Volusion’s only strong suit is the backend order processing. For nearly everything else, you’ll find their listed “features” to be more sizzle than steak.

This is my first ecommerce site I’m building for a friend of mine and I thought volusion was pretty decent for its price. I initially thought some sections (like editing the page templates) were closed out for the demo users… only to make purchase and realise the ugliest page of all – productdetails.asp – cannot be edited. Big sigh.

I’m really pissed off, what’s the point of allowing us to access the files via FTP when so many files cannot be accessed to?

I don’t think you can specify multiple folders from the WP settings.

The simple solution is to learn how to use FTP client software and use that to upload the files.

Using FTP software you can manage files on your host in the same way you would on your own computer. You could create as many folders as you like and then “drag and drop” files into those folders from your computer…

Once you FTP (upload) the file, you would use the “From URL” method to insert a link to the PDF (or other type of media) into your post.

For FTP client software, I suggest looking into Filezilla — it’s FREE and very easy to use.

With respect to #24, where uploaded files are stored, is it possible to have multiple folders for different kinds of content, rather than everything being in one directory?

Thanks
