Remove Add to Cart Buttons from Product Page

Hi Michael,

Here is the link http://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');

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

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.

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.

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