    That fixed it! Thank you, Mihaela!

    The text that I have entered in the caption field does not appear when hovering over the image, like it does in the demo.

    So if that is where I am supposed to enter it, perhaps there is some conflict with another plugin, or with my theme that is making it not show up?

    Aha! I was finally able to recreate the problem!

    Thanks for your insight, svseeker.

    It seems that the PayPal Express checkout is the problem. Adding items to a cart when not logged in, and then clicking on the “Checkout with PayPal” button rather than the woocommerce checkout button is what allows it to be paid without selecting a shipping method. So disabling Guest Checkout does not solve the problem, but rather disabling PayPal express checkout. This requires a customer to go through the woocommerce checkout before proceeding to paypal payment, which means woocommerce has a chance to calculate shipping before handing it off to paypal.

    Honestly, I don’t see the benefit in having PayPal Express checkout installed anyway. Hopefully this solves the problem.

    I can confirm that in both instances that this happened, it was with a ‘guest’ order. Although I have had many other guest orders go through properly, so I didn’t think this was relevant.

    I thought it might have had something to do with PayPal as well, if they select paypal checkout instead of my checkout, but in trying to recreate the issue, I was not able to cause the problem that way either.

    You can’t really troubleshoot this issue by disabling plugins, because it happens so infrequently that you could disable a plugin for weeks, and still not know if it solved the issue. In the meantime, no one would be able to properly place orders on my website anyway, because I rely on the plugins to make it function properly.

    I could try disabling guest checkout and see if I have any more issues with this.

    svseeker, it sounds like you have had a lot more cases of this — has it always been a guest order?
