The last few days Zen cart has stopped sending all email. Not sure why given no changes were made.

G'day,
We moved to Microsoft Office 365 for our business email years ago and had to change the way Zen Cart handled email to get them to work together. However, the change made email from within...
G'day,
Google Search is giving me a warning "Indexed, not submitted in sitemap" for 800+ additional images like...
As I see it you have the following choices:
1. Join the development team to speed up the process.
2. Contribute $$$$$$.$$ to the development team so that more resources can be made available.
3....
I do.
When it's ready!

Some more research and I think I’ve fixed this issue.
Seems nothing is put into the feed about shipping costs. So it must all be done by rules in the Merchant Centre.
I’ve just made changes...
My understanding is that even if the rules are setup properly in the Merchant Centre, the value in the feed will override the rules. So it would be best to get it happening in the feed. But maybe...

The above image shows the result of a product search where we get featured in the Google Shop Now box. The others get 'Free Delivery' next to their entry, but we don't. How can we fix that?...
A few days later Google stopped flagging this as a problem.
We implemented the list in the thread https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?224535-Excessive-Log-Files
order allow,deny
deny from 178.159.37.39
deny from 178.159.37.97
deny from...
deny from 220.0.0.0/8
This also blocks users from some Australian ISPs.
Deny from 203.0.0.0/8
This will block all traffic from one of the top 4 ISP companies in Australia.
Signature is correct. I have a lat9 to keep it going, who does an amazing job. Sadly there is another system running on the site that needs the older version of PHP. It needs replacing.
True enough. After some more digging, as best as I can tell using CDATA this way for ampersand characters is the right thing to do by the XML spec. But Google have obviously changed some checking and...
Yes, and that works. But the problem if that some brands use & in their name, e.g. Light & Motion, Sea & Sea. Thus people search for them using & not and. So in descriptions I will typically use the...
It seems the rules for the description field in the Google Merchant Centre Product Search Feed have been changed recently by Google. I'm suddenly getting 'Unsupported HTML tags [description]'...
Any thoughts been given to adding Image details to the XML Sitemaps?

G'day Gav,
Not having a responsive template may certainly be a factor. However, it's one factor. Are you doing everything else you can?
My eCommerce site still ranks very well and is not...
My advice would be not to have one. They generally clutter up and slow up the page too much.
Suggest you get rid of sliders. They're not effective and resource hungry.
Suggest you get rid of the social media share options on product pages. They are slow to load and I find few people ever...
G'day,
Cindy (lat9) was working on a plugin along these lines for me, which other things took priority over and it still hasn't been finished. (Need to get back to working on it.) Idea was we...
G'day,
People have asked about the problems I'm trying to solve. So here goes...
Zen Cart out of the box doesn't handle stock keeping units (SKUs) unless we set up every SKU as a separate...
We are having major issues with purchasing and inventory management. Part of the solution will be to support SKUs properly within Zen Cart, but that won't go far enough. We currently have some 3000...
G'day,
Is there anyone in the Zen Cart community using the inventory management solution from DEAR Systems (www.dearsystems.com)?
I'm looking for a way to significantly improve this area of my...
What addon are you using to generate the Facebook listing?
Is there a support thread for that addon?
G'day,
I engage Cindy (lat9) professionally to handle such things for my site. More often than not, appropriate changes are then made available to the Zen Cart community.
Best regards, Lloyd...
lat9 has implemented this for my online shop. Though the reviews haven't shown up yet. I guess it takes time.
G'day,
Cindy (lat9) has just implemented this on my store - https://www.scubadoctor.com.au/diveshop/. Hopefully sometime next week the reviews will start showing up on the website.
Best...
G'day,
I'm suddenly getting this when updating or adding products to Zen Cart. Seems to happen on products which have embedded code pointing to YouTube videos. Seems Chrome is blocking it as...
Also you Install a special if none exists for a product, or edit it if one does.
It's something I'd be interested in Paul. Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.
We've been using PayPal Express for many years for credit cards. Haven't noticed PayPal forcing people to use a PayPal account.
Some months ago PayPal suggested we also offer PayPal Payments Pro...
Where did you source this list of bad IPs from?
How do you keep it up to date?
Are you prepared to share it?
Looking good. I suggest a sort order will be required for the predefined comments.
Also need to look into how the comments will be handled in the emails.
My understanding is that comments by...
When you have a team working to fulfill customer orders, and different people each day, it becomes vital to have a central place for recording what is going on with orders, plus providing customers...
Yes they should, but they're not. It would also be nice to be able to easily choose which of these feature boxes appear on the manufacturer pages. On my setup I suspect only the New feature box is...
Standard Zen Cart doesn't handle this because it is unaware of SKUs. But there might be some plugins that fix this.
PayPal are now saying that their compliance team recently placed blocks on payment transactions to and/or from 'Cuba'. PayPal support think the word 'Scuba' in transactions from us might sometimes...
G'day,
On Thursday we got one of these alert messages. Emailed PayPal for help and still waiting for an answer. Called PayPal on Friday morning and got fobbed off with them saying it's a problem...
Unfortunately Zen Cart is a can of worms when it comes to handling HTML entities. There are just so many places in the code and plugins where it's overlooked. Plus if you start to sort them out, it...
G'day,
lat9 made some changes to my site so that priority in the results is given to items where the search item is in the product name over it being in the product description. There might even...
G'day,
I discovered these issues and a few other similar ones the other day. I've asked lat9 to come up with a fix for my web site. There's a good chance the solution will be made generally...
G'day,
I've just realised that there is a major problem with the way Zen Cart, Paypal and Xero work together in our Australian business.
We use Zen Cart for online sales. 10% GST is included on...
Ouch! None of that looks good.
I'm still using the default Zen Cart URLs. My pages rank pretty well and there are almost 10 years of links to them out there. So I'm not planning to ever mess with...
G'day Rod,
Our OzPost setup is currently configured such that for most Australian deliveries it uses a flat rate.
It's reported as 'Flat Rate ( $15.00)' by OzPost. I'd like to get rid of the...
You should be able to add some extra PHP code to do that.
That's very sad news Rod.
I don't know what the Magnetic One module did. Suggest you try and get that module working on ZC v1.5.4, or find out when they will update it.
