Yes, we do plan to update the USPS extension to support the new USPS APIs.

That said, AbanteCart is an open source project and our development resources are limited. Because of that, we don't have an ETA we can commit to at this time. The recent USPS API changes require more than just swapping credentials, so it does take some development and testing effort.

If anyone in the community would like to contribute,  to help accelerate the update, contributions are always welcome.

I wish I had the skills to help with that. Last real programming I did was some FORTRAN in about 2001... Beyond that, I'm doing good to work with HTML and CSS.

Is there any plan to update the USPS extension to be compatible with the new USPS APIs? The existing extension stopped working this past weekend, and simply using the new credentials doesn't work.

Is it smarter to go through the steps outlined in the "change domain name" section of the user manual, or to try to keep fixing my current installation?

Added the forms manually, and it still doesn't want to work. At this point, I'm thinking it might be best to back up my database and images and reinstall.

Certainly, you can add it manually. Did you see any SQL errors when running the database SQL upgrade manually?

There was one syntax error during the sql update, but I was able to power through it by running each individual command by itself.

Ok, so I'm an idiot... I forgot the semicolon at the end of the "include..." line.

Ran the update again. Still only have the ContactUsFrm in my Forms Manager.

Can I add the forms manually, or is there something else under the hood that isn't working, too?

The Database updated correctly with no errors. When I did the manual update, everything loaded normally. I only have the ContactUsFrm in my Forms Manager.

This is the error in my logs:

2025-12-21 10:09:33 - Unknown Error:  AbanteCart core v.1.4.3 syntax error, unexpected token "class"

Line 25 is where I added the include('upgrade.php') line. Tried it there and at line 30.

Thanks for the help. Now I'm having a new issue after doing the manual update:

Hi! My site just stopped working this past weekend. My customers can't log in or check out - nothing happens with either option. I tried to post the error log, but I got flagged as spam for some reason.

Running 1.4.3

I may have screwed up, but I hope not. I had a storefront set up that was giving me nothing but trouble - constant SQL issues, wouldn't load, wouldn't check out, etc. Tech support for my hosting company recommended that I back up the database and images, blow everything away and reinstall the cart. Like a complete idiot, I just imported the same database that was giving me issues for the new install, and promptly had the same problems. So now I've wiped that and done a completely new installation, fresh database, etc.  The question is: how do I import the customer information and the products from the saved database, without causing the same issues I had before? I've got the database saved to my local hard drive, along with the online backup. So how do I copy information over and have it work?

Thanks!

Thanks much! That worked beautifully!

Thanks. If I can ask a really dumb question here: how do I do that? My host uses CPanel and phpMyAdmin for database editing.

I did confirm that the table is missing from my database, but as to creating it...

I randomly started getting the following error on any attempt by myself or a customer to log in to my store. I have updated to 1.4.1, and removed all the incompatible extensions.

Hello everyone,

I recently installed Abantecart for my friend's part-time hobby-related business, and we are having all sorts of weird issues with images and SSL errors.

The site is fightertowndecals.com

Issues: some customers are having no problems whatsoever, while others can't load images or the cart software won't properly load (can't add to cart, SSL errors when clicking on individual product links, etc.). When I try to troubleshoot, I have zero issues on my computer (macOS, Big Sur) using Firefox or Safari, but Chrome won't load images. My friend can't load images on his iMac running the same software and versions, no matter which browser he uses. Other customers are reporting the same problems, while some are able to load the site and shop successfully. One helpful customer told me he's seeing "ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID" errors, but neglected to tell me his browser and platform.

I'm completely flummoxed.

Thanks in advance!
