Upgrade / Re: Migration tool checker ?
Last post by Basara - February 09, 2026, 02:04:09 AMHello.
If file or database structure comparison against a clean install doesn't resolve the issue, the recommended approach is a fresh install and migrating data. You can always export and import products into a new installation using the built-in export tool:

Extension Support / Re: USPS Extension Update?
Last post by Basara - February 09, 2026, 01:59:40 AMYes, 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.

Extension Support / USPS Extension Update?
Last post by MHaz - February 06, 2026, 08:09:04 AMIs 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.

How-to questions / Re: Category used to provide i...
Last post by Alberto - February 06, 2026, 05:52:16 AMTo add to this, if anyone needs to hide the 'No products' message on specific categories without editing global language definitions, a quick CSS fix in the admin panel can also do the trick:
.category-page .content-empty { display: none; } (Note: Double-check the class name as it might vary slightly depending on your specific template).
.category-page .content-empty { display: none; } (Note: Double-check the class name as it might vary slightly depending on your specific template).

Add the new menu item after you created a page https://abantecart.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AD/pages/12320858/Storefront+Menu
Content page supports custom layouts as well as SEO Urls

Categories are meant to list products, so AbanteCart shows the "There are no products in this category." message when none are assigned. If you want an info-only page, create it under Design > Content and add it to your menu. Otherwise, you can change that message in Language Definitions (search for the phrase and edit it).

To delete the scam customer: Admin > Sales > Customers, select the customer, then click Remove.
Hi Basara,
Do I need to create a special menu item or layout block for it? And will that content page still support SEO URLs the same way categories do?

Upgrade / Migration tool checker ?
Last post by ixl - February 02, 2026, 09:17:52 AMHi,
I wondered if anyone could help me on a couple of points below please?
1, Is there a way or do you have a means to migrate the dataset, so we know its in line with the latest update?
I mean, I have what I think is a partly broke install, its either a DB or actual program file issue, but I still have not fully resolved it.
Its based around the emailing from the template, where I am certain the update broke the program or db somewhere along the line, so I am having to use a separate installed location, but I'd rather fix the original db or program.
To do this, I would like somehow to run a migration tool to check the db and constraints are all correct and fix, if there are discrepancies, among everything else, so I can be sure the db is correct and in line. The same goes for the abante files themselves. Any ideas would be helpful.
I seem to remember phpbb having a tool or script to do this, but cannot seem yet to see anything here for abante.
Unless the only way to do this is do a manual install, is that the only way?
2, Also, something I noticed with regards to the export tool for migrations, going forward this would be ideal to have abante listed as well, so we can export and import to separate installs. Seems strange you dont list abante as well?

Last post by ixl - February 02, 2026, 09:06:26 AMIdeally the update should both inform before hand and force the theme to the new one. Good to know though, cheers for sharing fixes.

Support / Re: Blocks and Layouts
Last post by Sterlingg - January 20, 2026, 05:56:21 AMI'm curious about how to customize the layout and blocks in AbanteCart without affecting the original files in the theme folder. Are there best practices or methods for achieving this?
