Cocart session handler broke woocommerce sessions

Have you tried upgrading anything on a staging site to see if the problem is solved?

Can you also provide a link to each of the WCFM plugins product page.

Would appreciate it if you report the bug also to WCFM so that they are also in the loop and help solve this issue together.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back so quickly, I appreciate your help!

Here are my answers to your 3 points.

1) I have not tried upgrading anything yet. Do you want me to upgrade Cocart plugin? (My current version is v3.4.1 and latest available is v3.7.4)

2) Here are the links to the WCFM pages:

a) WCFM – WooCommerce Multivendor Marketplace => https://wclovers.com/knowledgebase_category/wcfm-marketplace/

Hi,

I followed this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/woocommerce-session-not-working-with-cocart-lite/ and tried to set specified code under “wp_loaded” action hook as below, but nothing worked. Any updates please?

add_action( ‘wp_loaded’, ‘initiate_session_early’ );
function initiate_session_early () {
if ( ! WC()->session instanceof CoCart_Session_Handler ) {
include_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/cart-rest-api-for-woocommerce/includes/abstracts/abstract-cocart-session.php’;
include_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/abstract-cocart-session.php/includes/class-cocart-session-handler.php’;
WC()->session = new CoCart_Session_Handler();
}
}

1. Updates provided are for your benefit to insure compatibility with WooCommerce and WordPress so long as you are updating them as well.

2. Thank you for sharing the links. I will create a fresh setup so I can work on this. Currently working on finishing a big update for CoCart so it will be scheduled after.

3. That’s good to know. As it’s behind a login I won’t be able to read the ticket so please do share what they respond when they do.

As for your code snippet. It’s wrong. You can’t initiate the session handler that early because WooCommerce hasn’t even loaded yet.

I don’t know if this will help but I don’t think the issue has anything to do with loading the session handler in time.

add_action( 'woocommerce_loaded', function() {
	if ( ! WC()->session instanceof CoCart_Session_Handler ) {
		include_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/cart-rest-api-for-woocommerce/includes/abstracts/abstract-cocart-session.php';
		include_once WP_PLUGIN_DIR . ‘/cart-rest-api-for-woocommerce/includes/class-cocart-session-handler.php';
		WC()->session = new CoCart_Session_Handler();
	}
}

Just setup a new local install but can’t fully activate and setup WCFM – WooCommerce Frontend Manager. There appear to be many issues with this plugin. See screenshot.

Can you tell me what version of PHP you are running on? I’m on 8.0

Hi Sébastien,

Thanks for taking so much pain in giving insights.
The screenshot is not mush readable so, please tell me which plugin/tool you used to extract these error I will try in my installation because, I can’t see any such issues here. I am using Query Monitor Plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/query-monitor/) to view errors and warnings.

I am running it on PHP v7.4.25 and when I tried on v8.0 then it did not run properly. (WP v5.6.5)

When I temporarily deactivate CoCart plugin then woocommerce session cookie gets created the vendor registration works fine. However, with CoCart active only the Cocart session cookie created till I add an item in cart through Add To Cart button on /shop page.

Thanks.

I use LocalWP as my tool and also using Query Montior.

I changed to PHP v7.4 and the errors disappeared.

I have looked at the plugin code base and it looks like they are adding data to the session before CoCart filters the session handler to use it’s own and because our session handler uses it’s own database table, the session data that was added before is not there so it’s not able to verify it when needed.

If the membership plugin simply changes it’s hooks to use woocommerce_loaded instead for the functions that are adding the session data then it should work fine with CoCart.

woocommerce_loaded is the best action hook to be using to make sure the plugin is fully compatible with WooCommerce and is loaded first with all it’s core properties including the session handler.

This will then allow all 3 plugins to load in the right order.

You can see here that CoCart does nothing until WooCommerce has loaded first using the woocommerce_loaded hook.

I hope this helps the developers of the membership plugin.

Any updates on on this @wclovers @sid3ps

Closing issue since there hasn’t been any further updates.
