Cannot add any products to cart after WordPress 4.5 update

    WordPress automatically updated to 4.5 the other night and a customer just informed me that the site no longer works – I checked and it’s impossible to add any products to the cart, it says:

    “Please choose product options…”

    Even when options are chosen. However, when options are chosen no price is shown.

    Has anyone else experienced this? I’m going to work hard to fix it but I’m losing money as we speak so any help is GREATLY appreciated!

    More info:

    When I check a product on the admin panel I also cannot see any of the variations, even though it says how many there are.

    I’m going to try resetting a product – I’ll delete all variations, change back to a simple product, add the variations back and re-do the prices to see if that fixes it. If so I’ll post here in case someone else has the same problem after the 4.5 update. It’ll be tedious to re-do the prices on every single product I have, but hopefully that works.

    Ok, more information: When I go to a product I cannot do anything with the variations – When I select any options from the drop-down menu (such as “delete all variations”, or “Set regular prices”), nothing happens when I click “Ok”. So my idea of deleting the variations and redoing them won’t work. I tried resetting a product to “Simple Product” and then back to “Variable Product” (clicking Update between the changes), but that didn’t remove the variations or change anything.

    I had another thought – to add a new product. But that is also broken. When I try to add any product attributes, the “Add” button does the same thing as the “Ok” button in the variations – AKA nothing.

    Now I’m stumped for the moment, but I’ll continue to google. If I uninstall and reinstall woocommerce would that delete my products? I imagine they’re safely stored in the database but I’d like to be sure.

    More symptoms! When I go to my order list in woocommerce, under the “Purchased” column it shows how many items were purchased. Normally I can click this and it will show the items that were ordered – right now it also does nothing. Also, when I go to edit a page, clicking the “text” button to switch to text from visual editing does nothing. So it might be a general javascript issue of some kind? Should I be contacting bluehost? Seems like it’s not a woocommerce issue after all.

    Fixed! I got on the live chat with bluehost and they replaced the wordpress core files. After that I reloaded the admin page and it prompted me to rebuild the database. Now the site seems fully functional!

    I also experienced problems between WP 4.5 and woocommerce. Particularly, the images of the products pages did not show up. I had to revert back to WP 4.4.2 to make my site work again.

    The same happened to me Musiphilos! I upgrade to WordPress 4.5 and lost all my products on the Shop page. I reverted back to the earlier version and got everything back! I still don’t know what the issue is though!

    So my fix turned out to be reverting to WP 4.4.2… given that I’d prefer to be up-to-date that’s not ideal. But I got it working with WP 4.5, here’s how:

    In my case it was the issue of WP4.5 updating jQuery, which changed the syntax jQuery accepts, jada jada. Here’s my suggestion to fix it:

    1) Update your plugins, every plugin. uninstall any old ones hanging around that you don’t use
    2) Update your theme if it’s not custom
    3) Download a copy of your public_html folder to your computer if you don’t have one already
    4) Search through that for any files containing the phrase a[href*=#
    5) Replace those with the syntax a[href*=”#” – so just add quotes around the hash mark

    Updating my plugins fixed a lot of my issues but not all of them. When I searched I found a couple copies of the old syntax in my theme and replaced them. So far that seems to have fixed everything.

    Looks like I have the same problem, what a pain, will give the above solution a try

    I had the exact same issues mentionned above.
    Thank you nicksmolinske for the solution.
    For me, it was this script for smooth scrooling that had the incorrect syntax :
    // Crédit : Bill Erickson – WordPress Developer
    // Source : https://www.billerickson.net/code/smooth-scrolling-anchor-links/

    I just put the quotes, and everything is now OK.

    The same happened to me Davidzupec! I upgrade to WordPress 4.5 and lost all my products on the Shop page. I try to revert back to WordPress 4.4.2 but I have not succeeded. Can someone tell me how?
