Problem with Woocommerce

We have tested the current advanced snippet on a new installation of WordPress and it is working without any issues. It sounds as though there may be a conflict with your setup or another plugin. In this case, I would recommend not using the advanced snippet at all (including the one you have mentioned). In our most recent update of Cache Enabler we have made significant improvements and the advanced snippet only produces a very very minimal speed enhancement.

As for the stock issue. This seems to also be working correctly on our default setup. Have you tried disabling other plugins to see if there is a conflict elsewhere? Also does the stock feature work when the advanced snippet isn’t used?

Thank you for your reply.
I just set up a fresh install of WP and Woocommerce. I have no other plugins beside Woo and yours. No extra code added. Still, the stock status shows “in stock”, and when you try to put the item in your cart, you cant and are getting the error message”Sorry this product is not in stock”. But it should not display “in stock” on the product page in first place!

I have a few things in my htaccess already, could these be causing a conflict? I have the following:

Does clearing the cache resolve the issue? In other words, when your product is out of stock but the page still shows “in stock” does clearing the cache properly render the page to show “out of stock”?

Yes it does!

Is there any way to avoid this? I don’t want to have to exclude the product page since it is on my front page…
And were you able to have a look at my htaccess? Is this okay with your plugin?

Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce the error you’re experiencing. I did test your .htaccess with our default setup and it still works as expected. Whenever I changed the stock value for a product and refreshed the page (Logged out of WP) the stock updated without having to empty the CE cache.

For testing purposes have you tried removing all of your additional .htaccess content and just having the default WP?

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Regarding the stock: I am not talking about the stock not updating correctly when you change it in the admin, but intstead when a customer is buying a product that is still in stock. So let’s say there is one item left, a customer buys it and then the product page still displays the item being in stock because it is still cached – but it should update when a customer buys the last one!

Okay thanks for the info. Will perform some more testing and get back to you.

Hi there,
I just wanted to let you know that I have tried two other caching plugins and they update the stock status display correctly when a customer buys an item, so there is a way. But overall, I prefer your plugin because it is faster ?? So I would really appreciate if you could implement the correct stock display as soon as possible…

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback.

We have been able to reproduce the issue as you mentioned. This has been passed along to the devs for further troubleshooting.

Thank you, I really hope this can be solved!
regarding the htacess modification: My host had a look at it and checked why we are getting a white screen when implementing your code, and it seems to have an additional [END] that is not needed. My host changed your code to this:

So your code is in the WordPress code, not above…now the site is working, but I am not sure if the code really does anything because the site is not faster…
