Everything has had to be re-entered into the store from scratch, uploaded via c-panel and FTP, PHP8

In 1.3.9h when you set the settings for the store it was set to free shipping always, no address needed. This time it tells me that is not how to do it and that it can not be set that way nor as virtual. My store is set with .zips that they download directly after paying.

What did I do wrong this time?

Seems all my downloads are telling me that I can't do it this way...I think even the free items.

Thanks sugar, I swear in the older version we had things set to always virtual and always free shipping. Going into the product edit I turned those off and clicked to make it so, then went to the downloads manager and the yellow dot has vanished from the page so now will go to the rest and make it so with them.

The rule was more lightly enforced in the past, but when you configured it that way it caused other issues, so we tightened it up.
