I’ve found out WHY your code doesn’t work, but not how to solve it!

It’s because wootique does

things when building pages, I mean REALLY weird. My ‘Home’ page isn’t constructed using page.php (but I haven’t the faintest idea what it IS constructed using), and I’ve completely proved that by – in utter frustration – deleting page.php entirely from the server, and Home still shows up when refreshed (obviously no other page does).

The only possible thing I can think of is that I did import this whole site from a test site I had elsewhere, which was using a different theme, but I can’t figure out how that might cause issues like this. I’ve also found out that /shop/ isn’t defined using page.php either, as per this post
here, but again can’t figure where it IS defined. Something is proper wrong here ??

I thought that looked right, but when I tried it just now I still have breadcrumbs on my homepage ??

So the only item you have in your shop that has a fraction price is the one that’s on sale, right? Or do they ALL have prices like 135.63, but its just that they show on the page as 135? I’m clutching at straws, but have you tried changing the currency?

What I’m trying to say is – your description of the problem is a bit misleading. Just for example, if you’ve been editing the css and narrowed the field where the price displays, the 136.55 might actually BE there, just not visible because there isn’t space to display it. The field for an ‘offer’ price has a different name, so its perfectly possible that that one would display correctly while the other one didn’t!

In fact, post the URL – its got to be easier than this!!!

I’m a bit confused – what do you mean when you say the price “looks like” 136? Do you mean it IS 136, or something else?

You didn’t tell us if the problem still occurred with the default theme or not? In fact download and install wootique or the other free woocommerce theme and switch to that, just to check.

You have <select name=”billing_country” id=”billing_country” class=”country_to_state form-row-first update_totals_on_change country_select” style=”display: none; “> (my emphasis) for that field. I just removed ‘display:none; and the country field appeared

My application is fairly low-scale – they can be expensive products, but sales volumes in single figures per week usually, or just into double figures.

I’m a bit too far in now to start looking at alternatives, having spent a pretty substantial amount of time in configuring this for my needs and learning ‘hooks’ and stuff. It isn’t so much essential to get the post/zip code filtering working as long as I can come up with an alternative way of managing this bit, but I have to do something about it otherwise all sales up that way end up costing me considerably more in postage than the flat rate I’m charging for the UK. What’s frustrating me is that it looks like at least some people have got this working, and of course it is actually IN this woo release so Woo must think it works too – it just doesn’t seem to ‘trigger’ here for me.

In the UK, postcodes are like this RS1 1RS, or RS12 1RS (I think they’re both not real, so happy to show those as examples). The last two digits are always letters, the digit preceeding those two is also a number, and those three together are the final location part of the code. The remainder of the code is made up of two letters, plus one or two numbers, which all together form the regional part of the location.

So, to test the plugin for here in England, I’ve tried adding SS in the ‘local delivery’ pickup box, and then tried as a customer to purchase with an SS postcode, and the field didn’t trigger. So I tried SS1, and that didn’t trigger either. I couldn’t have to identify a finer detail of postcodes, because then there would be THOUSANDS of entries – for example ‘SS’ as above covers SS1, SS2, SS3… SS31. I haven’t tried using just numbers to make it work as per ‘damnsharp’s example, but I’ll give it a go.

What I’m trying to achieve there is to list the ‘top north’ codes, which are a list of postcodes up in northern Scotland and out on the Hebridean Isles etc, so that if someone enters one of these codes I can add a supplementary postage cost (every UK courier charges much much more to deliver to those areas as opposed to the rest of mainland UK). I’d love any help anyone can offer here – it looks like this should work out of the box, but it just doesn’t!

Well yes they’re empty, but they can’t *complete* the purchase (at least, they can’t on my installation anyway). The cart allows them to proceed to Checkout, and they can fill in all the details there but when they hit Place Order an error is generated saying ‘invalid shipping method’, so its not as though your customer could complete an order for, in effect, ‘free’ shipping.

I have pretty much the same problem, in that I’d like the order to complete at that stage (i.e. without payment for any shipping, but taking the money for the product), and then I’ll create a custom product of shipping that’s relevant to their order only, make it private, and email them the link to it, so they can pay the custom amount. Unfortunately I can’t get the Checkout screen to complete like this, and the only workaround I have is to make the ‘rest of the world’ countries Free Shipping but change its name to ‘Custom Quote For Shipping’ so that’s what they see. That way the order completes. What I’m having difficulty with is that the text field for Free Shipping or whatever that’s displayed in Checkout is too small for me to enter my custom text description, so I’m looking for a way to call a popup box that I can put that in. No luck so far ??

Just out of interest, have you got post/zip codes working in Local Delivery Shipping option? Doesn’t seem to work for me ??

Sorry, didn’t notice this post or I’d have suggested this very same plugin. I’m using it and it’s very good – the only thing I’d say is that you seem to need to put a weight in ALL of your products, otherwise an error is thrown.

List of shortcodes available here . Hope that helps some!

Sorry, I thought that was bound to be it.

Don’t type the currency symbol in the price field

It’s certainly an idea to keep me going while I figure out an alternative – thanks!
