Installation and Configuration / Re: USPS Extension problem Web...

Last post by badmouse - January 06, 2026, 03:06:20 PM

has there EVER been a solution to this??  USPS has disabled the extension at this point and it's no longer usable as it sits.  Any help in getting it working again?

Built-in Features / Re: USPS default_usps Updates?

Last post by badmouse - January 06, 2026, 03:02:28 PM

With the NEW USPS API Updates, how do we integrate into the Existing USPS Pricing extension with our credentials?

USPS says I need to upgrade to the new API, but it seems to be just a need for new USERID/PW combo, but USPS is Consumer Key and Consumer Secret now?

Any insight?

I suppose there's no way I can access the index page so I can get rid of the off canvas menu and implement my own?

Hello, 
Some offcanvas issue has been resolved in the upcoming 1.4.4 release. You can try applying the fix from this commit: https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/commit/195ff5c14fdfbd8d09ed8a59a9d4ec00da2af1e9?w=1

Thank you Basara for pointing out a possible fix.  I actually wasn't familiiar with off canvas menus until a closer look at the css yesterday.

I may eventually opt to turn off the hamburger button.

Made no noticeable difference.  Maybe there's an update on .p-3?

As a general best practice, it's always a good idea to:
Make regular backups before experimenting
Clone the template before editing any theme files, so you can safely test changes
Temporarily disable blocks in Layout if you suspect custom CSS added to a block might be affecting scaling or menus

Great tips.  I'm now keeping copies of the originals as well as the progressively altered files AND the slider html (the Field History is not being recorded).

You may also want to try some of the other available themes, sliders to see if their responsive behavior fits your needs better.

Thank you for pointing this out to me. I may never have found that on my own.

So I uninstalled AC and reinstalled (essentially losing all the time and effort I had put into it), thinking maybe I'd inadvertently made some change that caused the crappy scaling and wonky drop down menu.

The fresh install behaves exactly the same, meaning this was the intended behavior all along.

The the drop down menu on the hand held device version isn't working so hot either.

General Discussion / Site not scaling quite right

Last post by Jorge Contreras - January 03, 2026, 01:51:37 PM

I'm quite certain I've not tweaked the scalability of my Novator v1.4.3 site in any way, as I'm just getting familiar with things around here.

I've been having problems implementing a box shadow on the hero slider images, and it seems to be due to the fact that the body of the site does not properly scale along with the content.

Please see attachment.  This is on a 400 by 700 screen.

Welcome! Optimizing AbanteCart product pages is key for visibility. Think compelling meta descriptions, relevant keywords (long-tail is your friend!), and descriptive alt text for images. Speaking of blasts, optimizing your site is like a good block blast session - strategically removing obstacles to reach the top! Clean URLs matter, too. Explore AbanteCart's features for keyword suggestions. Internal linking strengthens your site's structure. Good luck!
