Funnelkit minicart – Header menu cart not updating
-
Hello,
We use Funnelkit checkout and mini cart as we find the functionality better than native Woocommerce.
We have an issue where when items are removed in the Funnelkit mini cart the cart in our header menu in woodmart theme is not updated unless the page is refreshed. (see video in the private area).
Funnelkit tell us that this is because woodmart theme needs to listen to the AJAX remove-from-cart action so the menu cart can update dynamically without a page refresh.
Can you help tell us how we can do this?
Regards
LP
Hello,
Could you please check how it works with some default WordPress themes like TwentyTwenty or WooCommerce Storefront to understand if it is our theme issue or not?
Best Regards,
Hi,
We inserted the native funnelkit cart next to the woodmart cart in the example in the private area video to show the issue.
Does this help?
Hello,
Please deactivate all the 3rd party plugins and activate only theme-required plugins on the site and then check the issue. I am sure your issue will be solved. Then Activate the 3rd party plugins one by one and check which plugin is creating the issue for you.
Otherwise, if the issue still exists, then keep the 3rd party plugins deactivated and share the WP admin login details of your site so I can check and give you a possible solution.
Please also switch from the child theme to the parent theme (if you are currently using a child theme) and check whether the issue persists.

Hi,
Circling back on this topic.
You suggested for us to deactivate all 3rd party plugins to see if the issue will be fixed.
The Funnelkit cart is of course a 3rd party plugin so deactivating that would solve the problem but we are looking to see if Funnelkit cart can work correctly with Woodmart.
We have included admin login credentials for our staging site for you to check the issue.
Please advise

Hello,
Please, check how it works with the default WooCommerce Storefront theme. Send us a short video so we can see that there is no problem there.
Best Regards
Hi.
Okay. We switched to storefront theme with all plugins turned off.
See the video in the private area.

Hello,
Now I have checked your site, and the cart is updated fine.
See video for clarification: https://streamable.com/fo8dvs

Hello,
Thank you but it the cart does not update correctly when using Woodmart cart. What you showed in your video was Funnelkit cart (which works correctly).
In the previous video we provided we showed both funnelkit cart and woodmart cart side by side in the header menu.
Woodmart cart did not update correctly.
Funnelkit cart updated correctly.
You can check them side by side in the link provided in the private area to see the behaviour.
Let us know if you need anything further.

Hello,
Navigate to Theme Settings > Shop > Action after add to cart > set the “No action” – https://postimg.cc/w1hHgd0D: then the plugin mini cart will work fine.
Best Regards
Hello,
This setting is already set to ‘no action’ but this issue still happens.
Please advise?
Hello,
Please give me site access as an administrative role so I can check and give you a possible solution.
Best Regards
Hello,
We already provided admin access in the private area in an earlier post (May 20, 2026 at 12:55 pm)?
Are those credentials not working?
Hello,
If you want to use the FunnelKit mini cart functionality completely, then it is recommended to remove/disable the WoodMart header cart to avoid conflicts and duplicate cart systems from WoodMart > Header Builder.
Currently, both carts are running together, and FunnelKit updates only its own cart via AJAX, which is why our theme cart is not updated.
Best Regards
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Whilst the Funnelkit cart works well, it does not work when using the navbar footer mobile menu (which uses the woodmart cart). Which is why we are keen to get the woodmart to work with the funnelkit cart.]\
This is why funnelkit suggested that woodmart theme needs to listen to the AJAX remove-from-cart action so the menu cart can update dynamically without a page refresh.
Is this possible or not?

Hello,
Please try to add the following code to the child theme >> functions.php and check if it works.
add_filter( 'fkcart_fragments', function( $fragments ) {
ob_start();
woodmart_cart_count();
$fragments['span.wd-cart-number'] = ob_get_clean();
return $fragments;
} );
Best Regards.
Hello,
Thank you and we added the code to our UK subsite in the staging site.
Whilst the cart count is now correct, the price is not cleared after the cart item is removed.
Please see the video to see the issue (cart on the left is Funnelkit and cart on the right is Woodmart).

Hello,
Please replace the previous code with this one.
add_filter( 'fkcart_fragments', function( $fragments ) {
ob_start();
woodmart_cart_count();
$count = ob_get_clean();
ob_start();
woodmart_cart_subtotal();
$subtotal = ob_get_clean();
$fragments['span.wd-cart-number'] = $count;
$fragments['span.wd-cart-subtotal'] = $subtotal;
return $fragments;
} );
Best Regards.
Thank you. That fixed the issue. We got there in the end.
Are you able to incorporate this snippet into your future Woodmart updates for compatability with funnelkit cart so we don’t have to run ithe code outside of woodmart?
Hello,
Yes, we will add this fix to the theme in the next update.
Best Regards.
