Remove Add to Cart Buttons from Product Page

LoLaEliz,
I’m not sure understand you, I’m french and my english is no good !
But have you a link of the website?
You want to delete the button “add to cart” just do it?

Hi Michael,

Here is the link https://LOLAcaninecouture.com

click “add to cart” — you will see it returns to the homepage. I want no “add to cart” here, but yes on the individual product page. I want to sell, but I don’t want “add to cart” to work from the homepage. Because it can’t work there — every item has variations. You need to go to the product page to order.

Someone above said to put this code in the functions file. It looks logical, like it will do what I want. I don’t know if it needs to be in a special place in that file. Can I just put it as the last item in that file?

thank you so much!
Lola

function remove_loop_button(){
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10 );
}
add_action('init','remove_loop_button');

Maybe in the template file if there is one for the homepage you can find the add to cart button and remove it. Look for class=”add_btn” or something like an href=”/?add-to-cart=nnnn” where nnnn is the product-id,

But you also need to find a way to add it to the individual product pages, because right now it isn’t there.

I clicked a bunch of add to cart buttons on the home page and there was nothing in my cart.
And when I go to the product pages I can pick variations but can’t find a way to add them to my cart.

If you choose your variations, you get an add to cart button on the products page.

The ADD TO CART on the homepage is completely functionless. That’s why I want to remove it.

This is the only ADD TO CART code I found in the home file:

<a class="add_btn" href="<?php echo $_product->add_to_cart_url(); ?>"><?php _e("Add To Cart", 'organicthemes'); ?></a>
		                	<?php } else { ?>
		                		<a class="add_btn" href="<?php echo $product->add_to_cart_url(); ?>"><?php _e("Add To Cart", 'organicthemes'); ?></a>

THANK YOU!!!!
Lola

(I tried that piece of code someone above mentioned and it crashed things so I took it out.)

Here is the woo commerce add-to-cart php. It’s probably not smart to mess with that, but it looks like this is where the loop is set up, and how it’s set up:

<?php
/**
 * Loop Add to Cart
 *
 * @author 		WooThemes
 * @package 	WooCommerce/Templates
 * @version     1.6.4
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) exit; // Exit if accessed directly

global $product;
?>

<?php if ( ! $product->is_in_stock() ) : ?>

	<a href="<?php echo apply_filters( 'out_of_stock_add_to_cart_url', get_permalink( $product->id ) ); ?>" class="button"><?php echo apply_filters( 'out_of_stock_add_to_cart_text', __( 'Read More', 'woocommerce' ) ); ?></a>

<?php else : ?>

	<?php
		$link = array(
			'url'   => '',
			'label' => '',
			'class' => ''
		);

		$handler = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_handler', $product->product_type, $product );

		switch ( $handler ) {
			case "variable" :
				$link['url'] 	= apply_filters( 'variable_add_to_cart_url', get_permalink( $product->id ) );
				$link['label'] 	= apply_filters( 'variable_add_to_cart_text', __( 'Select options', 'woocommerce' ) );
			break;
			case "grouped" :
				$link['url'] 	= apply_filters( 'grouped_add_to_cart_url', get_permalink( $product->id ) );
				$link['label'] 	= apply_filters( 'grouped_add_to_cart_text', __( 'View options', 'woocommerce' ) );
			break;
			case "external" :
				$link['url'] 	= apply_filters( 'external_add_to_cart_url', get_permalink( $product->id ) );
				$link['label'] 	= apply_filters( 'external_add_to_cart_text', __( 'Read More', 'woocommerce' ) );
			break;
			default :
				if ( $product->is_purchasable() ) {
					$link['url'] 	= apply_filters( 'add_to_cart_url', esc_url( $product->add_to_cart_url() ) );
					$link['label'] 	= apply_filters( 'add_to_cart_text', __( 'Add to cart', 'woocommerce' ) );
					$link['class']  = apply_filters( 'add_to_cart_class', 'add_to_cart_button' );
				} else {
					$link['url'] 	= apply_filters( 'not_purchasable_url', get_permalink( $product->id ) );
					$link['label'] 	= apply_filters( 'not_purchasable_text', __( 'Read More', 'woocommerce' ) );
				}
			break;
		}

		echo apply_filters( 'woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link', sprintf('<a href="%s" rel="nofollow" data-product_id="%s" data-product_sku="%s" class="%s button product_type_%s">%s</a>', esc_url( $link['url'] ), esc_attr( $product->id ), esc_attr( $product->get_sku() ), esc_attr( $link['class'] ), esc_attr( $product->product_type ), esc_html( $link['label'] ) ), $product, $link );

	?>

<?php endif; ?>

try commenting out or removing that add_btn section on the homepage.
Without seeing more of the code it’s hard to tell if there’s more to be removed or not.

Thanks, everyone. I’m giving up on this fix. I don’t know enough about altering code to not break the site. (the plugin did not effect the home page, just the “shop” page, which didn’t have an add to cart button. I’m guessing the Organicstheme somehow overrides the woocommerce settings.

I have been looking for a similar solution today, and come across the following (yet to test it) but thought it may be of interest.

Mickael I [bad language removed] LOVE you!!! I’ve been looking for this solution for days and I just run into your code. Thank you very much!!!!

@ Helga and James Koster: You people ROCK! These fixes worked an absolute treat. Kudos!

Hi,

I wanted to hide the add to cart buttons in Woocommerce so I created a custom plugin and added the following code to it:

function remove_loop_button(){
remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_template_single_add_to_cart', 30 );
}
add_action('init','remove_loop_button');

It worked, but I changed my mind so I deleted the code from the plugin file and yet the buttons are still gone.

Since then I have deleted the custom plugin, deleted and reinstalled woo commerce plugin, deleted and reinstalled my theme and restarted my server.

Nothing has worked.

Any ideas?
