Add to cart butto hidden

I just picked this product as an example:
https://www.body-jewelry.co.uk/shop/arang-crocodile-wood-flared-tunnel/
The form.variations_form.cart tag contains the variation parameters but the product-is-visible (enabled) parameter is absent for each variation. Is “enabled” set in the relevant admin page?

Presumably the backup did not include the product that started the problem? If so, the product addition is not relevant. What else has changed. Have any plugins been updated. Has the host changed anything.

Consider turning off the cache while debugging so you can be sure you are looking at the latest version of pages.

As the site doesn’t work anyway, it might be a good time to update everything and take advantage of the many intervening bug fixes.

Hi lorro – many thanks for replying
As far as I can determine, nothing has changed since the client tried to add a variable product – I know for certain that the site was working perfectly last week and the client trying to add a product is the only thing I can think of that might be the cause
yes, backup predates client’s attempt to add product
site is hosted on media temple – I have other wordpress sites on the same host, no other woocommerce sites, but again, AFAIK nothing has changed. waiting to hear back from them re any changes
Checked 20 or so products (including the one you looked at) and all are enabled
As to the wordpress/woocommerce updates – agreed – the only reason I haven’t is every update causes issues…
site does still work – if you scroll down the page a bit there is a variations table (ignitewoo premium plugin) with a working add to cart button
like I said – it seems to be a javascript problem and debugging js is really not my specialty
thanks again for looking ??

The javascript gets its variations data by parsing the form.variations_form.cart tag. If the data is not complete, as on the example product, then the javascript can’t be blamed.

In the markup snippets below, the upper one is from another working site, the lower one from the sample product. Note the variation_is_visible and is_purchasable parameters are missing. They should be between the variations_id and the attributes parameters.

<form class="variations_form cart" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" data-product_id="1569" data-product_variations="[{&quot;variation_id&quot;:3144,&quot;variation_is_visible&quot;:true,&quot;is_purchasable&quot;:true,&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;attribute_pa_terminals&quot;:&quot;solder-tabs&quot;}.....

<form class="variations_form cart" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" data-product_id="6047" data-product_variations="[{&quot;variation_id&quot;:&quot;6048&quot;,&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;attribute_pa_diameter&quot;:&quot;10mm&quot;}.....

Try unsetting, saving and resetting and saving the enabled checkbox, and try a new product. Do the missing parameters now appear in the markup?

Probably the next thing to do would be to deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce. If the problem resolves, reactivate one-by-one to try to find the one that is conflicting.

Regarding updating, if it goes pear shaped you have the backup, and there don’t seem to be many options left.

Thanks again – I’m going to be deactivating/reactivating the plugins overnight tonight to see if it’s one of them that’s causing the problem
Otherwise, yes it looks like I’ll have to go for the updates and hope that sorts it out
It seems like a lot of different things can cause this same problem of the main add to cart button not displaying when it should – maybe woo need to rethink this approach of hiding the button by default on variable products until the attributes are chosen
A possibly simpler solution would be to have the button always showing and to highlight unchosen attribute fields when the user clicks?

UPDATE: problem sorted – it was caused by a social media plugin which had apparently updated itself – either that or facebook/twitter have changed something drastically in the last few days.
Anyway, disabling all the plugins and then reactivating them one by one was the way to go (if anyone else is having the same problem) this problem almost always seems to be caused by a plugin conflict
Check it out

The variation_is_visible and is_purchasable parameters are still missing from the markup, though the variable products are now working as you say. I will need to rethink how it works…

Be aware that we have the “Variations table” plugin from ignitewoo running on the site and this may affect how these parameters are generated, not sure

Really appreciate that you took the time to look at this for me, lorro

Thanks ??
