Hi Chris, we are a US PrestaShop agency. I sent you and email through your website. I would love the opportunity to build a upgrade project detailing all work required for your review, including flat rate quote. Thanks, Fred

yes, that is issue with cache modules, they create issues you can not replicate. tip: you would only disable CCC of .css and .js files if the name of the CCC'ed files are different across different page types, index/category/product...view source to check file names....if same then CCC is very helpful. our agency has solved many clients issues over time removing js cache, other modules that suggest performance.... good luck

I don't recommend cache module, in fact new clients that have it, after I remove it, many issues go away... try disabling it to see if this solves

yes, one click is not as easy as it sounds, sometimes its 50 clicks....you should step it, upgrade to last stable of 1.6, then again for last stable 1.7, and so on..... as mentioned, migrating data to new ps install is simpler for most people doubling hosting, I don't know what that means monetarily, but skimping on hosting costs is IMHO silly...it's the most important bit...I am very familiar with liquid web, did you talk to them about a solution, they are generally very helpful...cpanel sucks...and whm? who does that? jaajajajaja in future move to plesk...

one click upgrade does work but it might take a couple tries so you should make a back up copy of files and db before doing. also if very old version you may have to perform more than one upgrade, to 1.7 then to 8.1.....one click upgrade can be tricky for first time users... an easier way, assuming you only need informations from admin is to install latest ps into a new subdomain or other space then buy a migration module that brings over know PS catalog/customer/shop datas, I say known because some shops may have additional data from 3rd party modules. here is link https://addons.prestashop.com/en/search?search_query=migrate the simplest? maintain old php version for archived copy, assuming your hosting allows old versions of php and upgrade php support other domains...we do this using plesk but your hosting may differ good luck! let us know what you end up doing

using phpmyadmin, find 3 tables with 'connections' in name. Drop (i.e. delete data's from these tables)...I had issue similar to this years ago and finally this solved.

contact a PS agency to get quote for migration to PrestaShop, they should (my agency for example) can migrate all existing data, build front end (public facing) based off existing design....to do it yourself, then download latest stable PS, install on server in a test domain.... review addons migration module, to bring over wp data's, (it won't migrate theme/design/or 3rd party plugin and their datas.) https://addons.prestashop.com/en/search?search_query=migration purchase a quality theme, configure theme like wp... purchase modules to support clients unique needs, payment methods for example...

catalog-->products-->edit a product-->pricing now you can specific price for the product....based on currency--country--group note: you will need to enable PS geo location or use 3rd party module like our Geo Targeting Pro that allows one to use commercial maxmind ip data (very accurate)

for different page types, index, category, product etc. view source of each page, find .js and .css CCC'ed files, note their name and see if same across pages.

admin-->performance ensure smarty cache enabled, for example same page these are default settings that should be enabled for .js and .css Smart Cache, these are only useful when the CCC file of the .js and .css are the same across all page types, index,category,product...if they are not the same then turn them off. beware of 'cache' or 'superspeed modules', they can create more issues than they solve.

see here how to configure PS to localize lang on http browser language when testing, open in incognito browser window so cookies are new...note: if you have tab also opened in same incognito it will use previous cookie just to toot my own horn we have a different solution for multishop, written for 1.4 (back before electricity), works perfectly for shops that will share catalog/customers...but want each shop to have different core defaults, name, contact info, default currency/language. https://prestaheroes.com/products/prestashop-multistore-multishop-pro?variant=41091628859599

You can disable stock management in PS backend > configure > shop parameters > product settings > products stock > enable stock management > change to off.

how are you trying to back up your mysql db? at hosting or some module. if module, then use hosting to do perform backup

what is you only have certain number of keys? you cannot imagine all the different environments that are out there with virtual. I have client that has keys, but only x amount...so they need inventory count.

1. yes PrestaShop sells modules that can destroy a persons hard work. PS does not do hard work, community tested.... 2. to migrate manually is expert level, there are solutions, https://addons.prestashop.com/en/data-migration-backup/8934-migrationpro-prestashop-upgrade-and-migration.html google for prestashop to prestashop migration. best advice? post in job offers or contact someone that has been helpful here in the past. I cannot imagine that fixing this by experienced tech be very difficult so you would not need to start over again. also for sole proprietors, there are better alternate ecommerce platforms.
