product shortcode problems

Am using a shortcode to display five products that are hidden from regular inventory:

[products limit=”5″ columns=”5″ ids=”5097,5095,5084,5085,5083″ visibility=”hidden”]

Everything renders fine, except that the add to cart links are outputting as “buy now” links where the product is added to the cart rather than clicking through to the product page, which is the default behavior for the whole site:

Meaning the links are: /hand-picked-for-you/?add-to-cart=5084

Rather than a link to the product page: /product/copal-oil/

Only one of the products works properly, the difference being that it has a variation. In this case, the link generated goes to the product page as intended.

Unfortunately I can’t share the page as its a special offer that my client wants hidden from regular view.

Followed from the documentation here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#section-9

Actually found that this is happening on ALL product links, not just shortcodes. Tried disabling plugins and using storefront, but neither helped. Tried permalink reset, no help.

Also noticed something odd… whether using storefront or our regular theme, the link on the product image is correct:

https://fourvisionsmarket.com/product/handmade-one-of-a-kind-seed-bead-earrings-7/

But the Add to Cart button is:
https://fourvisionsmarket.com/product-category/feminine-tools/earrings-feminine-tools/?add-to-cart=987468929

Tried two or three times to do plugin + theme resets, but that had no effect.

Hi @peteratomic,

You may be able to adjust this with the woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link filter. Here’s the source code for that.
```
echo apply_filters(
	'woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link', // WPCS: XSS ok.
	sprintf(
		'<a href="%s" data-quantity="%s" class="%s" %s>%s</a>',
		esc_url( $product->add_to_cart_url() ),
		esc_attr( isset( $args['quantity'] ) ? $args['quantity'] : 1 ),
		esc_attr( isset( $args['class'] ) ? $args['class'] : 'button' ),
		isset( $args['attributes'] ) ? wc_implode_html_attributes( $args['attributes'] ) : '',
		esc_html( $product->add_to_cart_text() )
	),
	$product,
	$args
);
```
You’d want to write a function that replaces the generated link with one that redirects to the single product page instead.

Thank you @3sonsdevelopment !

Curious though… was this something that changed with a new version of Woocommerce? The default we’ve had since launch was a product page link on the add to cart button, then it suddenly changed, but can’t say exactly when.

Good question. It’s been this way for quite some time though I can’t say for certain if/when it changed. You’re welcome to go back through the history of the file on GitHub to see exactly what changed when.
