Incorrect Wishlist Link. Not showing products at the correct link.

  • Hello,
    I have tried to install the plugin a few times thinking there was something not installed correctly but I could not solve it. I am interested in the premium plugin hence wanted to try out the free version first.

    1. When you install the plugin whether you click on the Wishlist icon in header or on Wishlist link on product page it would take you to https://example.com/wishlist/view/ instead of https://example.com/wishlist

    For some reason it is adding /view after/wishlist. Problem is products in wishlist are at the address https://example.com/wishlist. Obviously if you are taken to https://example.com/wishlist/view/ you will get to a 404 page.

    I have noticed in various demos and sites that use this plugin that sometimes Wishlist is indeed at https://example.com/wishlist/view/ But at the link with /wishlist/view/ sometimes different products show than at the link without view at /wishlist. On our products only show at /wishlist.

    2. If Cloudflare caching or any caching for that matter is used would you recommend to exclude https://example.com/wishlist from caching to bypass this page?

    Thank you.

    Adrian

    Hello Again,

    In addition I have noticed on our site as well as on your demo site https://live.yithemes.com/bazar that when you have added for example 7 or 8 or so items to your list only two items max are showing in your wishlist. But miraculously if you delete one of these two products from the wishlist all products you have previously added will all of the sudden appear in the wishlist.

    Is this some kind of a bug?

    Thank you.

    Hi Adrian

    /view is an endpoint, and won’t in any way affect wishlist view
    If you get 404 error on your page, all you have to do is to regenerate your permalinks, by visiting WP Dashboard -> Settings -> Permalinks, and saving your options as they are

    /view endpoint is used by the plugin to understand which wishlist should be retrieved.
    If nothig follows /view, current user default wishlist will be shown; otherwise, if an ID like HFU45D65BHJS ends the url, wishlist with that ID will be used in the template (this kind of urls are often used for wishlist sharing)

    Hope this helps you understand the utility of /view endpoint ??

    Regarding your second question, yes, I highly suggest to insert wishlist/ and wishlist/* in cache exceptions, as these pages will always print dynamic content

    Hope this helps
    Have a nice day ??

    Hi Adrian

    Hope my answer helped you solve the issue

    Regarding our live demo, you’re right, but this is not a plugin bug
    It is just a cache problem: wishlist page is cached, but when you remove items from the wishlist, you’ll view resulting list retrieved via ajax, and obviously it will contain updated data

    We will consider to add wishlist to cache exception, even if our lives are intended for exemplification purpose only

    Thank you for your report
    Have a nice day

    Hi,

    I have set both pages https://example.com/wishlist and https://example.com/wishlist/view/ to bypass cache completely. Still issue remains that products remain in the wishlist even after they are deleted. It takes a while for them to disappear but time frame is not consistent.

    Also products deleted from wishlist may disappear at different times from https://example.com/wishlist and https://example.com/wishlist/view/ For example while https://example.com/wishlist is empty https://example.com/wishlist/view/ may still be showing products.

    Would love to use the premium plugin with extended functionality hence testing out this version but I cannot seem to solve the caching part. We use CloudFlare for caching and have a rule to bypass caching for both of these pages.

    If you have any ideas please let me know.

    Best,
    Adrian

    Hi again Adrian

    This seems some sort of cache problem
    Could you please to add a wildcard for all wishlist pages

    wishlist
    wishlist*

    and empty your cache once again?
    I’m not sure why your rules aren’t correctly excluding wishlist page from cache (they seem fine to me)

    Anyway, the behaviour you’re describing is so similar to a classic cache problem that I would investigate further in this direction

    Please, let me know
    Have a nice day
