[Plugin: Simple Cart & Buy Now] Checkout/Process Page Url

Are you using a caching plugin (wp super cache for example)? They tend to use a cached (old) version of the (empty) shopping cart instead of the current one. I’ve tried adding excluded to the checkout page but I still get weird behaviour some of the time. So for now, I think you have disable the caching plugin. I’m looking to fix this, but don’t know how right now.

I’m having the same problem and I’m not using a caching plugin. Also, amounts for options are not being added to the base price. Thank you in advance for your help!!

If it isn’t some kind of site caching, I don’t know why the widget shopping cart would show items being added, but not on the main checkout page. If you add an item and go to some other page, do you still see the item in the mini (widget) shopping cart? Basically, does the cart stay with you across different pages and disappear when you go to checkout, or does it always disappear when you go to a new page.

When you say options are not being added to the base price — can you post your [scabn ….] code for the add to cart button? You should be able to have each option have its own price (independent price, not additional cost).

The cart does NOT stay across different pages (I thought it was just the checkout page, but you’re right). So, when you go to a new page, everything disappears. Here’s what I have for the [scabn…] code for the page in question:

[scabn name=”CGC Cannonball” price=”378.00″ b_title=”Add To Cart”]

The checkout page code is:
[scabn]

Thanks for your help.

bigdesus — if I’m understanding what you want correctly, you should have the line look like:

[scabn name=”Cannonball” options_name=”Type” options=”CGC:50,Super:65,Midevill:85″ qty_field = “true” b_title=”Add To Cart”]

and this will give on item ‘Cannonball’ with 3 options, with each option having a different price.

I don’t know why the cart is not staying across pages. Really sounds like a caching issue of some kind. Can you try disabling other plugins and seeing if that fixes it. My guess is that there is some incompatibility with a plugin. Also, you are using WP 3.2 or 3.3, right? Or if you can try it on a clean WP install (no plugins) that may be helpful to debugging. I don’t know how it would matter, but try a different theme just for testing?

No, just the one price. Item name is “CGC Cannonball” and there’s no options – and no quantity.

I will try to disable the plugins and I’ll try with other themes and see what I find out. I’ll let you know…

Bigdesus — sorry the comment about the options / price and showing your code was for SuzieQue’s post.

One more thing to try: I only use items with quantity, so could you make sure item(s) have a quantity for testing — maybe I introduced a bug with items without quantities and didn’t catch it as I don’t use it.

If that doesn’t fix it, try disabling plugins.

So, I disabled a plugin called ‘flickpress’ and it seems to work like a charm. Thanks for all your help.

Glad it is working. I don’t know why flickpress would conflict, but so it is. If you learn anything about why they conflict let me know and I’ll see if I can fix that on scabn’s end.
