We are close!! Thanks so much! But a couple issues:

It seems to work backwards, it enables per item shipping for the category 17 but disables it for the rest of the categories.

second in the admin panel when i click on shipping modules it states:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/content/W/o/l/Wolves17/html/cart/includes/modules/shipping/item.php on line 28



Thanks so much for your help so far! I will be donating
