Deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce and see if the error still occurs. If it doesn’t, reactivate your plugins one by one to identify which one is causing the conflict. * 2. If the issue persists after deactivating all plugins, try switching to a default theme (like[ StoreFront](https://wordpress.org/themes/storefront/)) and check if the error still exists. * If you’re still experiencing issues after these steps, please get back to us, and we will be more than happy to help. * Thread Starter [savvasgrill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasgrill/) * (@savvasgrill) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-checkout-please-try-again-99/#post-17286585) * Great, thank you! * Thread Starter [savvasgrill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasgrill/) * (@savvasgrill) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-checkout-please-try-again-99/#post-17286588) * Can you please provide a php snipped code to hide update cart button and update cart automatically on all devices? * [ckadenge (woo-hc)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ckadenge/) * (@ckadenge) * [2 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-processing-checkout-please-try-again-99/#post-17286660) * Hi [@savvasgrill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/savvasgrill/), * To hide the update cart button, you will first need to add a CSS code and hide the button. * You will need to head over to your **WordPress dashboard > Appearance > Customize**, then add the code CSS below: * input[name=’update_cart’] { * display: none !important; * } * Now that the button is hidden, the next step is to “click” the button via JQuery and let WooCommerce update the cart totals. This code will trigger a “click” on the hidden Update Cart button. * Add the following code in the functions.php file: * ```wp-block-code add_action( 'wp_footer', 'auto_update_cart' ); function auto_update_cart() { if (is_cart()) { ?> Customize > Additional CSS**, and the PHP code should be in your child theme’s functions.php file. 2. Clear your website cache. If you are using a caching plugin, please clear your cache so your changes can take effect. 3. Check your browser’s console for any JavaScript errors. If there are any, they could prevent the script from executing properly. 4. There could be a conflict if your theme or another plugin also uses the `wp_footer` action. Try changing the priority of the action by adding a third parameter to the add_action function like so: `add_action( 'wp_footer', 'auto_update_cart', 99 );` * Please note that writing or providing custom code is not within the scope of [our support policy](https://woo.com/support-policy/). If you’ve checked all of these and the issue persists, we recommend asking development questions on the #developers channel of the [WooCommerce Community Slack](https://woo.com/community-slack/) or [WooCommerce Advanced Facebook group](https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/). Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your query.
