No worries, it’s a difficult one to explain. And I believe I had it working in the past, but it’s not for me right now. The priorities seem to have shifted. So I created a page with the same slug as my custom post type, but even when I click on the ‘View Page’ in the dashboard, it still brings me to the post archive.

I do have the ‘has_archive’ option disabled, but the problem is that I am using this plugin to override a custom post type created by a plugin. My guess is it is still enabled from the original plugin? I’m honestly not sure how it all works, I simply looked through some WordPress forums for a solution and found a couple answers mentioning the ‘string’ argument for the ‘has_archive’ option.

Maybe the solution is something else in this plugin, I don’t know. But if you have any other ideas, please let me know!

If more context helps, I was originally using ‘WooCommerce’. I could setup a ‘page’ with the slug ‘products’ and it would override the archive. I am switching to Easy Digital Downloads, whose archive seems to trump everything.

I’m not sure I understood the question. This plugin can use the same shipping classes, but it adds a separate shipping line in the order summary for each unique shipping class.

It looks like you have marked this as ‘resolved’ but if you have any further questions, please let me know.

It’s likely that is saved from a previous occurrence. This particular plugin does not modify the default selected options. However, the default selection really only applies for brand new carts. On my first visit, I did not see a problem. In both sections, the top option was the one selected.

Thank you kindly. I tried searching for the ‘woocommerce_shipping_instance_form_fields_’ filter on your GitHub page earlier and it came up with nothing. Sometimes GitHub search isn’t very helpful but the link you provided certainly was ??

My instance settings structure is a little different since I group everything into sections. It’s good to see a real usage of this filter so I can adjust accordingly or make a compatibility patch to ensure this issue gets cleared up.

Just one more thing if I could, how can I enable this feature? I’ve watched your video, though I don’t speak German so I’m not getting the full benefit. On the video’s screen I see DHL in the list on the shipping providers page, but on my screen it’s just a blank list. Do I need to manually add it or is there an option somewhere I’ve missed in the settings?

Thank you! Just want to see the issue live on my own site so I can properly adjust and test.

I’m afraid not. Are there any questions I can answer for you?

I am sorry to hear you were not happy with the outcome, however I am a bit confused about what you are seeing based on your description. Please note that the ‘Multiple Packages’ feature is actually part of the WooCommerce core. Generally code is required to enable it, but I created this plugin as a way to help users who are not familiar with PHP coding. It’s possible that your plugin that is altering the checkout experience may be changing how this feature works.

The banner at the top of this plugin page is an example of what it should look like. It should only modify the order summary at the bottom of the page. It simply adds more ‘Shipping’ lines to the order summary, and within each line is the available shipping methods as well as a list of the items being shipped in that package. This should continue from the cart, through the checkout, and into the order processing. It should never be combined.

I would recommend disabling your other plugin and seeing how this one works with just the regular checkout process. If it is different, then it’s something being changed by the other plugin.

Does this error happen with Multiple Packages disabled? It looks like something is prefacing the postal code with the state abbreviation (NY11375) which is not a valid US postal code. However that is not something that this plugin does. The fields are appropriately separated even when multiple packages are needed in the order. So I am not sure why that is happening or what is causing it.

Are you looking for a specific shipping method and ID number? Unfortunately this is a bit of a limitation within WooCommerce itself. No matter how many packages you have setup for shipping, it only saves the Method ID and Price for shipping packages. The items are indeed listed for each package, however. They are just listed beneath the shipping information, but the title alone may not be enough to determine which option was selected.

Just like with products, there is the ability to have meta data saved with a shipping option. You could custom code something to save the instance ID or option title with each shipping package if that’s what you are looking for. That would at least give you more specifics on the shipping option.

How have you divided the items based on whether they or ship or not? Have you used shipping tax classes? I know there is a way to override taxes based on which items are in the cart. Perhaps you have this feature enabled by mistake for some of your products?

There is nothing to “fix” as this is the purpose of the packages feature in WooCommerce. This is a feature of WooCommerce that this plugin helps users enable without coding it themselves. It allows customers to choose different shipping methods for each package as some items in the shop may ship differently. Each package will be charged a shipping cost for a combined total shipping price.

If you’re looking to allow customers to setup which items are shipped and which are picked up, and then have shipping based on the subtotal of only the shipped items you might be able to find a premium plugin that offers this, but that is not the purpose of this feature. It’s for admins to decide how items are handled.

I’m afraid this is not something that I can replicate. Have you setup taxes outside the regular Tax module in WooCommerce? Do you have a third party shipping plugin that has extra tax settings?

I setup a couple packages on my test site, one with local pickup and another with one my shipping rate plugins. The only time the tax line changed was when I changed the paid shipping option to another option with a different price. If I toggled between a couple Local Pickup options in the other package, the tax never changed.

Especially in this case, the packages should be totally separate. So long as one of the selected options has a positive shipping value, a tax should be calculated on it (so long as tax is enabled on that method, tax can be disabled at the method level).

But what if I am not a paying customer? I do not have a vendor marketplace. I was approached by your company to make this work because your users wanted more shipping options.

So Dokan Lite does nothing at all with shipping charges? Who gets it then… The files I was linked to last time were Dokan-Lite files. It’s no wonder I am so confused by the help I’ve gotten so far.

Is there a developer I can email directly to help with this?

We definitely have something in the works with future updates, but new features are being developed first to enhance this plugin’s basic functionality. Then focus will be shifted back to compatibility again ??

Sure! You can split the cart into groups based on shipping class with this plugin. Then each shipping class would have it’s own shipping line in the order summary. Each group would calculate shipping separately based on the shipping methods you have configured and return their own results to the line.

Also, by default the lines will be named Shipping #1, Shipping #2, etc… You can change these with the following code snippets if desired: https://www.bolderelements.net/support/knowledgebase/change-shipping-package-title/

I’m afraid I cannot replicate any issue with the code snippet on my own server? Did the page just load white, no content? Is there an error message in your php error log on your server? It’s possible you already had a function with the same name perhaps?
