Hi there,

I’m having an issue where the cart appears empty when trying to purchase courses on my website. I’m using Elementor, Eventin, and WooCommerce, with WPML set up for English and French.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:
-Enabled “Translate Everything Automatically” to generate all French pages.
-Verified that the Cart, Checkout, Account, and Shop pages exist and are linked in both languages.
-Confirmed that the French cart page includes the [woocommerce_cart] shortcode.
-Cleared cache and browser sessions, and also cleared customer sessions in WooCommerce.
-Verified that I’m using subdirectories for languages (example: /fr/) and not separate domains.

Despite this, whenever I try to register or purchase a course through Eventin, the cart shows as empty.
This only happens when WPML is active. When I disable WPML, the cart and checkout process work correctly.

Cheers,
Bridget

Hello Bridget,

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

I checked your site, but couldn’t reproduce the issue. To help us isolate the cause, could you please:

- Share a screenshot (or short screen recording) of the problem and the exact steps/URL/product to reproduce it.

- Confirm whether the issue does not persist if you temporarily disable the WPML plugins (WPML Multilingual CMS, String Translation, and WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency). Please clear any caches after toggling.

- Open your browser’s console while reproducing the issue and share any error messages you see.

I’ve enabled debug information for this ticket. Please follow these steps to provide it: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Hi Andrey,

That website had to be reverted to a backup since it’s live. You can review the issue on the staging website: hidden link

Also, I only have credits applied to this site and the live one. I was hoping there might be a way to reevaluate the credits, since I currently don’t have enough to use WPML on both even though the Multilingual CMS package is meant for 3 websites.

Thanks for your help,
Bridget

Hello Bridget,

Thank you for your feedback.

Could you please provide the debug information for this ticket? You can find the instructions here:
http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

Just to confirm—am I correct that the cart works normally when you temporarily disable all WPML plugins?

Also, regarding your question about credits: you can freely add or remove credits from any of your sites. The total number of credits you own is shared across all your sites — it’s not limited per site.

More information is available here:

Thank you for providing the information.

Could you please try the following steps and share the results?

1. Temporarily deactivate all WPML plugins.

Do you still experience the same issue after deactivating WPML?

I need to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site—preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible—in order to be of better help. When you log in to leave your next reply, you will find the needed fields below the comment area. The information you will enter is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

Thank you for providing the access.

I will look into it and let you know as soon as I have more information.

I have replied earlier about the credits (see below). If this is not what you are asking, could you please elaborate a bit so I can better understand?

Could you please grant full administrator access to the user account you created for me? At the moment, I only have access to the frontend My Account section.

Also, please share the link to a product so I can test adding it to the cart.

Thank you.

Hi there,

I’ve updated your role to administrator access.

Here is a test product for $1 so you can check the cart functionality:
