When I imported the database and got the website live some of the products on the shop had slight errors in their names – some weird characters appeared, like something from the Wingdings font or similar. * I didn’t think this would make any difference to testing whether my shop was working or not. I actually used one of the items that had some of those weird symbols in the product name to test the checkout process and was getting an Error 525 message. Once I went and edited the product name and tried again everything worked. * I’m sure this fix won’t help everyone getting an Error 525 message, but just said I’d point out what worked in my case. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WooCommerce] Error 525: Unable to create order.

Please try again.” * I’m using the WordPress Twenty Sixteen theme and Woocommerce. The only plugins I have installed are Custom CSS and Weight Based Shipping. I tried deactivating the Custom CSS but this didn’t solve anything. * I also tried deactivating the Weight Based Shipping plugin but then I got an error saying “Invalid Shipping Method” instead. * I just upgraded the Weight Based Shipping plugin to the latest version, again this didn’t solve anything. Also, there was a flag in the Woocommerce system status that my PHP version should be upgraded. It was 5.2.?? and I had my hosting company upgrade it. It’s currently at 5.4.45 but unfortunately this upgrade didn’t solve the problem either. * Here is a print out of the Woocommerce System Status… * ``` ### WordPress Environment ### Home URL: http://www.subtleaudiorecordings.com Site URL: http://www.subtleaudiorecordings.com WC Version: 2.5.5 Log Directory Writable: ✔ WP Version: 4.5.1 WP Multisite: – WP Memory Limit: 256 MB WP Debug Mode: – Language: en_GB ### Server Environment ### Server Info: Apache PHP Version: 5.4.45 PHP Post Max Size: 8 MB PHP Time Limit: 30 PHP Max Input Vars: 1000 SUHOSIN Installed: – MySQL Version: 5.1.73 Max Upload Size: 2 MB Default Timezone is UTC: ✔ fsockopen/cURL: ✔ SoapClient: ✔ DOMDocument: ✔ GZip: ✔ Multibyte String: ✔ Remote Post: ✔ Remote Get: ✔ ### Database ### WC Database Version: 2.5.5 : woocommerce_sessions: ✔ woocommerce_api_keys: ✔ woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies: ✔ woocommerce_termmeta: ✔ woocommerce_downloadable_product_permissions: ✔ woocommerce_order_items: ✔ woocommerce_order_itemmeta: ✔ woocommerce_tax_rates: ✔ woocommerce_tax_rate_locations: ✔ ### Active Plugins (3) ### Simple Custom CSS: by John Regan Danny Van Kooten – 3.3 WooCommerce Weight Based Shipping: by dangoodman – 4.1.3 WooCommerce: by WooThemes – 2.5.5 ### Settings ### Force SSL: – Currency: EUR (€) Currency Position: left Thousand Separator: , Decimal Separator: .

I tried clicking on the url window in the browser to try again … and then eventually I’m taken to this link —> [http://localhost:81/sa-site-dev/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2](http://localhost:81/sa-site-dev/wp-admin/setup-config.php?step=2) * Where it says : * ‘ERROR: “Table Prefix” must not be empty.’ * I have the option to ‘Try Again’ * … so despite the change of browser, and despite turning off Windows Defender, I still seem to be at the same stage as I was when I originally posted this problem a few weeks ago. * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [WordPress installation on Windows 10 with WAMP not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-installation-on-windows-10-with-wamp-not-working/) * Thread Starter [code191178](https://wordpress.org/support/users/code191178/) * (@code191178) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-installation-on-windows-10-with-wamp-not-working/#post-7156178) * Sorry, been away and then was busy with other stuff since I came back… * Anyway, got a chance to try out these suggestions today. * First of all I changed my default browser to Firefox and then I switched off Windows Defender. * @ Mikezgardan … I did try using ‘localhost’ instead of ‘localhost:81’ on the WP page, but I just a message saying “cannot make database connection” (or something similar). * @ SniffleValve … I had tried those settings on the WordPress page before and they didn’t work.
