Yes, we’d like you to submit your site for placing in our soon to be launched Showcase section.

If you have a testimonial to share we’d love that too !

Also coming soon…

• New site design
• New styles

• New backend user interface
• Updated the popup styles and slightly modified the auction in a post CSS
• Added HTML support for descriptions in the popup, you can even embed a video now!
• Fixed a nagging tab error for the input fields for auctions in a post
• Faster code

That’s about it for now. We’re working on new upgrades already too!

Here’s something you can expect soon from WP Auctions (the best auction plugin for WordPress in the universe)

• Editable emails
• More styles
• Customizable styles
• …other secret options….

Go ahead and check out the demo on the sidebar for the new popup layout. The auction in a post and the sidebar widget will be updated soon too.

Also, if you haven’t noticed the plugin costs only $29.99, sign up here to download now, from $39.99 a few months ago.

But we will be increasing the price to $35 in a week or two, so if you waited to get this plugin you better do it before the price increase! That works out to around $2.91 per month (for a year of updates), and we add new features every month!

Upgrading from 3+ to 3.6

If you are upgrading from 3+ to version 3.6 follow these instructions.

Via FTP

1. Simply upload all the files from your local directory to your server. The styles/ folder has gone through some considerable change, so delete that folder on your server first before uploading the new styles/ folder.

2. You can delete any files that are not part of the new package, however please only do this if you really know what you’re doing.

Via the WordPress Plugin Upload area

1. Back up your database.

2. You need to delete the WP Auctions plugin first, because you cannot upgrade it while still having a copy on your site. Your auctions will NOT be deleted, so don’t worry about that.

3. Upload the ZIP file you downloaded from your member page via the Plugin Upload area.

4. Activate the plugin again once the upload is finished.

5. If you do not see your images in the auctions then you will have to CHMOD your files/ folder (in wp-content/plugins/wp-auctions/) to 777 again. That’s it.

As always, if you encounter any errors please leave a comment on our help page.

P.S: Did you back your database before upgrading?

P.P.S: Seriously, do it!

Without further adieu, here they are.

Popup preview with "Bids" tab enabled

Popup preview with "Other Auctions" tab enabled

The “Bids” and “Other Auctions” will be tabs and the relevant data for each tab will be shown when a user clicks on it. I figured it might be more easier for the user to:

a) pay more attention to the auction being viewed

b) offer more of a descriptive view of the auction item

So please leave your comments below and let us know what you think.

More new features coming soon and new styles as well!

Overwriting the plugin will require you to delete the plugin first and then upload the new folder. Doing so may void out your currently running auctions and lose image data.

We need beta testers.

If you would like to be a beta tester please leave a comment below using your personal email address and we’ll add you to the list.

What does a beta tester do?

You will be given bleeding edge versions of the plugin and will be asked to test it out to the point where something goes wrong. If nothing goes wrong, cool!

We would also like to hear from you on -

• How we can improve the interface.
• How we can improve the instructional language.
• What type of features you would like to see, and
• How we can improve the current set of features we have in place

What will you get?

If you have not bought the plugin yet we will offer you a 50% discount on the plugin price. If you are already a license holder we will offer you a 50% discount on your future renewal.

Once we have enough beta testers, comments will be disabled. So get in while you can!

Thank you to all in advance.

The old E-junkie links will not work anymore.

WP Auctions v3.5 Features

• New image upload process, now you can upload your images using the default WordPress image uploader.
• End auctions on a specific date and time.
• Custom bid increments lets you specify the next minimum bid amount.
• Updated styles, now your “Auctions in a post” feature will inherit the style you choose.
• Other bug fixes.

Here’s a preview of how you can select your date and time:

Easier Upgrades

With this version we decided to implement a membership platform to help make your updates easier. Till now we’ve been emailing buyers updated files, yeah…not very efficient.

To sign up simply head on to our main parent company’s site, i.e Weborithm Products. Once you sign up simply click on the WP Auctions product and proceed to purchase. Once your payment is complete you will be re-directed to your very own WP Auctions product page. Best of all, when we have updates to the plugin simply login to your member area and download the plugin!

Price Reduction

Not only have we added many more awesome features but we’ve also reduced the price. What used to be $39.99 is now only $29.99! There’s no guarantee it’ll stay that price forever so go ahead and buy it today, remember you get free upgrades and we’re already working on new features!

If you’re looking to translate the plugin into your respective language, here’s how you can do it. First of all, you need a plugin called Codestyling Localisation. Once you activate it, it adds a new menu item under Tools in your administration section. Click on this shows all the plugins you have that support localisation. You’ll see WP Auctions in the list together with any translation files (.po files) you already have.

If you want to translate the plugin into a new language, just click “Add New Language”. You’ll be shown a popup that lets you select a language:

Click on the language you’d like to create a translation for. The plugin will create the translation file for you, scan the plugin for any strings that you can translate and present a list for you to add your translations to.

The plugin has one exceptional feature that I just wasn’t expecting. When you try entering a translation for a particular phrase, it also gives you the option to get an automatic translation using the Google Translation services. Obviously, try and stick to languages you are familiar with; as machine translations can usually result in quite bizarre translations. But it’s an interesting feature.

Once you’ve prepared a translation file for a particular language; please get in touch. We’d love to include your work in future versions of the plugin so that other users can make use of the plugin using the translation YOU created.
