I’m trying to use the popshop plugin for wordpress and no success yet.

Popshop support has yet to answer…

If so, would you be willing to help me figure out what is wrong?

Plugins cannot be used here at wordpress.com.

They only work on self-hosted blogs using the software downloaded from wordpress.org.

villagegreen, you need to review the terms of service here. Virtually everything I clicked on in your blog goes through a pay-per-click sort of scheme to a third-party site, which is against the terms of service here. No pay-per-click or advertising is allowed here.

Read the yellow highlighted section in the terms of service.

Then you are in the wrong forum and need to be at WordPress.org, as our answers won’t apply to you. The software is different and, as tsp has pointed out, the content options are very different.

@villagegreengifts, I’m referring to http://villagegreengifts.wordpress.com/ which is still active, and in violation of the Terms of Service.

ahh. yes, I started on .com and moved over to .org

we plan on using the .com in one way or another, so I’ll change that over today. thanks for letting me know. I had no idea! now I wonder why it’s not something they want…

@sacred – you have lots of emotion around this! this must happen a lot and people don’t abide?

On average, we get probably a couple threads here in the forum each week, sometimes more, where someone is in a panic because there blog has been deleted or suspended due to a violation of the terms of service.

What may appear to be emotion to you is simply an attempt to let the blogger know that they are in danger of getting their blog suspended or deleted. Some just wave off the warnings, and then in a few weeks they are back here posting in the forums with “OMG! my blog has been suspended! I did nothing wrong!!! Please give me my blog back, people are dying!”

LOL. I can see how that would worry people…especially if they didn’t know about it.

It’s good you’re helping them know b4 it happens, so thank you for that.

I did a search for my username and found another one of your postings regarding this thread…so that’s the emotion I’m referring to.

Thank you for helping out @sacred.

It IS just frustrating to deal with the same issues over and over. I know reading the Terms of Service isn’t really that common, but it’s necessary to distinguish between services.
