Woo Settings > Country / State NOT Savings

Hi there,

I took a quick peek at the filter you posted and at first glance it looks ok. I also tried to use the filter on my test site quickly and that also produced the estimated result.

When you say

However, now under woocommerce>settings> Country/State field, once we select and save the LK country and it’s state (Which opens/loads fine with our new list of states), it does not stay saved.

do you mean here: https://cld.wthms.co/WcxYGb

Could you post your code and we can try and reproduce.

Hi Con,

Thanks a-lot for the reply.

Your screenshot is spot on, that’s the place.

Below find the pastiebin LK file we use (we simply reduced the amount of cities from previous file), again everything works fine in the back-end with Woo Table Rate Shipping as well as with the front-end rates and cities. Only the above mentioned issue persist.

Also we have added the file in the child theme, and calling it via functions.php to load.

Here is the code added in the functions.php file;

Thank you!

we set up a new site, domain, our theme, db, and tried the new file, the issue is still there. Any help on this?

Hi @mo7900

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.

This is interesting. Because, I tried adding the code to my site, and I was able to see all the custom states you added. Here’s a screenshot: https://cld.wthms.co/An4XLX

Am I missing something here?

Can you install the Code Snippets Plugin in your site and then try adding the code there?

In case that doesn’t work either, I’d recommend doing a full conflict test as mentioned in this document: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

Does this help in resolving the problem?

Let us know how that went.

Hi Hari,

Thanks for the reply.

We do see all the custom states in the same area as your screenshot as well. Our issue is once we select one of those states (eg: Colombo 7) and click “Save”, that state doesn’t “stay” saved. It simply shows “Aland Island” as the saved country/state.

Can you save a LK custom state there on your install, does it stay saved?

Thank you!

Hi @mo7900

I tried replicating this problem locally. I tried creating a Sri Lanka zone, added multiple states to it, and saved the same.

As you can see in the screencast below, the regions appear to remain saved: https://cld.wthms.co/oPNdUW

Could you look at your PHP Error log or WooCommerce > Status > Logs for any errors? You might also want to try out a full conflict test and then test this out to see if the states get saved. More on how to do a conflict test here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/how-to-test-for-conflicts/

Let us know how that went.

Hi Hari,

Thank for the reply again.

But the issue is not on the shipping zones area. Those work fine for us as well, as mentioned in my first post, states are not saving in the WOO>Settings page.

As @conschneider asked via a screenshot here > https://cld.wthms.co/WcxYGb

In that location, can you save a LK state and see if it stay’s saved? (the states shows up on the drop down fine, but once we select one and save, it doesn’t stay saved and shows the 1st country in the default woo setup “Aland Island”

Thank you!

Hi there, any feedback on above? Thank you!

@mo7900 I believe the issue here is that the snippet didn’t have an accurate description as to how to use it, so it was not applied correctly. In the snipped XX denotes the state, so you have added $states['LK']. The problem is that each state added needed to have LK prefixed before the number like this: 'LK1001' => __( 'Colombo 1', 'woocommerce' ),

I have corrected the snippet and included it here:

I have tested this and it works in my store with WooCommerce 3.6.5.
