Step 1 of Checkout Looks funny (USPS message on screen) after upgrade

I've finished upgrading to 1.5.3, haven't found anything funny except first page of checkout (checkout_shipping)

It looks like this :

Checkout_payment (and subsequent page) looks fine:

Problem with checkout_shipping is the extraneous info in upper left corner and funny header.

I'm not sure how to fix that and would appreciate any advice,

thanks

Check your USPS shipping module that it is the current version and that debugging is NOT turned on.

Thanks,

I don't think that's it; I'm using USPS RateV4 Intl RateV2 - March 7, 2014 Version K3, and as far as I know that's up-to-date..........

Check and see if you have uncommented an echo in the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

by doing a search in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit for:
USPS $type:

there will be several lines that contain that, but all should start as:

[B]//[/B] echo

and not as"

echo

Yes, Thank you, I certainly did have an uncommented echo:

Fixing that resulted in a further little glitch:

Would that be another uncommented something?

:(

Do you see any debug logs in /logs directory?

If so, what do they read?

a couple of entries that indicated my configure files were not writeable, when I was doing my install, which I fixed, and these: (other debug entries are older than this upgrade)

These do not look related to USPS ...

What else have you installed besides USPS?

You might check that all of the files on the server are current with those in v1.5.3 ...

I think USPS is the only file I've installed.

I did modify USPS for Media Mail (which is where I suppose I uncommented that line and perhaps this has been going on for a while unnoticed by me and isn't related to 1.5.3).

Perhaps I'd better get a fresh copy of the USPS mod and compare that to what I'm using, minus the Media Mail stuff........

That looks like you've made customizations to the html_header.php file in your template, but your changes have resulted in invalid HTML, thus outputting that raw unformatted html code to the visible area of the screen.

Doesn't look like USPS is related to your current error anymore.

Oh, yes, I did, thank you very much. I'll bet this is not a new problem, but rather something I hadn't noticed before. I've recently switched custom templates and I see some stuff in the one I'm now using that looks wacky. If it weren't for the fact that my housemate does not understand skipping dinner to fix code, I'd get on it, and will do so in about an hour...........

(I did buy coffee, just one can, as I am poor-but-appreciative) :smile:

To complete the topic: Yes, that was it. I had just switched to a custom template that I'd unsuccessfully and incorrectly modified in the past, and the html_header.php contained errors. Crisis averted, had nothing to do with 1.5.3.

Glad you got it sorted out!
