the drag and drop sorting of products while viewing all categories. That’s right, you’ll get duplicate products and sometimes not all of the products will show up too.
Solution:
While this is annoying it’s quite easy to fix. Go into PHP MyAdmin and the wp_wpsc_product_order table and remove all products with a category id of 0. Refresh your site and it’s fixed.
If there is still an issue after removing the category id of 0, then remove any duplicate product_id rows in the wp_wpsc_product_order table too.
PLEASE NOTE: It’s always a good idea to take a backup before making any alterations.
Why do people tell me my website is slow to load?
One of the most common problems you’ll encounter when building your websites is that the images on your pages take forever to load. This can be a real problem because your visitors are unlikely to wait around for the page to show up in their browsers.
It’s also a sign of unprofessionalism and a problem generally associated with cheap, do-it-yourself websites.
Your images might look small on the page, but if you haven’t changed the ‘file sizes’ of them then they’re bound to be much bigger than they need to be.
I’ve just come across this great tutorial on “how to optimize an image for the web; while preserving the image quality; which will help your site load faster”.
