ok i know why and how to fix it. just cannot know how you managed to do it. in a nutshell

– problem: your category count for wppizza categories is wrong (it shows 1 or more when there are no items assigned to it in places )

– cause: how that happened i cannot know as we cannot go back in time to find out what was clicked when and where which resulted in the category count to be messed up. this might have been by something in WPML, in WPPizza, in something completely different or a combination of things. i really have no idea

– fix (from what i can ascertain doing this on my local copy of your site): you already have a plugin installed called “Fix Category Count” (which makes me believe you had this or a related issue before perhaps ?) this plugin however has a coding bug which can easily be fixed. in inc/fix_category_count_admin_view.php on approx line 46 you will find
<? } ?> replace/amend so it reads <?php } ?>.
once you have done that , go to “fix now” for that plugin from the plugin page, select “wppizza” in the subsequent page and then click on “fix categories now” .
doing this here as described above makes it all behave as it should again……
let me know what the outcome is on your install (should be safe to do, but making a backup before is never a bad idea)

but from what i can make out , your “Main Dish” (as an example) only has menu items in your main language, not in your translations (or am i wrong ?)

i think (I’m reasonably certain in fact) this might have to do with wppizza not accounting for WPML implementations when I added that option i talked about earlier in this thread
let me check and fix this . you dont have to do anything

just a few things first of all:
—-
(you didn’t provide the actual file, but *assuming* we are talking about class.wppizza.widgets.php and wppizza version 3.1.1)
“Can’t use function return value in write context … line 217 ” is simply impossible as line 217 is completely empty in 3.1.1

(however, that was an issue with 3.1 on that line when using old versions of php which was subsequently fixed in 3.1.1)

—-
cart icon: you can simply turn this off in wppizza -> layout – though i agree with you that this should/could probably be automatically omitted if online orders are disabled .

—–
>Some of the layout parameters where switched
sorry, but i do not know which parameters you are referring to (in fact, was this actually an update from wppizza 2.x perhaps ?)

—
appetizers/category (http://larosametuchen.com/our-menu/appetizers/) :
try wppizza version 3.1.2 (i’ll spare you th edetails why this might alleviate your problems )

should be fixed as of 3.1.1

>3. Wp Pizza System sends the order mail at 19:16 (nearly an hour later)
that happens if paypal does not send the notification to the server in a timely manner or the server itself does not respond/accept that notification (or perhaps th eemail server “sits on it” for a while)
there’s nothing i can do I’m afraid (paypal DOES sometimes have a delay of this sort, but not too often)

all gateway updates will still work with the old versions of wppizza (essentially the coding for the old versions have stayed the same, but if you are using wppizza 3.x the new coding will be used so to speak)

re empty categories:
if memory serves me right there was actually a/some reason why it shows “no results” in v3 instead of it being not shown at all.
that said, as i cannot really remember what the thinking was behind it, i will add an option in the layout settings that will be enabled by default, but can be disabled again if needs be, to the next update of the plugin which will not show empty categories (as that kind of makes sense to me too)

re placeholder image:
the classes are pretty much the same. but it’s not using an image but a font/content, so you’ll have to override the .wppizza-article-image-placeholder:before pseudo selector

date format : controlled by wordpress (wp-admin/options-general.php)

the rest , look again. i can assure you its there
