Title: plugin slows down backend, deprecated functions, no support Last modified: April 5, 2017 --- # plugin slows down backend, deprecated functions, no support * [timholz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timholz/) * (@timholz) * [9 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/) * Hi I updated Woocommerce to version 3.00 and noticed that table rate plus still uses deprecated function names. They produce notices and errors. The plugin also heavily slows down the backend. * Unfortunately the mangohour support is not available. Is mangohour still supporting it’customers or is this the end of table rate plus? theo - This topic was modified 9 years, 2 months ago by [timholz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timholz/).

I wrote to John, the developer, directly. But didn’t hear back from him. His site is down, too. So I came to this page and saw that there is no one responding to support tickets here as well. This is so disappointing. * [victoroem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/victoroem/) * (@victoroem) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9047434) * Looks like the developer closed off the company? * Developers name is John David Currie, he is from: 27 Old Gloucester Street WC1N 3AX London, England * If someone close by were able to meet with the guy… that would be great! I want to upgrade to WooCommerce 3.0 and this is the only thing holding me back. * Company is registered as: Heymax Software Ltd. * Not sure if it was closed? The last info is from the PDF with a document from the 6th of April (this month). * [https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09551928/filing-history](https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/09551928/filing-history) * This saved my day: /** *add_action( ‘admin_init’, ‘mh_wc_table_rate_plus_updater’, 0 ); */ * I was wondering why my update page was taking so long to load 🙂 * [bmhakans](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bmhakans/) * (@bmhakans) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9140118) * Ouch! This has really left me in a bind… * Does anyone know of a good replacement that is easy to implement? In my case it needs to work with a WPML translated store. * [idemcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idemcom/) * (@idemcom) * [8 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9223709) * I think this plugin is dead, the company no longer responds. Like you, I have encountered big problems because of the use of this plugin, since I deleted everything has returned to normal. * The question is, what plugin do you use to replace that of Mangohour ? * [Don.Current](https://wordpress.org/support/users/doncurrent/) * (@doncurrent) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9424392) * It appears that someone else has taken over the plugin and there is a $39 annual maintenance fee. I paid this and manually installed the downloaded plugin files I got in an email to my Tree Table Plugin Directory, and it took care of the issue. * [https://tablerateshipping.com/](https://tablerateshipping.com/) * [Maciej Swoboda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/swoboda/) * (@swoboda) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9457996) * Hi [@idemcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idemcom/), * Flexible Shipping is a great replacement for TRS by Mangohour. * Please check the free version here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexible-shipping/](https://wpde.sk/M) * We get a lot of positive feedback from people who were forced to stop using TRS by Mangohour. I think you will find it useful too. * Apart from that you will get a free limited support for the plugin in the plugin’s forum here on WP.org. * If you have any questions, let me know. * Disclaimer: I am the plugin author. * [idemcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/idemcom/) * (@idemcom) * [8 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9466694) * Thank you for your message. I’m actually trying Flexible shipping free version and it seems to be useful 😉 * [Vishal Kothari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashokrane/) * (@ashokrane) * [8 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9696427) * Hi All, * The fix for the warning (Warning: Declaration of MH_Table_Rate_Shipping_Method…. Error on line 55) is committed here: * [https://github.com/TycheSoftwares/woocommerce-table-rate-shipping](https://github.com/TycheSoftwares/woocommerce-table-rate-shipping) * Feel free to download the latest version from there & replace it with the current copy. * This will also fix the calculation on the Cart / Basket page. You should now be able to see the table rates from this plugin on the Cart / Basket page. * :Vishal - This reply was modified 8 years, 6 months ago by [Vishal Kothari](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashokrane/). * [bootle](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bootle/) * (@bootle) * [8 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-slows-down-backend-no-support/#post-9812892) * For the plus (paid for) version, the fix is very simple. Line 2162 should be changed from: * `public function calculate_shipping( $package ) {` * to * `public function calculate_shipping( $package = array() ) {` * Thanks to Vishal above – I simply diff’d his fix to the free version, to find the change, and applied same change to the plus version. Vishal has confirmed on another thread that this is the change.
