Cart adding/doubling products on reload

  • Hi
    For some time now the cart is doubling up or adding random amounts of products. It happens in almost every 4 orders, and sometimes causing people to angrily stop buying with us. Fx. people put 2 of something in the cart and during checkout suddenly it says 20. Needs caution and manual adjusting. We’re using latest update of both WP and WooCommerce.

  • Hi,
    Sounds like a potential module conflict. If you can reproduce the problem, try deactivating all plugins except woo and go to a default theme. test. if successful, add in 1 module at a time until the culprit is identified.

    Thank you ??
    I tried disabling all plugins and added them back on one by one…no luck finding a plugin causing it. So it must have to do with the theme. I didn’t switch to a standard theme since so many special features are set up, I was afraid of losing all the work …
    I guess I’m hoping Woothemes’ own tip from docs/woothemes applies:

    “Double add to cart issues
    Check your page source for any empty background-image (css) properties, or img and link tags with empty src/href attributes. These can cause pages to load multiple times.”

    Anyone knows how to do this? (actually I don’t really understand what to check for) THX ??

    Try putting your page url in this tool:

    And then I get hundreds of errors! What to look for?

    Search the analysis results page for “background-image”, “src=” and “href=”, and/or post the url to a relevant product.

    wow, 41 occurances of bg-image …
    so, I need to do something with it…eh, what? (I’m really sorry – I have no idea about this)

    w3schools explains the background-image property. Normally the url parameter has a value which is the link to the url for the image. If its empty, eg:

    background-image: url('');

    you have found a possible cause as suggested in the Woothemes docs. The solution depends on if and where you find this.

    If you can post the url to a relevant product page, others on here maybe able to have a look.

    BTW, ensure you have updated your theme, WooCommerce and WordPress to their latest versions. Best to take a backup if updating.

    Thank you – I will try to look into it ??

    Grafikbutik did you managed to fix this error?

    My store has been working fine for years and now started doubling up on cart quantities when I click ‘view cart’.
    I have done what Iorro suggested and found no empty background images or src / href attributes.

    No plugins have been added to my site for a long time.

    How can a website be working fine one minute then not the next?

    Hi KDadmin
    No, actually this was never solved. I think the theme I was using, is really the problem …
    But we did make a workaround on it – by adding a plugin called Menu Cart. Then the plugin took over the counting – no problems ever since. But a weird and not very correct solution, I know.

    I know that many people have huge problems after updating to the latest Woocommerce. It breaks the themes …(unless it’s from Woothemes)

    Thanks Grafikbutik.

    My issue was slightly different in that cart quantities doubled instead of going up by 20, and it was every order instead of every 4 or so. Some customers advised it had been happening for a while and I was unaware ??

    I ended up doing a fix in woocommerce-functions.php this morning based on some coding I found after searching for fixes and it’s working now.

    I’ll put it here in case it helps others:
