Hi. I don’t use a gallery plug-in…. the link I sent you simply uses the WordPress default gallery.

do_shortcode(‘[gallery link="file" type="rectangular" size="thumbnail" order="ASC" orderby="menu_order" columns="0" ]‘);

That being said, adding .gallery$$A to the custom grouping selectors seemed to have worked! The gallery is functioning as expected now.

If you don’t mind my asking, why did this work? And, will this exact solutions work on another site that uses this plug in, as well?

Thank you!

You nailed it.

I didn’t think that was the problem, because I had written an if/then condition on the page itself to ignore the checkout shortcode if cart was empty. The problem is… that code was never being read because the redirect happened before it.

So….. I solved it using this code in my function.php file….

add_action( ‘init’, ‘woocommerce_empty_cart_redirect’ );
function woocommerce_empty_cart_redirect() {
global $woocommerce;
if ( $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”] == “/checkout/” && !sizeof( $woocommerce->cart->get_cart() )) {
wp_redirect( get_permalink( wc_get_page_id( ‘shop’ ) ) );
exit;
}
}

If someone with an empty cart tries to view the cart, it simply redirects to the shop page.

Another possibility would be to create a new page, and use the CART shortcode ONLY. Redirection to this would display the empty cart on that condition, and the cart/checkout combo page for all other carts.

I appreciate your help. I doubt I ever would have figured this out on my own!!

I do not use a 3rd party theme, rather one I have developed myself over time for the websites I create.

I did not like having a separate cart page and checkout page (as it just added one more click to the process for people just buying one item, which is going to be the bulk of this website’s customers).

So I combined the cart and checkout pages on to one page … and I did so by just including both short codes on one page, like this:

<h2>Your Order</h2>
[woocommerce_cart]
[woocommerce_checkout]

I don’t THINK this is the problem, however… because I have tested it with just the cart shortcode and just the checkout shortcode, and the problem occurs regardless.

The redirect seems to be happening before the page even loads at all… before these shortcodes would even be processed. I have even added a forced redirect in the functions.php file that looks for the cart page, checks if it’s empty, and if so redirects to a totally different page. But this code never fires either.

It’s as if, the moment you click the cart button with an empty cart, it never even tries to load the page. I am baffled.

Ugh… I re-installed WordPress, I deleted Woocommerce and re-installed … it lost all my settings which I had to go recalibrate… and of course, the problem still happens.
