Hi,

a. Turn off the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting of the HikaShop configuration:
[ www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/5...html#display\_product](https://www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/54-hikashop-config.html#display_product)

b. and c. Your screenshots indicate that you have an old custom backend CSS.
Check the "Back-end CSS File" setting of the HikaShop configuration. Its probably not set to "default" which means that you must be using a custom CSS file based on an old version of HikaShop, without all the new CSS we've added since you've started customizing it.
Ideally, instead of modifying the CSS code of HikaShop, you could instead add your custom CSS to your template.
Usually, frontend templates allow for this, one way or another:
[ joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/3877/...tyles-in-my-template](https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/3877/how-do-i-override-the-css-styles-in-my-template)
And Joomla backend templates allow for this too since Joomla 3:
[ joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/...-css-isis-custom-css](https://joomla.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/how-to-customize-the-look-of-the-admin-isis-template-with-css-isis-custom-css)
That way, you'll keep your custom CSS when you update Joomla and your extensions and template, while you'll still get the new CSS of Joomla and the extensions and template.

Hello,
Thank you for tip

ad b,c
I restored backend and frontend CSSes to Default (yes it was 3.0.1 based, BTW is there way to check my chna them iges aginst stock 3.0.1 file so I would eventually apply if needed ?)
- Checkout order now looks good
- Order window look still look some weird/bulky - all button compressed on right and taking screen height.

ad.a Characteristcis for product
Now problem changed, independent of Characteristics dynamic display (default/No/Always)
characteristics are now not offered to change on Product page - not displayed at all
and when I'm adding characteristics for product I can't add one without default values - because Save button don't complete save.. button stays in pressed state and characteristics is not added do above list.

Hi,

b.c. That's the look with the filter options expanded. You can click on the "filter options" button to hide the filters area so that it doesn't take up any height.

a.
When trying to find a solution for the "please select" choice of the "Characteristics dynamic display" setting, you must have removed the characteristics of the product leading to the system deleting the variants of the product to match with the new situation of the product.
The characteristics selectors will only appear on the frontend once you've configured variants for your product, so you'll have to add back the characteristics and then the variants.

Once you select a characteristic, you need to select ONE default value. Then, click on the save button of the new characteristic area. This will then add the "variants" tab at the top of the product edit area where you can add variants for the different values of the characteristics of the products.
