Shortcode “purchase_link” no longer working correctly in version 2.7.5

    I use shortcode to display purchase button in a web page. The shortcod is copied from the product configuration page. It looks like:

    [purchase_link id=”505″ text=”Buy Now” style=”button” color=”blue”]

    Using this shortcode, the price and discount information will displayed on top of the button. The text on the button will be “Buy Now”. After updated to version 2.7.5, the button text becomes “Checkout” and the price and discount information disappeared. I tried to change various configuration and nothing will work. How I can get this shortcode to work as it is documented? Do I have to go back to old version to resolve this problem?

    @davidzhwang It sounds like the item is currently in your shopping cart. Go to the /checkout page, remove it, and then the button should show the way you expect it.

    Hi Pippin,
    Thank you very much for your quick response. The problem disappeared.
    I logged out and shutdown my machine, and come back about 4 hours later. Mysteriously everything is back to the way they should be. There is nothing in the shopping cart. I just want to see how the page with that shortcode looks like. I will do my best to reproduce the problem and see if I can find the reason.
