Hi, @hegenberg,

ah, no, excuse me that I didn’t include this information. The theme is Storefront (4.0.0), not Prem Blog or anything else. No special breadcrumb plugins.

I transferred the topic to https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/storefront/

Hi –

according to https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/could-not-grant-access-to-downloadable-product/ this seems to be an identified issue that had beed fixed from 5.2.1 to 5.2.2, but reappeared with 5.3.0 and is now under construction.

Hoping for a soon fix, since I’m also affected
Philipp

Hi –

I’d like to add an “I’m also affected” notification.

Wordpress 5.7.2
Woocommerce 5.3.0

Problem as described in original post: Manually adding permissions to an order yields this error message (in German, but same content). Reproducable with any orders, any customers. The mentioned workaround with adding the item to the order beforehand also works but is of course unhandy.

Can you give any hints or forecasts regarding the cause or the resolution of the problem?

Thanks in advance
Philipp

@themehigh OK – we seem to have two parts here

1st: The postcode field in the credit card part. After some research this seems to be fraud prevention from the CC transaction service provider Stripe depending on the CC number given. When using a “German test CC number”, i.e. 4000 0027 6000 0016, the postcode field doesn’t show. So this question is resolved.

But:

2nd: The “required optional” fields. I can see your test order in the test shop, but you placed it submitting additinol billing information even for nonrequired fields. Try leaving everything blank except e-mail and you’ll receive a “required field missing” error. Only if firstname, lastname, street and town are given, the order is accepted, although these are declared non-required. (Funny enough, the postcode may be left blank.). When changing the payment to something other than CC, the optional fields are truly optional and can be left blank for successfully placing the order. So this question is still open.

Thanks in advance

@themehigh This is strange! I have no idea why a ZIP field would show up in the card details section. Anyway, this is a valid address in Hamburg (the city hall):

Rathaus Hamburg
Rathausmarkt 1
20095 Hamburg
+49 40 42831-2010

Thanks

Hi @themehigh

With the productive shop this isn’t possible because there’s continous operation required which cannot be paused for testing and research purposes. On that shop we just disabled all fields and left only Name, Mail and Country which may stay as required.

But:

I set up a mockup shop and am able to reproduce the problem. Please see

https://testshop.quadrivium.de/shop/

There’s one item available. Add into basket, go to checkout. As you can see, only Mail and Land are marked as required. The checkbox “validation override” in the backend is checked. Now select card payment and use Stripe’s mockup

VISA 4242 4242 4242 4242 with 01/22 and 123 as date and CVV

Fill in only e-mail and Land and place the order. The page scrolls up to the warning display “Please fill out all required fields.” – but with no fields marked.

Change payment to banktransfer or check and place the order. Order goes through.

Bit helpless
Philipp

Thanks, this sheds some light on the change.

@bladeke Thank you SO much! Exactly the same problem popped up with this update here and since yesterday there might have been some handful of customers deterred from purchase due to a “too info hungry” shop functionality. Your solution worked.

I still have no idea what this advanced option is good for. Any hints here?

Philipp

Thanks for your feedback, Torsten,

I’d like to add that in my configuration almost all tips and hints have been used already in the past. It’s WP’s disadvantage that the mentioned built-ins put suspicious comments to moderation instead of moving to the spam folder. However, I now also implemented the one measure new to me – extra patters via plugin hook – and I’m hoping for improvements.

Thanks

Just to underline the helplessness of ASB, this is a comment which passed the filter a couple of minutes ago without further notice awaiting standard moderation:

https://pastebin.com/Svv4jwZX

This is so painful obvious spam that I wonder why ASB detects anything at all. What’s going on here and when is it going to be resolved?

(I nevertheless reported it to the Report non detected spam Googledoc questionnaire.)

tnx

Hi,

solution for followup researchers: The desired functionality has been realized using

Aspexi Facebook Like Box Slider

Other useful search terms could be floating sidebar, sidebox, facebook sidebox.

Cheers
Philipp

I have to confirm this behaviour as well. Since some weeks very obvious spam passes the bee. It’s not totally defunct, since other spam is detected occasionally. What has happened? The correlation to the new year seems obvious.
