    hi woocommerce, there is a nagging problem with product listings, on the shop, catalogue, homepage and any areas which show product listings, ALL EXCEPT the product page itself, there is always a button below each entry that says add to cart. however this button doesn’t really add anything to cart, nor allow user to select variations to add, it simply takes user straight to the product page.

    is there a way to disable this button, or change its functionality so it actually does add to cart, or maybe rename it? i have a plugin called find and replace which allows to override any text/phrase on the page to change to something else, however this can only be used for a unique phrase, because there is also another add to cart button on the product page which actually adds to cart, doing this will cause conflict and confusion.

    pls advise thanks!

    Hi @ckwang

    The issue you’re experiencing where the Add to Cart button redirects to the product page instead of adding the item directly to the cart is typically the default behavior for products with variations. This is because the system needs the customer to specify which variation they want before the product can be added to the cart.

    To allow customers to add products directly from the product listings, you need to ensure the products don’t have variations. Alternatively, you can use a plugin like Ajax Add to Cart for WooCommerce, which allows customers to select variations from the product listing page itself.

    Regarding the renaming of the button, unfortunately, using the Find and Replace plugin may not work as you have rightly pointed out. However, you can achieve this by adding a small snippet of code or by using a plugin like Add to Cart Button Custom Text, Customizer for WooCommerce or StoreCustomizer, which allows you to customize button texts among other things.

    I hope this helps. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to ask.

    Hi Shameem. I’ve decided to just remove the button completely for simplicity sakes. I’ve found from woocommerce support post archives this below snippet to do that. It successfully removed the button from shop category pages but not on the homepage where woocommerce blocks are used. Can you help with that? Existing code is below thx.

    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'remove_add_to_cart_buttons', 1 );

    function remove_add_to_cart_buttons() {
      if( is_product_category() || is_shop()) { 
        remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart' );
      }
    }
