Hi @karenorm,

Would you happen to know how to update wp-config.php? As it sounds like you would have to check if the configurations are pointing to the live server’s database.

Edit the ones under:

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //

Reference:

Editing wp-config.php

Hope this leads you in the right direction!

@marcelkraan definitely sounds possible! Although, there may be other plugins out there that have done something similar to what you’ve described.

Search topics on “WooCommerce Marketplace” or “WooCommerce Vendors” to give an idea on how you can extend the functionalities of WooCommerce to come up with something that works for you.

Hope this gives you a good starting point! ??

@stijnmscheper Yeps! That’s what I’ve noticed in some of my legacy sites (old stores set up from many years ago where the values were left empty!) ??

It’s still dependent on how the data protection (or data retention period) policy of your country (or places you’re serving) is.

Hope this tip helps!

Looks like searching for anything related to swapping checkout positions led me to the same StackOverflow page that you’ve found.

How about trying to use jQuery to “swap” the positions?

Like prepend .woocommerce-shipping-fields to .woocommerce-billing-fields

Found this resource from one of the members in the support forums that wrote about this method.

Hmm. How I would go about troubleshooting for my own store would be:

– Do a test order to have the site send an email to me (check the email address with the email notification)

– If the sender is from the correct address, most likely it’s nothing to do with the SMTP or email sending providers — could be the receiver or email hosting provider that you might have better chance to find the solution from

– If the sender is not from the correct address (eg: misspelled or wrong email address), then I’ll check the plugins to find the wrong email address and amend it to the correct one.

By any chance if any of your recipients inform you about the error messages when they tried replying to the order notifications?

Would you happen to be comfortable with code?

Customizing checkout fields using actions and filters
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/tutorial-customising-checkout-fields-using-actions-and-filters/

Section 3 – Priority

Although there are plugins that might make it easier to re-arrange or hide checkout fields.

Hope this points you to the right direction!

Quick check:

Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings — click on Emails tab

Would you happen to have set a “From” address for the emails (as I remember the reply-to address is also using the email address set here)?

Alternatively, would you happen to be using any SMTP plugin which might have allowed to set the email from address?

Might want to take a look at:

Dashboard > WooCommerce > Settings — and click on the “Accounts and Privacy” tab.

Scroll to “Personal data retention”, as here’s where the settings for how long the store would be keeping personal data such as orders and user accounts.

Do let us know if this is works! ??

Hi Elvira,

Sure. I’ll troubleshoot it from here on. As one of my latest tests on a fresh install (with minimal plugins) showed no error.

Definitely has something to do with other plugins that are causing this issue.

Marking this as resolved. ??

For Step 4’s Tax rate (even after adding one line), there’s a top bar on the Tax page (or similar WooCommerce settings pages) that says “Finish Setup” (top right icon).

I just hope that WooCommerce team adds a “Skip” Step 5 (Marketing plugins) as some sites may already have a form of marketing automation set up done.

For those who are facing the “stuck at step x”, hope the tip about that top right icon “Finish Setup” helps!

I can confirm that this “messed up layout” scenario is real as I’m seeing it on one of my installs.

Although, I wasn’t able to retrace the steps to figure out if this was directly related to the Setup (one of the later Steps 6 or 7) or some other updates.

We are both using different themes, so most likely it wasn’t a theme issue.

Hope this added detail helps!

Hi Bruna,

Example:

When viewing other dashboard settings:

When viewing MailPoet’s settings
https://ibb.co/pxL3rtJ

It just looks weird on the dashboard menu. ??

Went through all the steps for all of my established/existing sites, only to see a blank WooCommerce Setup widget instead of the expected behaviour where the widget should revert (or proceed; for new installs) to WooCommerce Summary widget.

Yeps. Good job for fresh installs, annoying for existing sites.

There’s no way to get rid of the WooCommerce Setup dashboard widget which had replaced the useful summary of orders.

Neat! I’ve downloaded 1.30, connected the Google account, and updated it back to 1.40 and things are working smoothly again. ??

Marking as resolved.
