We’ve created a new WordPress plugin due to seeing several help forum posts on WordPress.org. We’re happy to give back to the community and hope you enjoy. The Relative Image URLs Plugin does the following. When inserting an image into WordPress posts, WordPress uses absolute URLs to the files. This plugin overrides that functionality and forces it to use relative URLs. For example:
WordPress Default:
http://www.example.com/wp-content/upload/04/20/example.jpg
Plugin Override:
/wp-content/upload/04/20/example.jpg
This is particularly useful if you plan on switching domains ever and has been requested in several help threads.
Let us know what you think or get in touch if you have a plugin you would like us to develop.

Today we decided to release our second modification to the WP e-commerce plugin.
This modification will add the ability for you to have a product thumbnail appear in your cart when someone adds a product. Now you won’t just have plain ‘ol text but a visual thumb so your customers are sure they’ve added what they have meant to.
See the image below for a better description and look:
How to use:
- Download the fix below
- Extract it
- Overwrite your existing ‘shopping_cart_page.php’ file
- Enjoy!
Here is the download:

One of our more larger clients asked us to create a site based on the WordPress platform and utilize the WP e-commerce plugin as a shopping cart. One of the many issues our client was facing right out of the box was the inability for WP e-commerce to pass his SKU along to his PayPal gateway.
After going over the plugin in depth and confirming via the author’s site that this feature is currently not available, we did what we do best. We made our own!
Our fix is quite simple. Download and overwrite your existing paypal_multiple.php file with ours and your SKU’s will now be passed on to PayPal. Excellent for those using a fulfillment center.
