checkout link on product pages

Hi @flyfisher842,

Thank you for your question.

There wasn’t any shopping cart link in the single product page byt you can add it by adding the following code in the functions.php file of your child theme or add it in your site using any of the following plugins.

http://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/add-actions-and-filters/

function product_the_content_filter($content) {

  if ( is_singular('product') ) {
    $content .= mp_cart_link(false);
  }

  return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'product_the_content_filter' );

Alternatively you can change “Checkout Button Type” from “Add To Cart” to “Buy Now” on all single product pages from the following path so that the user will immediately get redirected to shopping cart after clicking on the button.

Admin Area -> Products -> Store Settings -> Presentation -> Single Product Settings

Hi @flyfisher842,

Thank you for your reply.

To achieve this try using the following code replacing previously provided code.

function product_cat_filter(  $return, $product_id, $before, $sep, $after ) {

  if ( is_singular('product') ) {
    $return .= '<br /><br />'.mp_cart_link(false);
  }

  return $return;
}
add_filter( 'mp_category_list', 'product_cat_filter', 10, 5 );

Hi @flyfisher842,

It’s working fine on my site displaying “Shopping Cart” link below the product categories on single product page.

Could you please use this code and provide me the product page link from your site so that i can test it?

Hi @flyfisher842,

Thank you for sharing the product page link.

I could find out that in some cases the shopping cart link is not getting displayed.

To resolve this issue try creating a functions.php file in the directory wp-content/mu-plugins( Create it if not exist ) containing the following code in it.

if (!function_exists('mp_category_list')) :

function mp_category_list($product_id = false, $before = '', $sep = ', ', $after = '') {
		$terms = get_the_term_list($product_id, 'product_category', $before, $sep, $after);
		if ($terms)
				$return = $terms;
		else
				$return = __('Uncategorized', 'mp');

		return apply_filters('mp_category_list', $return, $product_id, $before, $sep, $after);
}
endif;

Hi @flyfisher842,

The provided code is working fine on my test site.

Please make sure you have copied the code correctly.

If you still faces issue with it then can you please try enabling WP_DEBUG mode? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:

define('WP_DEBUG',true);

You might already have a line for WP_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true.

For information on this, checkout this wpmu.org article.

Let me know what errors if any you are getting when you get the blank page after using the provided code.

Hi @flyfisher842,

I think you may be facing this issue due to not including the provided code in the php tags as following.

<?php
if (!function_exists('mp_category_list')) :

function mp_category_list($product_id = false, $before = '', $sep = ', ', $after = '') {
		$terms = get_the_term_list($product_id, 'product_category', $before, $sep, $after);
		if ($terms)
				$return = $terms;
		else
				$return = __('Uncategorized', 'mp');

		return apply_filters('mp_category_list', $return, $product_id, $before, $sep, $after);
}
endif;
?>

Are you talking about the latest versions of the following theme and plugin?

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bulletproof-security/
https://wordpress.org/themes/virtue

You don’t need to mess with the debug, for this take a bit of wrong route as following.

Try enabling WP_DEBUG mode and debug logging? To do this, just go to wp-config.php include this:

define('WP_DEBUG',true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG',true);

You might already have a line for WP_DEBUG, so just make sure it’s set to true. This will create a log file under wp-content/debug.log with detailed information.

If you’d like to avoid end users seeing error messages, you can include this as well:

@ini_set('display_errors',0);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

This will prevent errors from being displayed, but you can still find them in the log file. For information on this, checkout this wpmu.org article.
