"Please enter a valid state/province" when using same as billing

    Hi

    After upgarding to WordPress 4.5.2 and WPEC 3.11.3 I’m getting validation errors on the checkout page when using the “Same as billing address” function.

    I fill in the billing details, tick “Same as billing address” and click purchase. The checkout page then gets re-displayed. On unticking “Same as billing address” the error message “Please enter a valid state/province” appears below the shipping state field even though the state entered in the billing section also appears in the shipping state field.

    Re-ticking (without changing anything in the billing or shipping forms) the purchase button then works successfully.

    How can I stop the incorrect “Please enter a valid state/province” validation error from occuring?

    Thanks, Mike.

    It looks like this may be a theme issue so I’ll take that up with my theme provider.

    In the meatime it’s been circumvented by setting all shipping fields as optional in the WPEC store settings.

    It might be an old theme file for wpec. Most oft he tines and outdated wpec-checkout_page.php in your theme directory.
    The easiest way to heck is this.
    In Chrome enable developer tools. Select the network tab. Then open the checkout page and enter the billing info.

    Now tick the shipping same as billing box and with the network tab open in developer tools when you tick the check box there should be a request sent to the server towards the admin-ajax.php

    If you don’t see that request firing then it’s an outdated checkout page file.

    Rename that so the Plugin loads the default one.

    Hi Mihai,

    When ‘shipping same as billing address’ is ticked I see that admin-ajax.php is called. Unticking the box shows the billing address copied into the shipping address except the State/Province.

    I’m on the latest version of WEPC but theme support have told me their theme is not up to that version yet. Their next release is due in 1-2 weeks. Hopefully it’s just the theme and the new version will sort this out.

    The Shipping State field on my site has been a bit ‘different’ for a loong time. If I make it optional in WPEC settings it still shows on the checkout form with an * implying its mandatory. Also if I rename it in the WPEC settings the new name does not appear on the checkout page , it will only ever show State/Province.

    Thanks,
    Mike.
