I've got it set so that when "add to cart" is pressed, the customer remains on the same page whilst the popup displays and the cart is updated via AJAX. When the first item is added I get a message in the popup "Message The cart is empty", first, followed by "Product successfully added to the cart", then the continue shopping and checkout buttons. I don't really want the message saying that the cart is empty to display, since I've just added an item to the cart - any thoughts?

That's because your template is not displaying messages on its main page: [ www.hikashop.com/support/support/documen...tibility-issues.html](http://www.hikashop.com/support/support/documentation/61-hikashop-compatibility-issues.html) It's only displaying them in popup mode (in the component.php file). The best is to configure your template to display messages on its main page but you can also remove the display of messages from the popup mode. - [ ![h5b18aa2.png](/forum/attachment/11557) ](/forum/attachment/11557 "h5b18aa2.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/11557?download=1 "h5b18aa2.png") The following user(s) said Thank You: [ximbo](/forum/user/25614-ximbo "View ximbo's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzg2MDYzNi1jYXJ0LWlzLWVtcHR5LW1lc3NhZ2Utb24tYWRkaW5nLWZpcnN0LXByb2R1Y3Q/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[ximbo](/forum/user/25614-ximbo "View ximbo's Profile")** - [![ximbo's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/25614-ximbo "View ximbo's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/25614-ximbo) Less More - Posts: 34 - Thank you received: 1 - - 13 years 2 months ago [\#117359](#117359) by [ximbo](/forum/user/25614-ximbo "View ximbo's Profile") Replied by *[ximbo](/forum/user/25614-ximbo "View ximbo's Profile")* on topic *[Cart is empty message on adding first product](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/860636-cart-is-empty-message-on-adding-first-product#117359 "Hi - I'm getting an issue with the popup when adding my first item to the cart.
