Potential ECWID Lightspeed plugin compatibility issues with Dreamhost hosting
If your planning to utilize Dreamhost hosting service , be aware that the ECWID Lightspeed E-commerce plugin they link to utilize to build your site appears to have compatibility problems . On my Dreamhost website, the Store was setup my Dreamhost using the ECWID plugin and it worked for a short period and then the ECWID dashboard would not work within the Dreamhost WordPress wp-admin interface and now I have to separately access my Store product settings directly through my ECWID account. I turned this issue over to Dreamhost to resolve and nothing they did fixed the problem and they told me to talk to ECWID Lightspeed support and I did. I gave ECWID Lightspeed administrator level access to my site for 3 weeks at their request with no solutions provided by them other than Dreamhost needs to resolve. So as a customer for both Dreamhost and ECWID Lightspeed, the issue remains unresolved and both sides are treating this issue like a "Hot Potato" will neither party accepting responsibility to resolve it. So customer BEWARE there appears to be compatibility problems here. ECWID support stated that Dreamhost support which built the site left a developer ID in my Store configuration in addition to the correct registered Store ID for my site . Neither party is sure where this is what is causing my ECWID dashboard access problem, it's a figure pointing issue between each party which tells me their are most likely inherent compatibility issues, not saying this will happen to you if you use ECWID Lightspeed E-commerce plugin within Dreamhost but I don't think I am alone here. I still rated Dreamhost very high in a separate Trustpilot review because I believe this is ECWID Lightspeed issue and they don't want to attend to it. Dreamhost continues to use their plugin and I think all potential customers should be aware so you raise the issue upfront to them if you choose to go down the path I chose. Hope you find this valuable!
