Does someone know the answer to this? Is Wp-Commere using SSl 3.0 or TLS?

Thanks

I believe the issue is with the format string.. If you are using the shortcode by itself [todaysdate] and your getting the error, check in the dashboard->settings->today’s date and in the text box for the format string, make sure you have either a valid date() format string or it’s empty, (empty is noy just blank spaces, actually make sure the text field is empty if your using the default, or cut and past the default string into the text box.)

I will try to update in the next few weeks to make the empty string in the format more user friendly

I believe it has to do with the format string your using either in the shortcode or in the default format string on the settings page.

Can you post the format string your using?

Thanks

What was shortcode you were using in the post or page?

Thanks

I have spend numerous hours on this. It originally seemed to coincide with 500 internal errors, but we got rid of that issue and it still happened.

The only think I can think of now is that when the customer clicks purchase, there is not an immediate response letting them know that it went through so they click again..

I added some jquerry code to the button to disable it and make it say “Processing…” to offer some feedback to the customer…

If you need help with that code, let me know..

I have about had it with wp-ecommerce..

Well I spoke too soon. We had a few days of no duplicate orders and then last night a duplicate.. There really seems to be no rhyme or reason…

I had the same issue and now seems to be resolved.. I posted my solution in this thread

I think I found the issue here with the duplicate orders. We have another issue that was happening that if you edit the checkout page, then the checkout no longer works, and if you deactivate and reactivate the plugin, it creates a checkout-1, and so on. The work-around/fix for this was just to edit the checkout page, update, then re-edit, removing the shopping cart image, updating, then just adding the [shoppingcart] short code to the page and clicking update.

We were on checkout-3, and the other pages were in the trash. Anyway, permanently deleted all the checkout-x pages, went back to the original, removed the cart image, updated, added the [shoppingcart] shortcode, and updated. I then deactivated and reactivated the plugin.

I have not had a duplicate order since.

If you are having a duplicate order issue or the checkout page issue and need help, post here and I will help

BTW,
We are using
wordpress 3.9.1
Wp eCommerce plugin 3.8.13.3
Gold cart 2.9.7.5

Again any help would be appreciated.. I am afraid to upgrade to 3.8.14 with all the posts about that breaking the cart…

I have a customer with the same issue as above. It has been haunting me for the past week. I can not replicate, but it happens sporadically. When it happens, it can happen once or twice a day, and then sometimes days when it won’t happen.

Can anyone assist? Any ideas
