Troubleshooting

This section deals with all know issues that users have or have had and the fixes for those.

The Email Inquiry Button does not show.

See the Global Store Visibility Settings section 3

3. Apply to Logged in Users – *Tip – if you do not select this remember that you will have to log out of the site to see any setting you have made. If you don’t you won’t see them and you’ll think the plugin is not working.

If that is not the issue – in other words you have Apply to logged in users checked then try changing the position of the button as some themes may block the button from showing in the default position which is below where the ‘add to cart’ is or would be. From the Global Visibility Settings section:

5. Relative Position  – The relative position is relative to to the add to cart button position. Default is below. Choices are ‘above’ or ‘below’.

If that still does not solve the issue you have a conflict with the theme you are using. This can happen on some bespoke themes and the WooCommerce Email Inquiry & Cart Options plugin is coded to WordPress and WooCommerce codex and as such works on any Wootheme but some bespoke theme devs don’t always follow the codex.
