Hi all, I think I have found a bug in the Free Downloads for WooCommerce Pro Plugin.

Whenever I edit a product, the user is blasted with WooCommerce notifications saying "product X has been edited and was therefore removed from the cart. If you want to add it again, click here". I'm only offering digital products that can be downloaded right from the single product page. The cart functionality is not used and is empty.

I believe this is what happens:

- The cart is actually empty (since the Free Downloads plugin bypasses the cart).

- WooCommerce is still trying to check cart contents on page load, finds nothing valid, and repeatedly throws this notice.

This makes the shop pretty much unusable. Any ideas how to fix this?

Many thanks in advance,

Karl

    Hi Karl

    It sounds to me like it is not our plugin as we dont have this notice but could be wrong

    If you disable our plugin does it work? Maybe create a staging/dev site to try on without effecting the live site?

    Thanks

    Hi Pete,

    Thank you for your quick help!

    It was indeed a conflict caused by another plugin, after deleting the products, it worked again.

    Thanks again,

    Karl
