Add to cart url shortcode not working after item removed from cart

    I’m using [add_to_cart_url id=”99″] in order to get a product add to cart url so I can manually make a button. The result is a url such as:

    /page-title/?add-to-cart=25

    Which clicked, it successfully loads the cart page with the product added in the cart. However, if I remove the item from the cart, then go back to the page where by custom url button is and I click it one more time to add it again, I just get to the cart page and it says “no items in cart.”

    This only happens with the add to cart url shortcode. If I use the [add_to_cart id=”25″] shortcode it works fine even after removing the product from my cart and adding it again.

    Any ideas how to fix this or achieve what I’m trying to do? Thank you.

    Sounds like server side or WP based caching. You’ll need to exclude the cart page from any caching you have setup.

    I actually have no caching plugins or anything that my host is running. However, if I clear my browser cache it will work.

    Oddly, this only happens with the url shortcode. If I remove an item and go back to the real shop page (not my custom link page) it will add the item to the cart again no problem.

    I also noticed if I I change the url to be ../checkout/?add-to-cart=25 it will work every time. It’s only when the path is a different page that it adds it once, and then on removal and adding again it says the cart is empty. So for now I’ll just use it with the /checkout/ path.

    It look the plugin author don’t have a oslution for this? I got the same issue. Using the shortcode provided by the author dont work. I got “go direct to cart page” after ad to cart.

    Also the ID of the variation is not working.

    Sad.

    Having same issue and same result when using the authors add to cart shortcode
    No caching in place either

    [add_to_cart id=”23″] result /pagetitle/?add-to-cart=23
