Issue<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting with version 8.3, WooCommerce uses WooCommerce blocks instead of the legacy shortcodes. These blocks  are incompatible with the Elementor Editor and can lead to the editor not loading. To avoid conflicts, users must delete these WooCommerce blocks before building their cart page in Elementor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solutions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Delete the WooCommerce cart block <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deleting the WooCommerce Cart block is the recommended solution for this compatibility issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To delete the cart<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Navigate to WP Admin, Pages>All pages<\/strong>.
    \"\"
    A list of all the site’s pages appears.
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Hover over the Cart <\/strong>page and Click Edit<\/strong>. 
    The cart will open in the Gutenberg editor. The cart is actually a set of sub blocks so you can\u2019t delete them individually. You will need to follow the following steps.
    [callout type=”note”]When you open the Gutenberg editor, you should receive a warning message in the top left of your screen.[\/callout]
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Click the margin area either to the right or left of the blocks.
    \"\"
    The Cart toolbar appears in the pane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Click the ellipses in the toolbar. 
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Select Delete <\/strong>from the dropdown menu.
    The Cart <\/strong>page is empty. 
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Click Update <\/strong>in the upper right of the Gutenberg editor.
    [callout type=”important”]Do not skip this step.[\/callout]
    \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Click Edit with Elementor<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The Cart <\/strong>page opens in the Elementor Editor. <\/strong>You can now build your cart in the editor using the Elementor <\/strong>Cart widget.<\/strong> Find out more about building a web store with the Elementor Academy\u2019s course, Building an online store with WooCommerce<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Your cart can now be edited with Elementor as normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Delete the Cart page<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Deleting the Cart page is a more complicated solution and is therefore not recommended unless there is a specific reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To delete the Cart page<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Navigate to WP Admin, Pages>All pages<\/strong>.

    2. Hover over the Cart <\/strong>page, and click Trash<\/strong>.\u00a0
      You no longer have a cart page so you\u2019ll need to create one.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. In WP Admin, click Add New Page<\/strong>.
      \"\"<\/li>\n\n\n\n
