RE: “I can only add so many zipcode entries to the tax table for taxes to work. If I add one more zipcode it stops working. If I remove an existing zipcode that tested OK it will work again.”

I’m having sort of the same issue – if i enter just:
Country
State
Rate
and nothing else – it charges tax OK
Put MY zip code next to the record mentioned above…Poof does not charge tax.

BTW – i’m logged into the site as myself and my shipping and billing address are the correct state and the correct zip.

In this dir: public_html/(sitename)/wp-snapshots/

The package creates 4 files:

yyyymmdd_(sitename)_(bighugenumber).log
yyyymmdd_(sitename)_(bighugenumber)_archive.zip
yyyymmdd_(sitename)_(bighugenumber)_database.sql
yyyymmdd_(sitename)_(bighugenumber)_installer.php

So I would copy the …_installer.php and the …_archive.zip

Into the desired directory…like…

into…

public_html/(sitename_test)/wp-snapshots/

and then point a browser to

public_html/(sitename_test)/wp-snapshots/yyyymmdd_(sitename)_(bighugenumber)_installer.php

and then answer the questions and change some names and I should be able to have a fully working “test” copy i can fiddle with and not ruin my production (live) wp site?

(with the understanding that there are some other things that need to be done as outlined in the instructions)

(There were some instructions – i’ll have to re-find them that say check the following to make sure they work and you may have to re-save some things)

But basically that would be all I’d need to do. Right?

LMK

Thanks, LifeInTheGrid.

Hi LifeInTheGrid – Thanks for the reply.

So can I …

* copy those two files to a different directory,
* run the install php file
– which I don’t know how to do that btw
– i think i just point a browser window to that install.php file and it will “run” the install
* answer the prompts / fill in the fields and…
* have it install the new instance?

Thanks.
