    I’m having an issue where after the BC4WP plugin is installed and connected, the WordPress storefront URL is not appearing in the BigCommerce Channel Manager. Without that available, I am unable to access route changes.
    I’ve attempted to delete and reinstall the plugin several times and have also tried to delete and create a new channel in Bigcommerce.

    I have an open ticket with BigCommerce support, but I’ll bet they respond with “it’s a plugin problem”.

    It was a Bigcommerce channel problem. I was able to correct several issues using the API tools on developer.bigcommerce.com, which solved 90% of the problem.

    I then removed the BC4WP app from Bigcommerce and reinstalled the WP plugin, being sure to use the same channel I had corrected earlier.

    At this point everything seems to be functioning as intended.

    Hi @aidancewebdev, I came across your previous message and I am currently facing a similar issue with Bigcommerce. I have already contacted their support team multiple times but haven’t had any luck so far. I was wondering if you could please guide me on the exact steps you followed to resolve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Hi @hassaanali723 ! I’m sorry to hear that you’re also having these frustrating experiences. I tried so many different things, I can’t really give you an exact step-by-step process, but here’s the gist:

    Start by heading to https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api-reference/d2298071793d6-get-all-channels
    Using the dark blue/gray section on the right, paste in your API access token and store hash (the first 2 editable fields in the first box) then clicking the light blue Send Request button.

    Doing so will add another dark gray section below the first box labeled Response and hopefully have a 200 OK status. The data in this new box is all the information about the current channels you have set up in Bigcommerce.

    The first one should be type storefront, platform bigcommerce, id 1, status active. That’s the Bigcommerce main store. Any others listed are probably your attempts to install the BC4WP plugin.

    My now functioning WP channel has this data:
    type storefront, is_enabled true, name your channel name, id (random number), status active, is_listable_from_ui true, is_visible true.
    There will be other data there, but thats the important stuff.

    There may be other channels listed. If you are not using them, they should have a status deleted and not have the channel name you’re trying to use for your WP installation.

    If your channel has different information than what I listed above, you need to use the Update a Channel API page to fix it. Please reply to confirm you’ve done the above steps and let me know the channel situation before I continue.
