"invalid post type" message on wordpress site?

If you can, go to Plugins > All Plugins and deactivate ALL of them. If that fixes the problem then you can re-activate them one at a time, checking as you go to find out which plugin is the culprit.
Make sure you always backup your website before you do any updates. Full Backup With a Plugin Updates
Hi Marion, Thank you - I deactivated and then reactivated all of them and at first it seemed to make no difference - but when I revisited the site a bit later all was resolved.... So I really have no idea what the cause actually was but am just delighted to have my site working again. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me, much appreciated :-) Juliet

Hi there, when my website is viewed from Google Chrome, the check boxes to select delivery options or accept the Terms & Conditions do not show up. They are there - so if
Hi Juliet. I find that most problems like this seem to be browser related. I use Firefox exclusively and do not experience any issues. Hope this helps.

Thanks Terry. I use Firefox too but I obviously can't control the browser my customers choose and that's the issue... Fortunately, with Tim's help (below) I've managed to work out the checkboxes next to the delivery options and T&C's. So the only things I still haven't worked out are the strikethrough on my Add To Basket buttons and the quantity box in the Basket not displaying properly. I think it's probably some sort of coding issue... so I shall persevere! Thanks again for your input :-) Juliet
Hi Juliet. I think my reply was the limit of my browser knowledge. I hope your issues are now resolved.
Best wishes

No, it's always displayed like this. I think it's something to do with the CSS code. Do you know anything about making changes to code? I'm nervous to try - have messed things up before like this!!
Juliet you might try clearing your chrome browser cache I just checked your site with chrome and it looked fine. I may not have gone far enough thru the purchase process tho
Thanks Tim - just tried that but still no different. The other odd thing that happens is that on my webshop the "Add To Basket" buttons display with a strikethrough. And then in the quantity boxes at check-out the actual number hardly shows - it's almost as if the box column width isn't set quite wide enough. And then no check boxes showing next to delivery options or Terms & Conditions. I did Google the issue and there are several suggestions re changing my CSS code - but that makes me nervous when I don't really know what I'm doing! Thanks again for the help :-)
It happens as I explained below - both on the Products page of the webshop and in the Basket and at Checkout. I've attached a screenshot - you can see there are no visible buttons next to each delivery option, nor at the bottom next to the payment options actually.

I recommend you use Canva for that, In fact, I just did a nice tutorial for you. Customize a Header Image with Canva
Thanks very much for that :-) Definitely a really great tool to know about. Strange things going on in my Header Image section though - recommends the height of my image to be 0 pixels??? I dunno, my site's been doing such strange things today, driving me crazy! I'll try using this though and see if that sorts out the problem. Thanks again for your help :-)
Used Canva and created an awesome header image - thanks so much again for such a great tip and tutorial! :-) Juliet

Hi there, I just tried to send someone a seemingly very innocuous link to a "How To Add Coupons to WooCommerce site" video on You Tube and was told that I couldn't include URL'
YouTube has two version of each link, one with params and the other without.
What you need is the "Share" version, not the "embed" version.
And, yes, you can rip out the crud from a link and it will still work. If you compare the two versions I've mentioned you'll instantly see what's common to both.
Click the 'Share' button under the video and use the code that appears highlighted and ready to copy - no weird parameters.
Hey.
Parameters are things like &, = in the url.
Those are often used in affiliate links and therefore are not allowed to be posted here.
Of course you can link to a Youtube video, you just have to remove those parameters first.
Did you maybe try to send an embed code of a video to someone? Those include parameters, too.
Thanks for getting back to me. Don't understand how I can remove part of a YouTube address and it still work though?? Surely if I take out the = and ? that is in the address then the address will no longer work? Or am I missing something here?
Wouldn't know how to send an embed code - don't even know what one is!!! Thanks for any more light you can shed on this subject! :-)
No, I got it directly from YouTube site... so that is strange. I'm going to see if I can find something similar with a parameter-free address then. Thanks so much Moritz! :-)
A normal Youtube url shouldn't have any parameters.
Did you get to that video via a link on Facebook or another social media website?
Type the titel of the video in the Youtube search and you should get to the video and a link without parameters.
Cool - it's "WooCommerce Coupons Setup - How to Create ... - YouTube" . Just tried to access it again, but still parameters in the address.. strange. Thanks Moritz :-)
Ah, my bad.
I never noticed that, but it seems that all Youtube videos have parameters in the url.
The only way to send someone here on WA a youtube video is then to just send them the title of the video.
Sorry for the confusion.
OK, cool, thanks for checking it out for me :-) And yes, the title is obviously the way to do it then - thanks a lot for all your help :-)

Hi everyone, after setting up my WooCommerce site and, once I sorted out the shipping, it seeming to work perfectly, it now won't let me add more than one of each product to th
Hi Mark, Do I use Woocomerce on a social site? There are so many Woocommerce plugins, which do I use to link with paypal?
Hi Bryant, you can use Woocommerce to sell either physical or virtual products. Just type in Woocommerce and you will find the right plug-in to use - totally compatible with PayPal and many other payment gateways. Hope this helps :-) Juliet
Hu Juliet - I'm just about to go out with family for the afternoon (shinty tournament and swimming :) ), but I've got two woocommerce sites setup.
I would definitely re-enable cookies again though - as it does need those to function correctly.
If you can post the link to your site, I'll have a look when I get back later this evening (unless anyone else has been able to help you before then).
All the best, Mark
Awesome, thanks so much Mark. I have actually re-enabled cookies as this definitely made it worse. Just don't understand how it suddenly stopped working properly when I hadn't changed anything?? I was trying to implement a Coupon (which also didn't work properly - WooCommerce sorely trying my patience at this moment in time!!) but didn't mess with Cookies or anything else and have now just deleted the Coupon until I get this other issue sorted first. Adding Coupons shouldn't cause a total mess-up of how many items I can add to my Cart though should it (especially considering all Coupons have been now deleted)?
OK, so my site is http://yonieggs.co.za If you need access to the admin area just let me know and I'll message you the log-in details.
Thanks again Mark.
Have a great afternoon!
Hi Juliet.
I have no issue with coupons on my site (the one I have used them with).
Back to the original problem for now though...
Can you try going to the WP admin page -> Products > "click to edit your product" -> Inventory, and check that "Sold individually" is not clicked.
I've recorded a quick screencast here, that shows exactly what I'm talking about above:
http://screencast.com/t/SZcRb4bCJwzA
Let me know if that helps? We can eliminate it if not.
All the best, Mark
Mark, you are a genius! That was exactly the issue! Still not sure when I ticked this box though as it was working fine previously... But there we go, problem solved! Thanks SO much for your help. Have a great week :-)
Hiya - you're more than welcome - I'm just happy I've been able to help you a little, and hopefully anyone else who has this problem.
What about the vouchers now? What's the issue with them?
All the best, Mark
I re-entered the Coupon I was trying to set up earlier - and it also seems to be working just fine now, thank you. Will let you know if I have any further problems with it. Thanks so much again, you helped me big time! :-) J
