Add to cart button spins/hangs for some users

We reported this issue months ago and your staff responded we needed to check on the security software each user had on their computers. This has become unmanageable for a global conference where users are using different computer systems and software versions.

Users report they click on the add to cart button and the page just doesn’t finish loading, the spinning icon hangs on the page.  I haven’t been able to reproduce the error on my computers so I’m not sure how to help users. http://www.raptorresearchfoundation.org/conferences/current-conference/conferenceregistration/online_registration

Hi Libby,

We could try updating your site so it’s on the latest version of WordPress and Event Espresso and that may help. We received the admin details via the form but it would be best if we had FTP login credentials while we work on the site. Can you please send the FTP credentials via the form here:

One other thing that would be really helpful is if you have any information about the browser/OS that the user who reported the issue was using. This may help narrow down the issue.

Josh –

I’ll send the ftp info shortly.

 

The browser information is all over the board since the folks are global.  We’ve asked the users while troubleshooting this issue and it’s IE, Chrome, Safari, Mozilla. These are on the same network or computer which makes me think it’s not the browser but the operating system or network that causes the problem.

I’d agree that if this is all happening on the same network or computer then it wouldn’t be the browser but rather the computer or network that’s causing the issue.

For clarification, a single user tries to register using 3 different browsers. All fail. They try on another computer on the same network (at a business or government agency) and it also fails.  We have had about 20-30 people report this problem from the US, Canada, Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.

There really isn’t anything we can fix here if we can’t reproduce the problem. What I would suggest is enable the registration forms for the events where people are trying to register and they can’t register via the Add to Cart feature. This way the folks on the locked down networks will be able to register.

Josh – I’m not clear on where the enable registration form option is in the plugin. Can you elaborate? Thank you!

It’s within each event. So if you go into to edit an event and look under “Event Options” there’s a Yes/No option labeled: Display registration form?. It looks like right now the events are all set to not display the registration form.

This is happening for me as well. Is it because of a WordPress update? I’ve disabled all other plugins an tried again, but its still hanging.

Hi there,

Can you post a link to the page where the add to cart button spins so we can investigate?

@raptorreasearchfoundation

Here is the error that I’m seeing in the Web inspector that would apply here:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://raptorresearchfoundation.org/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php. Origin http://www.raptorresearchfoundation.org is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

I think if you can drop the www. from the site’s URL that should help or add www. so the two match. You should be able to adjust this in the WordPress Settings>General and make sure the WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) match.

Didn’t work for me.

Hi @jfarquhar,

The above suggestion wasn’t suggested for your site. I checked the URL and it appears the issue is with this block of code that was added near the bottom of the page:

 <div id="ads">
        		<script>
            $(function(){
      $("#slideads").slides({
Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'slides'
        preload: true,
        play: 6000,
        pause: 1500,
        hoverPause: false,
		effect: 'fade',
		crossfade: true,
		generatePagination: false,
		generateNextPrev: false
      });
            });
        </script>

If you replace where it says $ with jQuery that should fix the issue you’re having. What it’s trying to do is load up jQuery as the $, which isn’t compatible with WordPress.

@josh

It was working before, and that code was already in place. I have “$” throughout the site for jQuery functions. If I replace them all, will that solve my problem? As I need to get this running as soon as possible. I attempted removing that block of code, and it didnt fix my issue.

Hi Jay,

You need to use jQuery in safe mode. Here is instruction on how to do that:
