I just updated one of my shops to Hikashop version 6.4.1, coming from 6.3.0. Technically, the update went well, but after testing an order, it turns out that my shop does not work anymore.

Until the update, this always worked perfectly well, but now it does not anymore. When I select a size on the frontend, I get an errormessage as if I did not select a size yet, see the screenshot.

If needed, I can grant access tot he dev-site where I tested this, but I presume this can easily be tested on any environment.

Hi,

This is likely linked to major changes we made in HikaShop 6.4.0 a month ago, combined with old view overrides on your end:

Dear Nicolas, yes, that appears to be the issue. Removing the overrides fixes the issue indeed.
Thanks!
