Redirect to checkout behaving strangely

[Thomas]

hello there

im trying to bypass the basket when clicking the buy button on a single product view

i found someone else having a similar problem here:

How to prevent auto redirection to cart after adding item

unfortunately there’s no solution there, so im hoping to re-raise the issue

im using the following plugins:

Event Tickets 4.1.3
Event Tickets Plus 4.1.2
The Events Calendar 4.1.3
WooCommerce 2.5.5

Wordpress version 4.5.1

basically in the woocommerce settings page, there is a redirect “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition” option, i can set it to off OR on, and it still redirects to the cart page. Ive tried Jami’s advice in the previously mentioned post by switching my theme to twenty thirteen (i also tried twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen), and disabling all other plugins, and im still getting the same behavior

ive also tried hooking into the add_to_cart_redirect() function by adding the following code (which seems to work for other woocommerce users that are not using the events calendar plugin) to my functions file

add_filter ('add_to_cart_redirect', 'redirect_to_checkout');

function redirect_to_checkout() {
global $woocommerce;
$checkout_url = $woocommerce->cart->get_checkout_url();
return $checkout_url;
}

still to no avail, so im hoping on some help with this as ive hit a dead end!

kind regards

Tommy

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for reaching out!

Indeed that is an unexpected behavior. On my test site if I add a ticket to the basket, then it goes to the cart. However, if I add a WooCommerce product, then it stays on the product page as expected. Could you please test this and confirm it back to me? (With the mentioned WooCommerce setting off.)

Meanwhile I will try to see if a solution for this exists or we need to make an adjustment.

Thanks and cheers,
Andras

Hello again Thomas,

I looked around and it looks like this is a small bug. I will file an internal ticket for this so it gets solved, however, I cannot commit to any date.

I am going to close this ticket to new replies, but the issue is still open and we will update this ticket once we release a fix.

If you have any new questions or issues don’t hesitate to create a new ticket.

Cheers,
Andras
