Add to Cart button does not pop up the shopping cart

    This used to work perfectly until…I don’t when, but recently, I think. When you click on the Add to Cart button, there is no visual cue that anything happened. Iow, the Shopping Cart does not pop up on the bottom of the page as it used to, nor does it fill with the item added to cart UNTIL you go to “Edit Cart” or refresh the page. Then when you go to the Shopping Cart (or refresh the page), the item is there. But it’s very counterintuitive for my users; they think the Add to Cart is not doing anything.

    I’ve deactivated every other plugin and switched to one of the WordPress Twenty-something themes; I’ve upgraded everything, including now the new version of WordPress; I’ve reinstalled an old version of eShop that I was pretty sure did work, and I still can’t get the Add to Cart button to show any change when clicked.

    I’ve tried it in the 5 major browsers; same problem.

    Any ideas about what to try next? Has anyone else encountered this?

    I’m on a shared server on HostGator, and my site is: https://marilynfenn.com/shop/

    Thanks in advance if there’s any tips you can give me!

    P.S. Currently, I have everything set back up the way I normally do, except I haven’t re-updated eShop from 6.3.9 to 6.3.11.

    OK, I’ve been chasing this down. Updated eShop again to current version; no change. Re-uploaded an even older version: still no change, so I updated it to the current version again.

    Created a new test site with a fresh install of both WordPress and eShop, switched to the 2012 theme, added some products, set all eShop settings as I have them on my real site.

    The good news (for y’all; bad news for me) is that now when I click the “Add to cart” button, a little “Added” shows up for a moment. So I think I can conclude that this problem has to do with either my theme or my very complex site set-up.

    However, the Cart widget in the sidebar does not pop-up when I Add to Cart or update when I add a second item to cart, no matter how I set the widget settings, though the changes will be reflected in the cart widget if I refresh the page or go to the Shopping Cart page.

    The new test site is here, if you care to look: https://pixelwranglers.com/test/

    Sigh…on to more debugging.

    There is no “pop up” in the plugin. What you have described here is exactly the way in which the plugin is supposed to work.

    It’s not meant to.

    Thanks so much, esmi. I have pretty much decided the problem I’m having getting the “Added” to appear is theme related. So, on to design a new theme.

    Too bad about the Cart widget not popping up by design. It did used to, and it was very cool. I miss it.

    Anyway, thanks for getting back to me! I appreciate your time, and love eShop compared to the other shopping carts I’ve tried. I hope to make a donation to eShop; just waiting for the first successful sale made using your lovely software.

    Thank you for your nice comments. A review of the plugin would also be very much appreciated. ??
