Removing an item from cart results in missing cart

    Hi, whenever I try to remove an item from the cart using the little red cross the entire cart just disappears from the HTML markup. I have to refresh the page in order to get the cart back.

    I know this is a theme conflict of some sort, as I have switched themes and the problem goes away. However I have gone through and deactivated pretty much everything in my theme one by one and I can’t pinpoint what is causing it.

    Any ideas why this is happening or common issues within custom themes that could be the culprit?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    After doing some more digging and checking websites where the cart does work, I think I have an idea why it’s happening.

    It seems the XHR request is wrong and redirecting to /?removed_item=1 which returns a 302.

    I think it should be /cart?removed_item=1

    See screenshot which may help.

    I managed to figure this out on my own in the end.

    In my header.php I had this meta tag:

    <meta name=”referrer” content=”origin”>

    Somehow this was interfering with the ajax header location.

    Changing it to this fixed the problem:

    <meta name=”referrer” content=”origin-when-crossorigin”>

    Hope this helps someone else one day.

    @jameskoussertari thank you! you spared me hours of debugging.
    For me this happened because I have vimeography on my website which outputs this tag for restriced videos.
