Last post by Basara - April 13, 2026, 09:35:06 AMQuote from: badmouse on January 06, 2026, 03:06:20 PMhas 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?Yes, there is progress on this.
The USPS extension is currently in development and has already been updated in the 1.4.4 branch. You can try the latest version here:
https://github.com/abantecart/abantecart-src/tree/1.4.4/public_html/extensions/usps
An official release is coming soon, so this issue is actively being worked on.

Installation and Configuration / Re: USPS Extension problem Web...
Last post by geometrydashes - April 08, 2026, 12:33:42 PMThe USPS Web Tools API provides basic functionalities like tracking, rate calculations, address validation, and label generation, making it ideal for small businesses or e-commerce websites needing simple integration. It requires a USPS Web Tools account and is easy to set up. On the other hand, the USPS API offers more advanced features for complex shipping solutions, including bulk shipping, custom logistics, and enterprise-level integration. While both APIs are used for interacting with USPS services, the Web Tools API is simpler, while the USPS API is better suited for larger operations needing a more comprehensive shipping and logistics system.

No, you cannot use 1.3.4 database directly with 1.4.3
If you want to move to 1.4.3, the safer option is to export your products from 1.3.x and then import them back into a fresh 1.4.3 installation.
If you still have your 1.3.4 files and database, another option is to hire professionals to perform the upgrade for you. In that case, they may be able to migrate the store properly and preserve most of your existing data and setup.

Thank you for sharing this fix. This will definitely help others running into the same issue.
Quick question: Did you update using Softaculous or the native AbanteCart updater? It would be useful to know which method left the permissions at 0777.

Last post by Game Geometry Dash - March 30, 2026, 11:37:51 PMFast Checkout uses a different layout, so normal blocks break due to CSS conflicts. I recommend using supported positions and simplify or override the block's CSS.

General Support / Migration from older Abante ca...
Last post by AsatruAlliance - March 29, 2026, 03:23:00 PMafter having months of issues, and being unable to update (because c-panel/Installatron hates me?), and manual updates failing - I'm installing an entirely new version of Abante Cart - however, my old version/DBs are 1.3.2. While I did a full DB backup (the old site is still installed), I'm not certain that the old database will import into 1.4.3.
I would really love to not lose all my history (or have to re-load hundreds of products and options manually) - is there anything I can do, or am I just SOL?
I searched the forums, but can't locate anything that quite addresses my issue here.
Thanks so much for help in advance.

Last post by ixl - March 28, 2026, 09:27:06 AMHi,
Well thought I should maybe help you and others if they have this same issue, as I have finally fixed it myself.
The issue is with your updater, changed the permissions to the file task.php to 0777
Changing this to 0644 immediately resolved the issue. I have not seen any notes on changing this back after any updater, but I suggest its at least covered off in a future update release in case your scripts or softaculous' are incorrectly or not actually setting it back to what it is supposed to be.
Had nothing to do with hosting or server side permissions. Thought id let you know anyway.
CASE CLOSED.

General Discussion / Re: can not chenge my Logo
Last post by Niennow Amanda - March 24, 2026, 09:51:58 PMHey Jeffrysloan, changing logos can be tricky. First, check your site's documentation or theme settings. Sometimes, it's a simple setting. If that doesn't work, consider reaching out to your theme developer for direct support.
