 * I deleted the checkout page from the main menu because under products page is
   another “checkout” page with a different shortcode. I deleted it because there
   is a duplicate “checkout” page under “products” page. But it remained in the 
   main navigation buttons but when pressed I get a 404 page not found error. I 
   tried to create it again with the [woocommerce_checkout]short code but didn’t
   work. I went to the woocommerce plugin and account status, tools and clicked 
   on add woo commerce pages. Supposed to add missing pages. Didn’t work. I searched
   documentation online for hours and found nothing to help. Now the “checkout” 
   page from the main menu has a 404 error. The “Checkout” under the “Products” 
   page shows the shortocde when not logged in. Under “transaction results” I see
   the shortcode when not logged in and under “your account” I see the shortcode.
   When I click on the cart icon I get a page not found 404 error. I would be willing
   to do a reinstall if I can fix all the pieces parts. If anyone could help I would
   greatly appreciate it.

 * [@ladalang](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ladalang/), Your navigation seems
   to be working now. You should also update your permalink structure under Settings
   > Permalinks for friendly URLs. (ie. Instead of your checkout page being: [http://www.lakescreenprinting.net/?page_id=11](http://www.lakescreenprinting.net/?page_id=11)
   it would be [http://www.lakescreenprinting.net/checkout/](http://www.lakescreenprinting.net/checkout/))

 * Strange.
 * You have multiple pages attempting to be WooCommerce pages. Delete the Checkout
   and Cart pages completely, and delete all the pages in your trash. From there,
   create two new pages and use the shortcodes.

 * FYI,
 * `[woocommerce_cart]` is the correct shortcode for WooCommerce’s cart and `[woocommerce_checkout]`
   is the correct shortcode for WooCommerce’s checkout page.

 * I tried to delete the checkout page and the navigation button stays there but
   gets a page not found 404 error. How do I delete the checkout out and cart completely?
   I didn’t know I had “trash”.

 * You need to also edit your menus, that link is pointing to the old page which
   no longer exists.
 * Step 1) Go to “Pages”. Above the “Bulk Actions” select (drop down) field there
   will be “All | Published | Trash”, click the “Trash” option. Once the page reloads,
   empty/permanently delete all pages from the Trash.
 * Step 2) Recreate the Cart and Checkout pages by using the “Add New” button and
   place the correct shortcode on each page.
 * Step 3) Hover over “Appearance” and select “Menus”. Navigate to your Main Navigation
   that you created when you setup the site, and remove all of the existing Cart
   and Checkout pages.
 * Step 4) Add the pages back to the menu and drag them to the desired order. Click
   the Save button.
 * Step 5) Hover over settings and select “Permalinks”, choose the “Post Name” option
   to tidy up your links and give the URLS meaning. This will also allow you to 
   see if the page you are working on has an appended “-#” to it, meaning there 
   is already an existing page.
 * Let me know if that’s a bit more clear 🙂
