Cart Total Cache Issue

et_show_cart_total() showing same value even if we clear the cart on home page header even if all oher pages showing correctly

The issue with `et_show_cart_total()` displaying the same value even after clearing the cart on the homepage header while working correctly on other pages can occur due to caching. Since you're using caching plugins like **W3Speedster** and **WP Super Cache**, the homepage might be serving a cached version of the header that includes outdated cart data. Here's how to address this:

### Steps to Fix:

1. **Exclude Cart Data from Caching**:
– Dynamic data like the cart total should not be cached. Check the settings of W3Speedster and WP Super Cache to exclude pages or elements that depend on cart data.
– In WP Super Cache:
– Go to **Settings > WP Super Cache > Advanced**.
– Add the `?cart` or the homepage URL to the list of "Rejected URLs" to prevent caching for pages that display cart data dynamically.
– In W3Speedster:
– Look for settings related to dynamic exclusions and exclude cart-related cookies or scripts if applicable.

2. **Enable AJAX for Cart Updates**:
– Ensure that `et_show_cart_total()` uses AJAX to fetch the cart total dynamically, especially for pages served from cache. Verify that your theme (if custom) or plugin includes the necessary AJAX calls to refresh the cart.

3. **Disable Homepage Cache Temporarily**:
– Temporarily disable caching for the homepage to confirm if the cart data updates correctly without caching. If it works, refine the cache settings to resolve the issue.

4. **Clear Cache**:
– Clear both the plugin cache and browser cache to ensure you're not viewing stale data:
– In **WP Super Cache**, clear the cache via **Settings > WP Super Cache > Delete Cache**.
– In **W3Speedster**, clear the cache from its settings.

5. **Debug the Issue**:
– Add “ to a test template to confirm if the function is being called dynamically or using cached data.
– If caching is ruled out, check if the function fetches stale data from the session or database.

6. **Check Theme Overrides**:
– If you're using a child theme, check for overrides in `header.php` or equivalent templates. A hardcoded or static implementation might bypass updates to the cart total.

### Advanced Debugging:
– Inspect the developer console (F12) on the homepage to see if any JavaScript errors or cache headers are causing the cart total to remain static.
– Test using logged-out and incognito sessions, as caching behavior may differ for logged-in users.

By addressing these steps, you should be able to ensure that the cart total dynamically updates across all pages, including the homepage. Let me know if you need further assistance!
