In reply to: [LiteSpeed Cache] breaking website after updateI’ve been away from my sites for some time, and when I came back I decided to update to 5.8. Even when disabling my plugins first, this completely breaks my site (the white screen critical error message.)
I completely deleted and reinstalled WP on a dev site and it works fine, but updating breaks everything. Any thoughts?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WooCommerce] Main “shop” page displays differently than other woo pagesYes, that template option is available for pages, as you said. However, those created by woocommerce (including the main shop page) do not have this option. That was why I couldn’t find it.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Main “shop” page displays differently than other woo pagesI figured it out by turning off my plugins one by one. It was, in fact, something that Powerpack was doing. Something in the CSS that it generated when I used it to remove the (obscene amount of) padding that storefront has in the header seems to have done it (it was fixed after I reset the header design style.)
That being said, am I losing my mind…didn’t there used to be a dropbox on the bottom right of the page editor that allowed you to choose from 3 or 4 templates? One was always called “homepage.” I remember using that dropdown to select whether or not a page had woo functionality or not. In fact, I can’t create a general page that has the woo stuff on it (like the main “shop” page does) as far as I can tell.
Also, yes, I know I should have contacted woocommerce.com for support, but I’m one of those old-school programmers who believe that when you buy something, it’s bought for good, and the documentation should be worth a (bleep.) Therefore, I let my (obscenely overpriced) “support subscription” for powerpack lapse. I’ll get off my soapbox here in a second…but I can understand a purchase price plus a (small) continuing fee for support, but to charge the same initial amount on a yearly basis is highway robbery. I understand that everybody in the world is going to this system (I’m looking at you, intuit/quickbooks) and there’s nothing I can do about it, but it still makes me want to barf.
Thanks for your time and response on this.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Show products from current category only on category pageYes, it is currently set to “show subcategories.” Maybe I didn’t explain my problem properly.
Let’s say I have
Mailers
Bubble Mailers
Kraft
(Hidden Archive)
Poly
Cardboard MailersThere might be 10 items in the generic “mailers” category. I would want the “Mailers” page to show:
Subcategories (Bubble, Cardboard)
The 10 items in the “Mailers” categoryAnd nothing else. Currently, if I select “subcategories and products” I get the subcategories and the items in ALL of those categories (not just the current one.)
Also, I am using a “table” plugin, so when I go the the category “kraft” I want to be able to display ONLY the one Item in the Kraft category (which contains the form.) The “hidden” category contains the items that the form pulls from. I do not want these displayed (I use CSS to hide the category.)
So I select “products only” for the “Kraft” category, but it shows the one product in the kraft category AND all of the products in the child categories (in this case, the hidden category.)Yes, you are correct. This is my fault – I simply clicked on the first one (no variation listed) and did not see that beneath were selections for every variation. I found this out within a few minutes of making my post, but left the question in case anybody else had the same issue.
Thank you!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Change method of payment after checkoutI found the problem.
I’m using a plugin that allows me to accept orders as quotes. So I wanted to be able to accept credit cards once I move it from “requested quote” to “pending payment.”
The default price on a quote is $0. That is what was causing the error. Once I gave the quote a price, the error went away.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WooCommerce] Change method of payment after checkoutHannah,
Thanks for the suggestion. However, when I do this, and click on the “Pay for this order” link in the invoice e-mail, it takes me to checkout on my site and gives this error:This order’s status is “Pending payment”—it cannot be paid for. Please contact us if you need assistance.
Fair enough. Thank seems to be the general consensus with card processors, except somehow paypal does up to 15% or $75 overages, whichever is cheaper. But…well don’t get me started on how much hair I lost trying to use the “paypal sandbox.”

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Remove frowny from out of stockThanks that worked perfectly!
My basic question is this:
Is there a way to do a pre-auth (credit card authorization but not money capture) that accounts for a 10% variance? I know that I can process (capture money) for an amount that is LESS than the auth, but is it possible to do (up to 10%) more?One of the reasons I am asking is because shipping is an estimate. The latest version of woocommerce even tells customers that the shipping cost at checkout is only an estimate. So, what if this estimate is too low?
My only “workaround” that I can think of is to artificially inflate the estimate. However, I don’t like this solution, because high shipping costs are one of the biggest contributors to abandoned sales.
So my simple pay question is: is there a way to charge an amount (5%? 10%) more than what the original estimate was.
I would NOT do this sneakily…I would activate the terms checkbox that is a feature of woocommerce, and put that possibility into the terms.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Turning off “processing order” e-mail breaks checkoutAhh good suggestion. I did disable all plugins, but didn’t try changing themes. Franky, I’m getting tired of the “developers” who created the “theme” that I’m using. It seems to be some people who can vaguely code, but basically tracked down every plugin under the sun, slapped it all together, and called it a “theme.” As a matter of fact, I just asked my host service to migrate my old site (storefront theme) to my dev server so I can avoid all of their b.s.
I’ll get back to you either way if this resolves the issue.Thanks,

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Can I update cost before billing?Thanks. That’s kind of the answer I’ve found. I’m just trying to find a nicer way for the customer than just slapping on a 10% surcharge to all orders…or at least a nice way of explaining it to them. Extra fees like that or shipping are why most people dump a cart and run. Even if I explain “By accepting our 10% over run policy, you’re agreeing to (maybe) pay this much, and I’ll refund the rest” it’s hard to even read the policy much less understand and accept it.
Thanks for your help!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Show individual item price in confirmationsThanks. That page is really helpful. I used to code PHP, but I’m having to re-learn on the fly. I already found and modified some code for my purposes. As you mentioned, I used get_price(). I always hate it when people say “I figured it out” but don’t post an explination or code, so here’s what I’m using:
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_order_item_name’, ‘display_variation_price_in_order’, 10, 2 );
function display_ variation_price_in_order ( $item_name, $item ) {$_product = get_product( $item[‘variation_id’] ? $item[‘variation_id’] : $item[‘product_id’] );
$_var_description =”;
if ( $item[‘variation_id’] ) {
$_var_description = $_product->get_price();
}
if($_var_description){
return ”. $item_name .’ ($’. $_var_description.’ each)’ ;
}else{
return ”.$item_name;
}

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Price breaks plus forced multiples of productAfter a couple of weeks here and there working on this, I find out that the sales rep at my supplier didn’t know anything about any of this. He put me in touch with their web fulfillment person who said “oh yeah, that’s why we only ship exact order quantities on web orders.” So problem “solved!”
For the order status thing, I ended up hard-code changing the plugin (it was only two lines) so that the supplier notification e-mail is triggered when I set the order to “awaiting payment” so that solves that problem. Though with this new information, I can just go ahead and process the order right away.
Thanks for your help. The links you’ve given me for authorize.net and the capturing funds page will really help going forward!

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Can I update cost before billing?Sorry thanks. I was planning to use Stripe (it does not seem there is any leeway.) I’m open to suggestions, however.
Does Paypal allow the 10% leeway if you use paypal to process credit cards, or only if you use through the customer’s paypal account?
