Default product won’t go to Checkout

Hi guys,
Up until recently, I have had a working cart with a small custom function that adds a default product to the cart whenever it is empty (code below). Now, if the default product is the only product in the cart, the cart will not proceed to the checkout page. It simply redirects back to the cart over and over. The link says it will go to /checkout but it then bounces back to /cart.

If you shop more and add a different product manually, the cart will go on to the checkout page, as expected. I haven’t made any code changes or added plugins or anything to cause this to break. I have updated WP and WooCommerce along the way, though.

See the issue at:
http://americancremation.com/cart

Any ideas are welcome. I have already checked the WC settings, changed to a different theme (doesn’t help), checked .htaccess, made sure I’m not forcing https, everything I can think of.

———————
CODE for default product (in functions.php)
```
function woo_default_product() {
    if (WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count() == 0) {
        WC()->cart->add_to_cart( 330 );
    }
}
add_action('woocommerce_check_cart_items', 'woo_default_product');
```
The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

By chance did you try changing the theme to storefront or twentyseventeen and seeing if the issue is the same? (Toss just that function in the function file for those themes).

I did try that, but I did it again to be sure:

BTW, if I add a regular item from the /shop page, I can get to the /checkout page, and then I can get there forevermore, even if I go back to the cart and remove the extra product (so the default is the only one again). This is true until I empty the cache/cookies or use a new browser.

Give this a try


function woo_default_product() {

    if( ! is_admin() ) {

	    if ( WC()->cart->is_empty() ) {

		    WC()->cart->add_to_cart( 330 );

	    }

    }

}
add_action('template_redirect', 'woo_default_product', 10, 0 );

I had issues with it on the woocommerce_check_cart_items hook. It always went through the if statement and would validate as 0 items in the cart then re-add the product.

Testing using the above, I was able to go directly to the checkout page with the cart present and checkout.

This worked wonderfully. Thank you so much. I just wasn’t getting it on my own!
