Hi all, I am trying to figure out how I am going to add in another option on my website, When the webpage was built I remember the programmer stating that "he has fixed the shipping at 6.90" meaning he wrote some code to prevent it from changing. I would like to be able to change the shipping as well. But also wondering if it is possible to add in more than one shipping option at the checkouts. So customers can choose 'Pick up" if they want to pick up from office directly. The website is www.radarsdirect.com.au Ok where do I start - if there's anything you want me to upload let me know - I am extremely grateful to whoever can help figure this out. Cheers,
Neat Site! Whoever did this site knew his job well. My WP experience has been that there are lots of inter-dependent parts. If it were my site, I'd hire the same person to do any upgrades.
I probably would except they moved city last time I talked to him. Does anyone know where abouts in the back end you would find the shipping price code? I tried to find it but couldnt locate it. Please help
Can't tell for sure, but the code on the check out page looks a lot like the Simple Shopping Cart plugin. If so access this plugin via: Dashboard >> Settings >> Simple Cart, and you'll get to a settings screen that will allow changes in the shipping settings. Good luck!
Hi, There is no way to adjust the shipping settings there. I can change the flat rate - but it does not change the $6.90 text on displaying the P&P cost next to the product cost. If you were to hard-code a flat rate in does anyone know where to start looking? I fee like Im not making much sense, as the website's problem is so ridiculous. Thanks again..
OK, IF this is the Simple plugin, when in the Visual Editor, each product will be Named, described, priced, along with P&P pricing. Just below the writeup for each item will be a short code looking like: [wp_cartRODUCT-NAMEriceRODUCT-PRICE:shipping:SHIPPING-COST:end] Instead of SHIPPING_COST, you should see 6.90 (without $ sign). Change as you like. If this is not Simple Cart, my apologies for wasting your time.
If you have his email address, email him. Whether he's sitting at the server or halfway around the world makes no difference. He's going to be accessing the site via the internet. (If he moved into the middle of the jungle and has no internet access, you have a slight problem.) Without seeing the back-end code? Guessing "somewhere" isn't 100% guaranteed. No one can get closer than that. Someone is going to have to get to the server, download the code and analyze it. Having the original programmer do the modification will save you a ton of money. You can try this: Find the "Calculate" button on the checkout page. Find the code it runs when it's clicked. That may be where you have to make the change, to actually figure out the shipping cost (or put in some radio buttons to select from a few fixed costs, like 0 for pickup). And you'll have to find "6.90" everywhere in your code (use a text editor that can do a Find on multiple files at once) and comment out any hard coded 6.90 price.
