  • Endless loading/spinner on the checkout page

    Endless loading/spinner on the checkout page

    After fiddling for quite some time, disabled and enabled plugins, looked at browser console for clues, I found the solution to be this CSS code:

    /* Fix issues with jquery overlay blocking checkout button */
    .woocommerce .blockUI.blockOverlay {
    position: relative!important;
    display: none!important;
    }

  • The DNS server 8.8.8.8 is not a valid IP address error

    The DNS server 8.8.8.8 is not a valid IP address error

    If you see this error:

    The DNS server 8.8.8.8 is not a valid IP address

    You probably have selected the IPv6 instead of IPv4 setting:

    IPv4 DNS servers could be 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

    While IPv6 in this case should be:

    • 2001:4860:4860::8888
    • 2001:4860:4860::8844
  • 404. That’s an error.

    404. That’s an error.

    When you encounter this error on Google:

    Here is how you solve it:

     

    METHOD 1

    This mostly happens when you have been logged into multiple Gmail accounts a the time.

    The easiest resolve for this I have found is to log out from all accounts and log in back with the account you want to use re-captcha with.

    Click on “admin console” button and you are in…

     

    METHOD 2

    Go to google.com, switch to the Gmail account you want to use, type “recaptcha” in the search box and click the “admin console” button…
