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.
