I’m an idiot, I literally just checked the sitemap and can see how the priorities are set, posts are products, taxanomies are cats, feel free to send sillyness my way ??

Hi RK and thanks for the reply, I realise it wasn’t woo but was just wondering if anyone had any idea which plugin may have been the culprit as I’ve drawn a blank myself where these URLs are coming from, I’ve checked all-in-one SEO sitemaps etc and nothing there. I even re-installed the plugins I had before and checked dBASE, etc but nothing obvious at all.

I guess I’ll likely have to try installing the review plugins I think I may have had installed before and go through them with fine tooth comb, but with nothing in the dBASE it really is confusing me where these URLs are coming from and moreso that Google are reporting them as live and current !!

If I find anything else I’ll try and report back just in case anyone else runs into this issue.

All best
Marko

Thanks for that info, I did try and submit the removal request but Google are coming back and telling me those URLs are live which is worrying, if they had been cached I’d have found my answer but I’ve since popped a request on the WooCommerce support to ask advice there, I’d rather they weren’t being published in the first place as to request their removal from Google is only a temp thing and they might reappear in a few months
Marko

Thanks for the response, I did check the sitemaps too and didn’t see any reference, I can only assume it’s been a review module at some point that we were experimenting with, but we have since removed that and may just be a matter of time before google drop them. The page/3/ etc issues isn’t really a biggie either, they are hidden away in the middle of the search results, it was just the revws URL’s are prominent in the search results but I’ll leave it a few more weeks and hopefully see those results dropped ??
Thanks again for your response

Hi, and thanks for the reply, the URL’s specifically are from Google search
tillyoak site:tillyoak.co.uk

and are returning results like …
https://tillyoak.co.uk/?revws-custom-1-page-size=1&revws-custom-1-page=8?revws-custom-1-page-size=1&revws-custom-1-page=8
https://tillyoak.co.uk/?revws-custom-1-page-size=1&revws-custom-1-page=34
https://tillyoak.co.uk/?revws-custom-1-page-size=1&revws-custom-1-page=59
https://tillyoak.co.uk/?revws-custom-1-page-size=1&revws-custom-1-page=4

But these URL’s simply go to the home page

The /page/3 etc are …
https://tillyoak.co.uk/page/2/
https://tillyoak.co.uk/page/3/
https://tillyoak.co.uk/page/4/
https://tillyoak.co.uk/page/5/

These are crawled by google I’m guessing as we have pagination on the front page, but we also have “No Pagination for Canonical URLs” set to ON.

Hope that explains
Marko

Additionally, and just in case anyone else is looking for a way to completely “hide” the “checkout”, on mobile it still pops up but change …
Appearance > Customise > Woocommerce > General > Display Basket When Product Added to NO and this prevent the mobile basket drop-down from appearing too ??
Marko

I actually found an alternative way of doing this, rather than remove the “Checkout” button I was happy to simply loose the entire drop-down functionality, therefore just added style=”custom_link” into my existing code for the TopBar so my code is now:

Your Cart: [oceanwp_woo_cart total=”true” color=”#fe5252″ hover_color=”#222″ style=”custom_link”]

The basket icon when clicked just goes straight to the basket, which is exactly where I want users to go.

Hope this helps others
Marko

Hi, URL is any page that a product has been added to the basket and then the drop down cart is accessed by means of hovering over it.
Screen attached https://ibb.co/VD26WYy

We see “View Basket” and “Checkout” from the drop down, it’s the “Checkout” I’d like to remove and centre the “View Basket” if possible in it’s place ??
I’ve tried a few CSS alternations, the last one:

.top-login-mini-cart a.button.checkout{
visibility: hidden;
}

But nothing seems to work.
Thanks
Marko

Having looked over the issue again I can only draw the conclusion that for some reason, best known to others, you can’t actually perform a PayPal Express purchase from the checkout. In other words, you can purchase a product using paypal from a product page without having to enter your name, address or other details as paypal will send those details to the site after you have logged in to PP, you can also purchase a product(s) using paypal from the basket without having to enter your name, address or other details as paypal will send those details to the site after you have logged in to PP, but if you enter the checkout page, hitting the PP button will simply tell you the following:
Billing First name is a required field.
Billing Last name is a required field.
Billing Street address is a required field.
Billing Town / City is a required field.
Billing Postcode is a required field.
Billing Email address is a required field.

What I cannot understand is why this would be the case, you can bypass entering details on to the site via a product page, and the basket, but not the checkout. We use the checkout to offer other payment methods as well as PP, so we can’t simply disable the checkout, if this were the case the only payment option would be PayPal?!.

If I’m missing something, please do tell me, but as I say from my understanding of this functionality is we can make a seamless purchase from a product page and the basket, but NOT the checkout?
Cheers

Hi and thanks for your prompt response, unfortunately I’ve already tried this multiple times and the paypal standard also refuses to connect to PayPal without the guest first having to complete the fields on the checkout page. I’ve made sure to configure both plugins accordingly, so only the standard shows on the checkout page and express shows on the product, etc but nothing I do allows a guest to proceed to paypal from the checkout page without first entering billing, name, etc, etc
