Hi, thanks ..
Storefront with a child theme, Paypal Payments plugin.
We had 100 failed orders in one day, all for ￡2.50, from different billing addresses, IP’s hidden by VPN, all origin unknown.. which is ‘card testing’, going through lists of stolen cards looking for ones which work. Three orders were successful.

So, if I could decline orders which had an origin of ‘unknown’ it would stop them. But I am trying that checkout honeypot method linked above. To avoid putting captcha on the checkout. Though it is possible this is not a bot, but actual manual input. I imagine a filter for: If user Origin = unknown: decline.

Perhaps a function similar to this? https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/stop-checkout-if-wrong-ship-to-state-entered/

Or maybe a simple honeypot like this: https://www.businessbloomer.com/woocommerce-checkout-anti-spam-honeypot/ (I have just added this, will see if it stops the bots…)

I know that, but the reality is we’ve lost business over this.
The majority of customers don’t want a PayPal account.
Will try the ACP thing tomorrow when the clients are back.

I went back to 2.4.3 to get non-PayPal working again, but its the same; requiring PayPal account signup.
This ‘update’ by PayPal breaks peoples websites without them knowing.
I see the instructions, but am now also researching alternative payment processors.

Turns out to be the Dark Mode Dark Reader extension for Chrome, which was not active on the website; but had access to “all websites”. Turned it off and Product Data came back. I should have tested this in Edge first really before posting. Thank you ??

Hi, thanks .. blank areas for all tabs from Inventory down to GetMoreOptions .. but like I said the html is there; just hidden by CSS.

“NOT_ENABLED_TO_VAULT_PAYMENT_SOURCE The API caller or the merchant on whose behalf the API call is initiated is not allowed to vault the given source. Please contact PayPal customer support for assistance.”

This started for us on the 6th Feb, 3 days ago, auto-updates on.
I’ve rolled back to 2.4.3 which has fixed it.

Interestingly I have two sites using WPP, the other one is using 2.5.3 and seams to be working fine. not sure what the difference might be.

Running version 2.5.3 and got this problem…

Need a solution to stop the plugin notifications please ……

Hi, thanks .. using functions.php like this, not working:

// Disable Update Emails

add_filter(‘auto_core-update_send_email’, ‘_return_false’);

add_filter(‘auto_plugin-update_send_email’, ‘_return_false’);

add_filter(‘auto_theme-update_send_email’, ‘_return_false’);

// Disable CORE Update Emails Not Working So:

add_filter( ‘auto_core_update_send_email’, ‘smartwp_disable_core_update_emails’, 10, 4 );

function smartwp_disable_core_update_emails( $send, $type, $core_update, $result ) {

if ( !empty($type) && $type == ‘success’ ) {return false;}return true;}

Thanks. If I switch to PhotoSwipe version 4 the images load, or if I disable the plugin, but using PS version 5 breaks it. There are no other lightbox plugins, only Smush which I’ve tested and doesnt seam to affect it.

I just deleted the plugin and installed it again, and the same issue is there.

So I’ve gone back to version 4 for now….

Thanks, I can see SmartSlider is a very clever plugin, but the only reason I came to it was because I wanted a simple slider that doesn’t use jQuery.. but also love the slow fades for a more video style look. Sometimes seams like everything I want to do has just one niggly little problem ??

It’s the “Super slow 10x” which makes this problem noticeable. It looks great; but causes the functionality issue. As a compromise maybe it would be better if there was an option for 8x or 6x maybe .. somewhere between?

Thanks .. its worth looking at, it does cause a problem. Cheers.
