shipping not being calculated at checkout

I went into wp-content/plugins/wp-e-commerce/wpsc=theme and
renamed wpsc_shopping_cart_page.php
to wpsc_shopping_cart_page_org.php
Is this the type of renaming you suggest?

In Store -> Settings -> Shipping, under Internal Shipping Calculators
Flat Rate is checked and the All 50 States box is set to $3.99. Shouldn’t this provide a shipping calculator on the Checkout page? If not, how do I do this?

@GLLCox
Under: wp-content/themes/twentytwelve/
better yet remove all the files that have wpsc in their name.
If you look under Settings -> Store -> Presentation on the right side under advanced settings it should show all the theme files.
Can you make a screenshot of that panel ?

Below is a copy of the themes files in the Settings -> Store -> Presentation window. The php files/css file have check boxes to the left of each. The “Move Template Files”, “Backup Your WordPress Theme” and “Flush Theme Cache” are click boxes.

ADVANCED THEME SETTINGS

Some Theme files have been moved to your WordPress Theme Folder.

WP eCommerce provides you the ability to move your theme files to a safe place for theming control. If you want to change the look of your site, select the files you want to edit from the list and click the move button. This will copy the template files to your active WordPress theme.

list_view.php
shopping_cart_page.php
cart_widget.php
category_widget.php
single_product.php
functions.php
products_page.php
default.css
grid_view.php

To change the look of certain aspects of your shop, you can edit the moved files that are found here:

/home2/zulustuf/public_html/lakeedun/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve
Move Template Files

You can create a copy of your WordPress Theme by clicking the backup button bellow. Once copied you can find them here:

/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/theme_backup/

Backup Your WordPress Theme

If you have moved your files in some other way i.e FTP, you may need to click the Flush Theme Cache. This will refresh the locations WordPress looks for your templates.

Flush Theme Cache

Ohhh..looks like you have really old WP eCommerce theme files, version 3.7 or lower.
Try under /wp-content/uploads/wpsc/themes.
Rename that themes folder under wpsc and it should then load the latest WP eCommerce files

Mihai,
I went into /wp-content/uploads/wpsc and changed the folder themes to themes_old, then into the Dashboard -> Plugins and deactivated, re-activated WP ecommerce. The “Calculate Shipping Price” section is now showing up on the Checkout page, and when you make a selection the amount is correctly added to the merchandise price. A quantum leap forward!!!

One “flakey” thing, though under “Please review your order”, if you click ‘Update’, after changing the merchandise quantity, or click ‘Remove’ you are switched to a page saying, “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?”. Also, previously under Store Settings -> Presentation I had “Display Fancy Purchase Notifications” set to Yes. I had to change this to No, because clicking that popup on the Shop page switched me to the “This is somewhat embarrassing,..” page.

I can’t thank you enough for helping me get the ‘Calculate Shipping Price’ section to work.

Try saving your permalinks again.
What url are you directed to after you click the update or the checkout link in the fancy notifications?

Went to Dashboard -> Permalink Settings; ‘Post name’ was/is selected and clicked ‘Save changes’.

This is the url directed to: https://www.lakeedun.com/98/

Mihai,

I finally showed some initiative and recalled that I had renamed wpsc-shopping-cart-page.php, so I returned it to that original name and voila–everything works!

Please send me ([email protected]) your mailing address. I’d like to send you a thank you/holiday gift for all your help. If you have a favorite store include that name.

I’m having similar issue. https://tophat.coffeepurist.com. Everything works fine if I’m logged in as admin to wordpress site, I don’t get the error. As soon as a log out to and order like the “average Joe”, no luck. I only have one shipping option with USPS.

Hello All, A quick note/update

I still have $1 shipping on orders over $75 enabled and it seems to be working at the moment. There have bee several updates, which I have kept up with. I don’t want to upset it, and do want to do a general tidy up of the site.

So I’ve set up another server to experiment with. It’s never as easy as the tutorials make out ?? The tricky part was changing the domain. I had to save and edit the sql file and then import it; over 10,700 domain references changed in the 5GB database. The theme settings disappeared somewhere along the way and took an hour to re-enter, but it’s working now under a local network domain.

Same here when trying to use free shipping up to a price point, and fixed rate shipping beyond that, plus the option to pick up the order.

As a logged in user, it behaves the way it should: It just shows me the shipping rate, correctly adjusted for free shipping up to the specified price point, and shows pickup as a shipping option.

Logged out, it wants me to “Choose a country” for shipping calculation, with no countries available for selection. The user cannot proceed, as the Calculate button does nothing. Also, it no longer respects the “Free shipping from…” setting.

I have already removed any custom wpsc templates both from uploads/wpsc/themes and my WP theme directory. I have also disabled and re-enabled the WP Ecommerce plug-in.

I also tried to use the wpsc-simple-shipping plug-in, but the country option still shows on the checkout page, and the shipping cost is not adjusted for the “Free shipping from…” setting.

WordPress 4.1.1, WP E-Commerce 3.9.1.

By “Free shipping from” I mean the “Enable Free Shipping Discount” setting.

Pasting this code snippet into functions.php fixed my Choose Country problem:

As for the Free Shipping Discount: It worked, just listing the normal price of shipping in the shipping options on the checkout page confused me.

Hi jorisw,

Glad to hear that Gist worked for you. I’ll take a look at the underlying issue shortly.
