I guess this would help

[mc12345678]

Upgrade Zen Cart or if the host will support downgrade php version for starters. Zen Cart 1.5.4 was in no way ready for php 7.x...

Also/otherwise may be able to hobble through by obtaining the payment module software from the latest version of Zen Cart: includes/modules/payment is where the files are located with language files at includes/languages/english/modules/payment.

[Mike Harmon]

I will start a new store to check and will also try the workaround on the old one for the time being and will post back here the results. Thanks much for help

[dbltoe]

Use the methods at https://www.zen-cart.com/entry.php?3...d-of-upgrading to create the new/test store.

[Mike Harmon]

Welllll.................
1st I downloaded the 1.5.6c package.................
I uploaded it all.
I did not change any permissions...........
I copied my old database to a new one and started the new store. I loved the format!
BUT nothing showed from old database.............
I tryed a lot of export formats before I got one to work.
I did not know how to add to the new database and finally used a format like this:\

=========== and it took! The rest was easy. It is getting easier to do upgrades now or I just got lucky!
I haven't tried installing Paypal yet. Im sure that is where my method will bite the dust.........
I still have to find logo and color template.

What will happen if I did not change permissions? I did change 2 at some point but not sure ifit was the last time I when I got the copied database to work...

I have a regular progammer working on the original site but I love coding although I really bite at it. I had to re-do most of my templates a sthey werent coded right for the new site and used all those <div> things. I put them back to tables :) Servers probably hate me .
Im going to try to add the paypal express thing and Dynamic Price and The change customer password in admin addons.

Did you run the database upgrade after pulling over the old store database? I didn't see that mentioned...

The first time I did the install, it went straight to the admin area.
On a later time, it did say something about the database which scared me as it said it would more or less format it if I remember right.
I was pretty much committed so I followed the 2 or 3 steps and it
I got shipping and Paypal express working too.
I really don't like the responsive template when used on a small screen. It does not have a menu button at that point and is easy to become trapped and not move around the site.
Anyway, the problem was definitely needing to upgrade PHP for sure. I really appreciate the help and advice. I will try another install with another install and a pre-populated database and keep notes. I will wait for my old site to be fixed correctly by my regular maintence lady as I can not seem to add background image and color change for background! I added the code everywhere i could so no telling what is wrong now.

#logoWrapper {>>
width:760px;>>
height:110px;>>
background-image:url(../images/header_bg.jpg.???);>>
background-repeat:no-repeat;>>

If I can duplicate the next install I will post results and better document the install...............
In the meanwhile I thank yall for the comments and sharing of knowledge so very much. I would have liked to try the few page change suggestion but got scared with the live store and didnt have another 1.5.4 store set up.

after you drop the "new" database and replace it with a copy of the "old" database you have to run the installer again, and you should be presented with the option to upgrade the database. There are changes to the database required otherwise thing will not work correclty with the newer code and you will have wasted your time.
