Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →

WP PlugIndex currently records Simple Seller version 1.1 as active, updated 16y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.0.

Overview

About this plugin

SimpleSeller adds a new post type to a WP blog, which represents a sellable

item. Each author (“seller”) enters their own payment credentials, and

posts are linked to that seller’s payment gateway with a simple buy-now type

button. A separate capabilities set allows the blog owner to differentiate

between those allowed to post blog entries and those allowed to sell items.

Setup

  • On the Admin page, select “Simple Seller” under Settings.
  • Choose a “slug” for all items for sale. SimpleSeller will create a page under that slug.
  • Edit the newly created seller page, adding whatever content makes sense. Publish the page.
  • (Optional) Create accounts for your “sellers”, or add the “seller” capabilities to existing accounts. We recommend using the [Capabilities Manager (capsman) plugin] (http://alkivia.org/wordpress/capsman) to manage this.
  • Enter your PayPal credentials on your Profile page. Each seller must do this.
