Thank you for the information!
Before I noticed the page editing issue, I had tried to update plugins by selecting all, but the box by each plugin that would normally fill in with a check mark stayed blank. I didn’t update them at that time. I just went back to the site to follow your instructions, went to the plugins in the Dashboard, and went to each plugin individually that had a newer version and updated them one by one. No problem. Then, I went back to the link I posted in this forum, and voila, all the text is back as usual.
I updated the plugins before following your instructions because I hadn’t remembered the weird thing with selecting the plugins earlier. Once I remembered, and hearing from you that it could be a plugin issue, I decided to see if this would resolve the issue and apparently it has.
Thanks, I really appreciate your help!

OK, in the spirit of “if it’s not working check to see if it’s plugged in”: the latest update required that I click on Activate in the list of plugins. No other update has required that for the buttons and shopping cart to still be working. I’ve activated PayPal Simple Shopping Cart and all the buttons are back. Thanks.

I deleted a $ from one of the button code sections and it didn’t fix the problem. The thing is, these buttons have been in place for quite a while with no problem. I’m wondering if there’s a compatibility issue from an automatic update of the WP version or a plugin update?

Good call. I did check with the host and the support person increased the storage space, and everything went to normal again. Simple fix. Thank you for your reply!

Thank you, I’ve gone over there and entered a post.

No. All the tabs on the public’s view of the site are what I’m referring to… the tabs that take people to the pages. No tabs, and no drop-down menus. The site is https://www.hollandfranklin.com if you want to look. They should all be in a horizontal display below the photo of the lotus.

Yes, that worked! First “Deactivate” and then the “Delete” option shows up (just saying this for anyone who might read this thread in the future, because I didn’t initially see the Delete option displayed).

Thanks for your help!

Thanks!

Hey there, I created a whole new page from scratch by typing it all in, avoiding cutting and pasting anything other than the Shopping Cart code. I created the ordering buttons as before, and everything seems to work fine so far. As soon as someone orders I’ll know if the whole thing worked, but my problem is resolved. Thank you SO much for all your good Samaritan attention, I truly appreciate your efforts. Holland

I did a quick button on a new page. I have to publish the page because if the buttons are clicked on, on a non-published page, only a blank whit page shows up next. The button when clicked on, put an item in the cart successfully. Since it’s the very same code I’m cutting and pasting each time, and not making errors entering product names and prices, I believe you are right that the product page is corrupted. In that case, it looks like the only thing to do is to start over and create a new product page – right?

No I don’t.

I don’t see any cached versions. All plugins were recently disabled and reinstalled by my web host because it turned out that Jetpack was crashing my site, but we didn’t know initially which plugin might be doing it. I just recently upgraded to the latest version of WordPress.

Sorry, revealing my ignorance – how would I know if I have a cache plugin? Where would I find it?

I went to text mode, re-pasted the code, checked it by comparing to original, entered product name and price, for the Dynamically Enhanced Portable: the result was the same, it still goes to PayPal login page.

[wp_cart_button name=”PRODUCT-NAME” price=”PRODUCT-PRICE”]

If you look at the original code, there is a space between the words ‘button’ and ‘name’. This is true for the top button that works, and the one below that doesn’t work.

My confusion is that I have done this now three times, where I cut and paste the code exactly the same way each time. I do have spaces in between the words of the product names, but all the product buttons have that. Here’s the code again. Thanks again.

[wp_cart_button name=”PRODUCT-NAME” price=”PRODUCT-PRICE”]
