1. With "Add the Product without showing the Cart" NOT selected, the Continue Shopping button works as it should in all browsers on all platforms, i.e. takes me back to my shopping page.
2. With "Add the Product without showing the Cart" SELECTED, the Button also works as expected on a Windows PC.
But,
on my Samsung Android phone and tablet, it only works as expected in Maxthon browser.
In Chrome, Firefox, Opera and the Samsung browser it takes me back to my Home page.
Clearing the cache makes no difference. In particular I downloaded Opera, which I have never used before, just to check it.

OK, clearer now.
Now cleared all caches in all browsers, all devices.
"Add the Product without showing the Cart" SELECTED - The Continue Shopping button takes me to the Home page instead of back to the shopping page, in all browsers in all devices.
I understand that it will take me back to the Shop page if I DESELECT "Add the Product without showing the Cart", but surely the above is a programming error? My customers may wish to make multiple selections in the shopping page and should not have to go back and forth between the Shopping page and the Cart each time.

You might say, correctly, that with "Add the product without showing the Cart" selected, customers can choose all their items at once in the Shopping page and therefore have no need to use the Continue Shopping button afterwards. However, in real life customers change their minds and/or decide to add more items after looking at the Cart.
If the Continue Shopping button is currently programmed to point at the homepage with "Add the product without showing the Cart" selected, could it be reprogrammed to point at a page named, for example, Shop, with an addition to the instructions in the programme, that the shopping page has to be named Shop?
Hello Donald,
The default URl for the continue shopping button is always the homepage. Only if you the cart page is opened after adding the product in the cart then this button brings you back to the page from where you added the product.
At the moment there's not a function to change the standard URL for this button and I would suggest you to open an "Idea" post to suggest it for the future releases of the program so the developers will take it in consideration.
Many thanks!
Hi Donald, you can do it manually on x5cart.js file. In your project folder "preview\cart" you can f ind a file called x5cart.js, open this file, where you can find the first 3 lines, to be modified manually. Remember to repeat the procedure after every update . (Or make a copy and put into the project, overwriting the original file).
x5CartData var = {
// General Settings Cart
'Settings': {
'IndexPage': 'cart/index.html',
'Continue_shopping_page': 'http://127.0.0.1:8081/index.html',

Thanks Kris (A.?), that was easy! I've modified a few entries in various .php and .js files to get round the Shopping section's current issues, but I was hoping to avoid trawling through the files looking at all the many instances of index.html to find the right one - you've saved me some time!
