Guys were trying to implement a shopping cart credit card submission page that's meant to be implementing a wordpress plugin, but, think the original guy just copied and pasted things in without knowing what they were meant to be doing, but, main issue is that for example, trying to find out, off hand where wordpress is obtaining generated content from based on URL similar to the following:

http://site.domain.com/?page_index=4

Etc. etc. - and, FWIW, have now gone and downloaded a clean install of wordpress off the wordpress.org site, so will try figure this stuff out in my own time, but, I don't like working on other guys code when it becomes obvious they did quite a bit of copy/pasteing, etc., but anyway...<smile>

And, also didn't appreciate it when you then try visit the wp-admin part of site to try find out if you can trace URL mappings/indexes etc. there, and it tells you you're still logged in as a front-end profile, and doesn't seem to offer any logout link - suppose it might be some or other untagged image that triggers a background post process when clicked on, but anyway - suppose could at least have tried trashing relevant cookies to clear login status, or something.

Stay well

Will check it out, but, frustration/irritation at moment is that it seems

really need to work only in one very specific way with things, including
what seems like a very much point-and-click/drag-and-drop method, but
anyway...LOL!

In other words, while suppose it might be good in long run, doesn't seem
like you can too easily jump right in, and make things happen right off the
bat, without wading through a whole bunch of stuff first.

  Hi Jacob,

  To be honest, I don't know where in the code to do this, but I do know
that WordPress has a whole API. The best place to start is
http://www.wordpress.org/. You can get a copy of the source, read the
documentation, and so on. You might even luck out and find plug ins that can
do what you want.



  Thanks.



  Jim

  Silly question, but, if you want to look into making changes to someone
else's wordPress site/production, where do you start, etc.?

  TIA
