I think i noticed this too. but so many updates not sure what’s doing what.

I am experiencing this as well. As an example, here is the code from the front end for the private listing checkbox on the simple product form. Notice the data-rules attribute value of required. This is applied to every field:

<input type="checkbox" class=" " style="" name="_private_listing" id="_private_listing" value="yes"
data-rules="required" data-label="Private listing is required.">

Maybe look in class-wcvendors-pro-product-form.php

/**
	 *  Output private listing checkbox
	 * 
	 * @since    1.0.0
	 * @param 	 int 	$post_id  post_id for this meta if any 
	 */
	public static function private_listing( $post_id ) {

		if ( ! self::$general_options[ 'private_listing' ]  ) {

			$custom_attributes = ( self::$required_general_options[ 'private_listing' ] ) ? array(  'data-rules' => 'required', 'data-label' => __( 'Private listing is required.', 'wcvendors-pro' ) ) : array();  

			WCVendors_Pro_Form_Helper::input( apply_filters( 'wcv_product_private_listing', array( 
				'post_id'			=> $post_id, 
				'id' 				=> '_private_listing', 
				'wrapper_class' 	=> '', 
				'label' 			=> __( 'Private Listing, hide this product from the catalog.', 'wcvendors-pro' ), 

			'type' 				=> 'checkbox', 
				'custom_attributes' => $custom_attributes  
				) )
			);
		} 

	} // private_listing()

The 'data-rules' => 'required' attribute is set for what appears to be every single input field defined in this php file.

Hello,
We’ve been working this issue as well https://www.wcvendors.com/help/topic/vendors-cant-add-products/ ; which is likely related to the problem(s) you all are experiencing.
I believe this has been fixed by Jamie, and as soon as possible it will be available.

@behabo
I do not know at the present moment; I will try to find out when a fix will be available for everyone. I know this is a rather urgent issue.

did this get resolved with the 1.4.1 version?

whilst I was testing the dev version on my staging site this is happening on my live site too after updating the live site by accident (doh!) I really should try to make the staging site look a bit different to the live site. Ha Ha live and learn.

However, this is definitely happening. Even if I add products with all the fields and save them as drafts they are being published also. Also seemed to have lost the delete media file button in the media gallery.

I will go through debugging on the staging site a bit later and report.

ive updated to the 1.4.1 version and most of the required settings issues have gone. Although, interestingly even though I have set min & max shipping in the store settings, on the individual product form it doesnt seem to recognise this and asks for them to be filled in.

hi Anna

yes, it looks like that is happening.

firstly, I didn’t realise that you could do that. maybe it should be called max shipping charge override. But its a very good feature to have. As much as I love the shipping min/max option I was just thinking you needed a to be able to override occasionally on a per product basis and you’ve already got it in. 🙂

However, it is pestering me to enter max shipping and free shipping on every product listing.

also, I concur with a couple of other users on the forum, the woocommerce native shipping is not being displayed as previously was. I ended up using woocommerce local pick up as a global default, which sort of worked as a work around. It was clunky on checkout but you could checkout even if you had no shipping in the wcvendors shipping options. This has now gone which of course means no checkout.

Also, my delete media option has gone after the update but will go through all the plugins to check whats happening with that.

Hi @FERVOUS

I’m pretty certain that I only installed the beta version on the staging site, but as previously mentioned I could have confused my updates. 92.67% certain I didn’t mix up the versions. Only updated the live site before I was ready.

yeah, that woocommerce 3 was pretty big and no doubt they’ll have another release out soon that will restore the missing shipping. It was an ok work around for my type of market place.
