WooCommerce shipping methods not working for logged-in users?

I have developed a custom build on woocommerce.

All is fine except for the checkout page.

The site ships to UK only, and i have Flat Rate shipping enabled.

However, on the checkout page there are two issues. The first is an invalid argument in a foreach loop:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/****/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-shipping.php on line 291

And the second problem is:

There doesn‘t seem to be any available shipping methods. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help.

I am bashing my head against a wall here. I have a shipping method enabled, so why is it continuing to tell me there is no method available?

All i want it to do there is simply list all the shipping methods i have enabled so the user can select one.

I also noticed that the shipping methods display when user is not logged in, but when they are logged in it shows Flat Rate - then a random price that isn't entered anywhere in admin.

To elaborate a little. This problem does not occur if i add a variable product to the art using the ?add-to-cart url, but as soon as i use the add_to_cart function it causes those errors.

woocommerce->cart->add_to_cart(522,1, 523,array("attribute_colour" => "colour","attribute_size" => "a3", "attribute_invoice-numbering" => "yes", "attribute_quantity-column" => "yes", "attribute_cc-type" => "duplicate"));

The above code works fine if it is used in a URL, but i want to call it via ajax with the function.

Do you have any admin notices about out of date templates? or Do you still see this problem if you revert to Twenty Fourteen? I ask because this just reminds me of some errors I saw when updating WooCommerce once. Additionally, what version of WooCommerce are you using? - helgatheviking
I am using the latest version, and i have removed any custom templates in the theme and the problem still happens. It seems to think there are no shipping methods for some reason. - Glen
in fact it doesn't happen on twenty fourteen, i am wondering if it's down to the custom add to cart code in my own theme. - Glen
It seems as though cart->add_to_cart does this. When i use twenty fourteen it's fine. I wonder if i am somehow formatting the params wrong. Although it takes product id, variation id, variation attributes - should be fine - Glen
Right, well it worked for a bit on twenty 14, now it just produces the same problem with the shipping - Glen

  1. Go to woo commerce settings and add a shipping zone. See here.

  2. On existing products and when adding new products always ensure u set the shipping location. See here

I had a similar problem, I got that message even if Shipping Zones and Shipping Methods were configured correctly. I expected just one flat rate, no choices available. Doing more tests the bug disappeared when there were 2 or more methods available, it was weird. I found the issue in the theme template, the first control was a wrong:

if ( 1 < count( $available_methods ) ) :

instead of

if ( $available_methods ) :

Perhaps you have a bug in the theme template too. You can do a diff/compare between the original template (/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/cart/cart-shipping.php) and the custom file (/wp-content/themes/YOURTHEME/woocommerce/cart/cart-shipping.php)
