WooCommerce Cart – No error message is displayed outside the shipping area

Ive created Admin Login for you

Hey Rose, thank you for the quick response.

It installed the Storefront in the Staging Environment, but the issue is still there.

You can see it under my staging site.
Login is provided here.

Hey Rose, I think it has to do with your theme.

I had a not patched Version Website of the WooCommerce fix.
With an “old” shipping-cart.php file.

Here is the File:

<?php
/**
 * Shipping Methods Display
 *
 * In 2.1 we show methods per package. This allows for multiple methods per order if so desired.
 *
 * This template can be overridden by copying it to yourtheme/woocommerce/cart/cart-shipping.php.
 *
 * HOWEVER, on occasion WooCommerce will need to update template files and you
 * (the theme developer) will need to copy the new files to your theme to
 * maintain compatibility. We try to do this as little as possible, but it does
 * happen. When this occurs the version of the template file will be bumped and
 * the readme will list any important changes.
 *
 * @see https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/template-structure/
 * @package WooCommerce/Templates
 * @version 7.3.0

On the Second, my Live and Staging Page have a different “cart-shipping.php”

And this is the allegedly fixed Version of the shipping-cart.php file:

<?php
