Questions about the new (Amazon products) Stream Store WP Plugin and Theme

Has anyone invested in and used the (Amazon) Stream Store WP Plugin and Theme on a shared-server hosting account?

If so, were there any issues with overloading system resources on the server your hosting account is on?

Any recommendations to help make the Stream Store WP Plugin and Theme work as compatibly as possible with a shared server account?

    I've had to have my PHP upgraded, that's about it.

      Hello, Jean,

      Thanks for your encouraging feedback.

      My server hosting account currently has PHP Version 5.5.31 available.

      If your PHP upgrade was higher than the current version my account has, WHAT was the version you had to upgrade to to accommodate Stream Store's proper functioning?

      As an added thanks, here's a WP tip you (and others) might appreciate. I accidentally ran across a plug-in entitled remove-wp-overhead.1.0.2, which you can download from ~WP.org. I plan to use it to delete absolute everything I do NOT need to reduce the load on my shared-server's system resources.

          You have the time to copy and paste wikipedia articles (4 times in succession) but no time to answer trouble tickets from buyers?
          Strange...very strange indeed....

            Over 5,000 sold from the false advertising. Maybe a couple hundred are still being used if even that. Others have no idea where to post problems. Wish the time spent posting in this forum was spent on support. I think they have just decided to sit back and sucker buyers in to paying good money after bad.
            I have had 7 tickets open for weeks.

      Is working, thats why you use it after getting the refund!

          You have to send target traffic

          120 clicks in one month is 4 clicks per day!

          Is impossible to make money with 4 click per day

    These are the problems I've found with Stream Store:

    1. The discounts don't work as advertised. Ariel Sanders promised it would be fixed, but it hasn't been released as of this moment.

    2. Free ebooks will get into the Amazon Cart, but once you click on the "Continue" button to checkout, the ebooks disappear and the response is "your cart is empty". He claims it works, but it doesn't. I'll send him another video.

    3. SEO not working as advertised. I setup a domain with a niche, had Google index it, but then when searching, the response is the domain name with this message: A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt.

    Unfortunately, I am having the same and many issues and virtually no support from developer.

    1. Discounts do not work
    2. Cannot clear category choices or discounts and reset view
    3. Cannot add a blog without creating a subdomain because they use some strange method to tie up the posts
    4. Only runs on PHP 5.5 and many hosts no longer support that
    5. Getting a number of errors in error logs.
    6. Even though I am on dedicated server, load time is terrible
    7. They advertise that it does perfect SEO however when I ask developer, he says you must add plugins such as Yoast or others to get any SEO.

    Need I continue?

      They seem to do a good job with marketing and selling the product. I'm really disappointed. Here I was ready to setup a new branch to my business. Days wasted trying to prove the viability of the concept.

      And you're right. I even sent videos showing how it doesn't work as advertised. The response? "It works". No it doesn't. And it's a shame I have to resort to social media to get any attention.

        Jean, others,

        I, TOO, was so "ga-ga" over the salespage and all the practically passive-income benefits so convincingly presented.

        NOTE: I am NOT a digital predator/serial refunder, and I am not an intimidating S.O.B.

        BUT... after I listed the problems I discovered (including WF feedback and NOT being able to get registered in support.streamstore.net), I stated my perfectly legal option that if I did not get my refund: "I WILL have my U.S. Congressman (The Honorable ****** [his real name left out as a courtesy]) put my complaint on his letterhead to be sent to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission."

        Bang-o, I got my refund back within the hour!

        I do NOT like having to take a heavy-hand approach. But, they present such a rosy-cozy, no-hassles scenario that I decided I was NOT going to be taken for a ride.

        Apparently, for StreamStore to work like they "claim" it does, one must have a darn Enterprise-level Saas server that costs THOUSANDS per month.

        Hi Sofia. Yes, everyone calls me Reggs. Been that way for over 50 years.

        If you can read in-between all the developer's spamming here, you will see that others have been much more critical than me.

        For the record, I have discarded the theme and no longer use it. Got tired of waiting for the dozen unanswered support tickets to get answered.

        This theme had some great potential. Shame the developer didn't care to fix the issues.

        Have a great day!

      I did download the product again and that took care of the discount issues.

      The free ebook issue is due to the way Amazon sells it's ebooks. So I removed any "add to cart" buttons and people click on the free ebook and goes straight to the amazon page. Problems solved so far.

          I'm having a lot of problems with the theme. 1st it won't load any of the theme templates they all show up blank, 2nd it won't let me put in my amazon associate link, 3rd it wont let me choose what categories I want to post on my site. I'm getting real frustrated. Does anyone know of any similar products like stream store?
          {{ DiscussionBoard.errors[10882806].message }}
  • Profile picture of the author Jean Norton
    Try downloading it and reinstalling it again. I think they did an update because it fixed the discount problems.

    The issue of support is that it's just that one guy. Even just to have a forum where we could all brainstorm on issues would be good.

    Now I have a different issue and it seems to take a couple of days to get an answer.

    I have to give up. It's been a month and I've paid for domain names, paid for advertising and the site keeps breaking. I can no longer trust anything from Ariel Sanders as the support sucks and the product doesn't work. Now on to ripoff report dot com.

    I purchased this theme/plugin and it's been terrible. My entire site crashed after loading the software. Submitted a support ticket and no response. The concept is awesome and I even really like the image editing and social media integration, but if it's broke it's no good no matter how much we like the concept. Based on other reviews here it seems like I'm not the only one to have issues.

    Hi, I'm Ariel Sanders, the product creator of Stream Store

    I sent an email when the launch begins telling that the product get a lot of new customers and the support and refunds could take some days... I'm really sorry about that..

    But I gave all the refunds and I answered all the support, really with some delay. Enter an fix each site that was having problems.

    About the comment of Brian Randall, is always better to have some pages of content to get approved in Amazon. In this store you can have content with links in the sidebar and in the top menu.

    This is not a scam. Many users are making good money and have incredible stores,

    like this one about Bob Dylan: http://www.dylanstuff.com/
    this of Watches: 2smart watches
    Jewerly: http://brightpebbles.com/
    Cell Cases: http://collegecellphonecases.com/

    and more...

    All the problems mention in this thread were solved:

    1. Discounts do not work

    2. Cannot clear category choices or discounts and reset view

    3. Cannot add a blog without creating a subdomain because they use some strange method to tie up the posts

    4. Only runs on PHP 5.5 and many hosts no longer support that
    Not true, works in php 5.5 or higher. All servers support

    5. Getting a number of errors in error logs.

    6. Even though I am on dedicated server, load time is terrible

    The theme has its own SEO settings, and you can use with Yoast, I only that is a plugin that could change the haccess

    I apologize for the inconveniences...

      Hi Ariel,
      Thanks for a great product. It looks like that you paid a lot of attention to every detail and it is very professional.
      I bought the Full Pack of StreamStore.
      I had some issues caused by wrong settings, by me, which overloaded the system, but Ariel managed to support and find the problem.
      I have now another small issue on one of my sites, which is probably caused by a unique setup. Ariel is working with me to identify it.
      From my experience from the last weeks, working with this product, I can tell you that I trust Ariel.
      It is true that he is probably overloaded now, and it takes time for him to get back, but, believe me, he is not ignoring you and he will get back with a solution.

      Don't expect to make money fast, because you need to bring the traffic before that happens.

      Bottom line - highly recommended.

      As I wrote in my previous comment, the product is stable and working. The developer gives good support but he tends to be slow in responding. If you have patience he will solve any problem you have. That's my experience with him.
