WooCommerece Empty Cart “Browse Store”

Hi @najikarim,

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand you get a link “Browse Store” that is pointing to: “woo.local/shop” which does not lead to the Shop page.

Just curious, did you build your site from a local environment then moved it to a live server? The reason why I’m asking this is that it is possible the issue is with the link to the shop page not having been setup correctly.

As a first step, please try the following to see if it fixes this issue:

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Navigate to WooCommerce > Settings > Products > General > Shop Pages.
3. Under the ‘Shop Page’ section, ensure that the correct page is set as your shop page. If it’s not, select it from the dropdown menu.
4. Save changes and try again to see if the issue persists.

Let us know if this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for the response. Followed instructions and the “Shop page’ field was set to Shop.

I selected another link saved, and then Re-Selected Shop to see if this changes anything but still getting the broken link. Everything else seems to work except the noted link.

To answer your question The site was not moved.

Thanks for sharing further details on this @najikarim.

As a next step, please share with us your system status report, which you can find via WooCommerce > Status > Get system report > Copy for support.

Please be sure to include the site URL.

This way, we can investigate this issue further.

I changed to default theme to check if the issue is related to the theme I was using and noticed that under Default them I am not getting “Browse Store” link.

Another issue came up before moving to the Default them, also related to the Products (Shop Page).

When Clicking any of the products (not adding to cart) all the links are now broken. Same is true under the default theme.

Thanks for sharing the error log. After reviewing it, I can confirm that the shop base URL is set to /shop, which should be functioning as intended. The shop page itself is displaying correctly at this link.

However, it seems that the Browse Store text on your cart page links to https://woo.local/shop/, which may explain why it’s redirecting incorrectly. This could be due to a static link embedded in the text itself.

To verify, could you check if there’s a static paragraph block or similar text containing Browse Store in your Empty Cart Group Block? The Empty Cart Group Block should look something like this:

Additionally, please try re-saving your Permalink settings. You can do this by navigating to Settings > Permalinks in your dashboard and then clicking Save Changes (without making any actual changes to the settings). This action will flush the permalink cache, ensuring that any updates to the permalink structure are applied correctly

Please take a look, and let me know if adjusting this resolves the issue!
