Proceed to Checkout Button is back

to further clarify, yes the above code is applied to the functions.php file in a child them and still exists.

to clarify EVEN further…
upon closer inspection, I can see the paypal express button-box class added into the wc-proceed-to-checkout class like it should be. However, there is an additional line of code calling the proceed to checkout button that is causing it to sit on top of yours. See the below screenshot:
HERE (before)
If I temporarily delete that one line of code from inspection, the default button is removed displaying the paypal express button underneath. See the below screenshot:
HERE (after)
The second is ideal as it simply bypasses the checkout page altogether. I just don’t know how to remove that code permanently. Again, I do have the remove action call on the woo button but it doesn’t seem to be having any affect on it.

There could be an issue with the update, however, I haven’t had any other complaints so far. I’ll have to take a look and see if I can reproduce the problem. I won’t be able to focus on it until later tonight, though.

I’ll take a look as soon as I can and let you know what I find.

mfrethy,

I have the same issue with my site. I have PayPal express as my own payment method. Now, the Express button cannot be displayed.

So, where should I apply the code you described?
remove_action( ‘woocommerce_proceed_to_checkout’, ‘woocommerce_button_proceed_to_checkout’, 10);

Many thanks.

Have you all checked to see if the button is still there but hidden under the Proceed to Checkout button, by chance? I have noticed that on a few themes lately.

Yes, in my initial post I stated that this was exactly the case. The button is underneath the proceed to checkout button which used to not be there. Now it’s back and I can’t get rid of it. I’ve tried with the added piece of code mentioned which worked to override the theme’s button before. But at some point right around when WP had the automatic security update the theme’s button popped back in. I’ve tried everything to get rid of it manually. The plugin is no longer overriding the theme.

Yes, WooCommerce made quite a few changes to the checkout button functionality that we’ve had to adjust for. We’ve gotten that done in our dev branch, but unfortunately we’ve been a little delayed with some other updates that are keeping me for getting that released.

You should be able to either hide that button or at least move the PayPal buttons down so that they are viewable in the mean-time via your child theme. If you post your site URL I’ll take a look and see if I can tell you what to change to get that done.

Yea I am in the same situation as the people above. I only use PayPal Express so it does not ever make sense to ever have people enter in the shipping and billing address into my website since they can just head over to PayPal and ‘skip the forms”\’. I basically need to hide those fields with some kind of code. Any suggestions?

@mfrethy, I see you’re using the Divi theme, which is a great theme and it’s the same one I use on my site. It does have some funky things going on with his its cart buttons sometimes, though.

In your case, you have a couple of options to fix it. You could adjust the Proceed to Checkout button so that it doesn’t stretch across the entire width of that area on the page, and then it wouldn’t cover up the button. To do that you could add the following rule to your child theme’s style.css file:

.woocommerce-cart .wc-proceed-to-checkout a.checkout-button {
  display: inline;
}

That would result in what you see here.

Another option would be to simply push the PayPal buttons down so they’re no longer covered up. You could do that by adding this rule to your child theme:

.paypal_box_button {
    margin-top:60px;
}

That would result in what you see here.

@techmann,

Is Express Checkout the only gateway you have enabled in your system right now? If so, it should be skipping the checkout page altogether. Please check to see if you have any other gateways showing, and also make sure you don’t have EC set to be displayed in the regular list of payment gateways that WooCommerce provides.

Yes Express checkout is the only enabled method. I had EC set to be displayed in the regular list of payment gateways because otherwise people will still use the proceed to checkout button on the cart page and when they get to the checkout page they see the following message which prevents them from placing the order “Sorry, it seems that there are no available payment methods for your state. Please contact us if you require assistance or wish to make alternate arrangements.” Also, all the address fields are still there so this is confusing to customers. If you would like to see what I mean here is the website.

I think you’re just running into the issues that were raised when WC adjusted the way the checkout button works in the latest updates.

We’re going to get that fixed, but in the mean-time you could just set visibility: hidden on the checkout button in your child theme and that will get rid of the checkout button.

Are you familiar with doing that sort of thing? I was able to get it hidden in with Chrome Inspector very easily, but the style just needs to be applied to your theme.

All fixed. Thank you for the suggestion. I edited your posted code slightly so that it just doesn’t show the button at all (rather than inline). Now the only button showing on my cart page is the paypal express button which I set to be a text button (rather than the Paypal image) and set the text to Proceed to Paypal Express. The button picks up the themes css nicely and looks like it completely belongs. Again, thank you. Nice plugin. Here’s the code that I pasted into my theme’s custom CSS area (but could also be entered into the child theme’s style.css):

.woocommerce-cart .wc-proceed-to-checkout a.checkout-button {
  display: none;
}
