Multisite redirections

    Dear developer,

    I am using a multisite (multiple languages) setup with woocommerce installed throughout the entire website. Both Dutch version and UK version currently have a menucart button in the header menu. When I add a product to my cart (for example on the Dutch page) and later switch to an other language version of the website, then the language-settings, the contents and the link to the dutch webshop are being transferred to the UK website.

    For example, I want to buy something from the Dutch webshop and use “add to cart” function in woocommerce. The cart-menu-plugin updates in the menubar and tells me I have 1 artikel (item) in my shoppingcart. Now I want to read a translation of a random post in English, so I use the header-menu-option “to the UK website” (uses flag icons as seen on many websites). This link (target=”_blank”) opens in a new tab and displays the UK version of the same website. Somehow, I can now see a Dutch menu-cart in my UK menu bar. When I click it to view the contents, I am being transferred back to the Dutch Webshop.

    Strangely enough, when I ‘right-click and open-in-new-tab’ on the link “to the UK website” then the menucart language settings, webshop link and cart contents will be updated accordingly.

    Is there an option to prevent my Dutch shopping cart from being transferred and displayed on a UK version of the same site and vice versa?

    Why won’t it work with target=”_blank” and does it work when I manually load the UK translation of a page in a new tab?

    I will note that (advised by my hosting provider) I am using a varnish cash plugin.

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hello Rockitman,
    Thanks for contacting us about this issue.

    I’m afraid there is not much that I can do to help you (within the scope of this free plugin), especially because you’re running this in a complex setup with caching. On top of that, WooCommerce AJAX (the part responsible for live updating the cart) is quite persistent which could make things worse.

    That said, perhaps we can narrow down on the issue a bit more: You mentioned multisite, but also multiple languages – does that mean you’re using WPML, or is this a different kind of configuration?
    Is it just the menu cart that is transferred, or is it also the regular WooCommerce cart?

    Kind regards,
    Ewout

    Hi Ewout,

    Thanks for your reply. About the WPML, i am not using that plugin. I edit my site languages manually within WP settings and edit the translations using po and mo editors. I’m not sure that this is the information you were after.

    From what I have experienced, the menu-cart-button is being transferred between sites (cashed perhaps). For example, an item added to the UK-woocommerce cart is being transferred to the German website, as soon as I switch from the UK website to the German website (left-click on the German-flag-image with a normal href and target _blank in the header of the page, top-right-corner).

    This results in a English menu-cart (the button text is in English) with a link to the English woocommerce shopping cart, being displayed in the German header menu. And the other way around.

    When I add items to both woocommerce carts (UK and German version) and manually navigate to the shopping cart of either one (even when switching between sites along the way) in order to check the contents, then woocommerce appears to keep both carts unchanged.

    It appears (to me) that none of the content is being transferred, but that the link provided by the menu-cart-button is not being refreshed when switching between sites.

    What makes it even weirder is the fact that when I ‘right-click-and-open-in-new-tab’ on any of the flag-images that link to one of the other sites, this issue does not occur.

    I am using Google Chrome and must admit that I haven’t tried it with any other browser, not thinking it would be part of the issue.

    Your help is much appreciated.

    Hello Bart,
    That information does help, sort of. If I had to put my money on the most likely cause, I’d say it’s cache (ajax or server, or both…)
    Perhaps this will help? The suggestion given there for AJAX may just be what you need.

    Hi Ewout,

    Thanks for your reply. I have taken a look at the link you gave me. If I am successful, I will let you know.

    Thanks again.

    Bart,

    I had the same issue and resolved by :

    woocommerce/setting/add to cart/ disable AJAX add to cart buttons on archives.

    I just found it after reading this support. I remembered somethings about ajax in setting and tried this. It seems to work !

    Thanks to you & Ewout ??

    Thank you Philippe!

    Indeed it worked. No more AJAX functionality, but for now this is the best compromise I can manage. Thank you for suggesting it. It really helped me!
