desireeM	Background of the issue: is_cart() and is_checkout() cannot be used on "init" hook, the earliest is "wp" - if it's called before that they will always return false See hidden link However you call them on "init" hook Here's a partial stack trace highlighting the issue: ... #7 /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/compatibility/WcSubscriptions/MulticurrencyHooks.php (107): is_cart() #8 /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/compatibility/WcSubscriptions/MulticurrencyHooks.php (49): WCMLCompatibilityWcSubscriptionsMulticurrencyHooks->maybe_force_client_currency_for_subscription() #9 /wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php (...): WCMLCompatibilityWcSubscriptionsMulticurrencyHooks->init() ... #12 /wp-settings.php (...): do_action( $hook_name = 'init' ) ... Do you have any e2e tests internally? Bc whatever you try to do, never works, since is_cart/is_checkout will always return false on init hook Btw same issue also "is_front_page()" WP (not WC) conditional, which, if called on "init" has not been initiated usually, since "parse_query" hasn't run on the main query yet ... #5 /wp-content/plugins/wp-seo-multilingual/classes/Utils.php (52): is_front_page() #6 /wp-content/plugins/wp-seo-multilingual/classes/Presentation/Hooks.php (33): WPMLWPSEOUtils::isFrontPageWithPosts() #7 /wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php (...): WPMLWPSEOPresentationHooks->init() ... #10 /wp-settings.php (...): do_action( $hook_name = 'init' ) ... #13 /wp-blog-header.php (13): require_once( '/wp-load.php' ) #14 /index.php (17): require( '/wp-blog-header.php' ) Symptoms: The conditional tags is_cart(), is_checkout(), and is_front_page() return false when used on the 'init' hook. Questions: Please fix your code

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Thank you for your patience and cooperation. May I request little more details on the said issue, like what problem exactly it is causing in your site? Also I request some steps about how I can reproduce this issue in a clean environment? I'm trying to understand the side-effects of these early calls.

desireeM	create a callback on "init" in which you call "is_checkout()" Go to checkout page - you will see it returns false

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I tried to reproduce the issue in a fresh sandbox site at hidden link (one-click login). But I noticed that the issue happens with only WooCommerce active in the site too. This means there's no WPML plugin active and issue still can be reproduced, so I believe it is coming from WC, not WPML. On the following pages, you can see these all return false: - Front page: hidden link - Cart: hidden link - Checkout: hidden link I've used "init" action. However if I use "wp" action, then these return correct (true) on the corresponding pages. Again this is only happening with WC active in the site. You can login by using the above mentioned link. I've added the code in 2021 theme's functions.php file. Can you please take some time and reproduce the issue where it really comes from WPML or WCML?

desireeM	Can you please ask somebody who has basic knowledge of PHP debugging and WP hooks bc your reply makes no sense - it's obviously expected that the test code will tigger even if no other plugins are active - it's literally to show you the example in a simple test case.
