Cannot consistently add items to cart in Chrome v. 1.5.2 / registered users cannot log in

[redalice734]

I'm working on two sites and this problem comes up w/both.

 

The site I need to address ASAP is www.pinpartnersonline.com. When I add items to the cart it shows up in the cart block in the header but when I click on the icon I get the message "your cart is empty". On the back end it looks like the customer ditched the cart.

 

I did have it working and was able to place and complete several test orders. I added affiliate code from OmniStar to controllers/front/OrderConfirmationController.php and was again able to place and complete test orders - but after a few test orders with their code, the cart stopped working. I removed the code and cleared my cache, deleted my cookies, and uninstalled and reinstalled the cart block; it still does not work in Chrome. I also tried unhooking and the re-establishing the hooks for the cart. I just can't get the cart to populate in Chrome.

 

The cart works just fine in Mozilla Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer.

 

2nd issue:

Users can register and can work within the site as logged-in users immediately after registration, but once they've logged out they cannot log back in. The error I receive is "authentication failed". This issue occurs across all browsers, even when I clear the cache, cookies, etc.

 

I'm beyond frustrated with this release. I used 1.4.8 prior to switching to Bluehost for these accounts and since "upgrading" to 1.5.2, it's been one issue after another. I can't take another update, especially if it's going to break my themes again. Please send me the steps to resolve these issues in this version.

This is a shot in the dark, but would you be able to turn on Friendly URL's (via Admin -> Preferences -> SEO & URLS). It's hard to say that this is definitely an upgrade issue and not a Module/Theme issue. I'm noticing that others on the LeoTheme Support Forums are having a similar issue as you, which seems to be resolved with enabling Friendly Urls.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I posted the issue to PS's bug tracker and they closed the ticket and told me to upgrade. This was a fresh install (like only two weeks ago) direct from Bluehost; I've already added 200+ images that the backups don't load. An upgrade is out of the question, since I don't have time to upgrade, reload the graphics, and fix whatever the d*mn upgrade breaks in the theme before we launch on Friday.

 

Sorry to vent, I'm going cross-eyed from reading code. Thanks again!

Same issue here, if I add a product using Chrome, in the checkout page the cart is empty. Not working in other computer using chrome, checkout works perfectly in Mozilla and other browsers, and it works in chrome locally-xampp.

If you go to Forge they'll just tell you over & over again to upgrade; whatever you do, don't use the 1-Click.

 

It's breaking 1.5.2 stores all over the place and they aren't even trying to close the tickets; they haven't even responded to most of them and some go back to December. I'm in the middle of deleting the entire shop from my server and just running a fresh install of 1.5.3 (using the backup, of course).

 

Naturally, they'll do this for you if you've become so frustrated from dealing w/the 1.5.2 bugs that you just can't take it any more; prices start at only EU150 --

 

--this level of awful is bordering on scam, imo. Who launches ecommerce software with broken carts? It's almost enough to send me back to ZenCart.
