Blank/empty pages Cart and Checkout.
-
We’re just getting started with WooCommerce and are preparing a store with just a few categories and products in it to play around with it and get to know it before we get seriously into it.
We don’t yet have an SSL certificate for our website.
Does this mean that we won’t be able to create a store and test it until we get an SSL certificate?
As is, we’re seeing blank pages when we go to cart and try to go to checkout. On those pages, our header is there, but the page below the header is empty, blank.
I posted this same question in an existing thread that mentioned this, but haven’t had a reply. Thought maybe it might be missed in that other thread.
Thank you.

thanewest,
Thanks. Having first looked all through the various woocommerce>settings pages blanks that were to be filled in, so-to-speak, we then created the individual pages we wanted to use for cart, checkout, my account, and terms & conditions. Then we went back to woocommerce>settings and selected the respective pages to be used.
Though we have seen mentions in various places about adding shortcode to those pages, we’re too new to have learned enough about it to know what to do with that. Probably just a little more homework on that will suffice.
By the way, the way we arranged the main store page, categories, products and other pages (with their respective slugs) is like this:
http://oursite/main-store/category/product
and
http://oursite/main-store/cart
and
http://oursite/main-store/checkout
and
http://oursite/main-store/my-account
and
http://oursite/main-store/terms-and-conditionsBut we were having the blank page problem before we arranged the pages in that fashion.
In all of the steps we’ve been very slow and steady and meticulous about everything, triple checking everything.
Yes. And I found the shortcodes online, too, and put them in the respective generic cart, checkout etc. pages.
However, I’m still trying to figure out where to put the shortcodes on pages in which I’ve included Visual Composer rows and text blocks. Edit: Looks like maybe switch from backend or frontend editor mode to classic view mode, then enter them following the visual composer code inside the text editor box. Trying that now.
I’m just not yet familiar with it all enough to remember from time to time and place to place how to do things. It’s just a matter of play with it and learning it.
Like you say, I thought I could add the required shortcode via VC text box. But not being sure about that, I decided to do it in Classic Mode. But now that you confirm that, that’s what I’ll do in the future.
After doing that, i.e. after adding the shortcode and saving, in the backend editor the shortcode appears inside a new VC row as a purple Woo icon alongside of which is the name of the shortcode, like Cart or My Account or whatever.
Above that row Woo shortcode row and just below my header are the VC rows I already had in the page before adding the shortcode, those rows contain some VC text blocks over background photos.
It’s shaping up. I am going slow and easy. The cart, my account and other pages are right there where they need to be and look just like they are supposed to. So now I’m beginning the process of creating categories and products.
It helps to watch the videos.
Thanks for the encouragement.
