Hello @Goostaf
You can try to add next custom snippet in your child-theme/functions.php
add_filter('xstore_wishlist_product_query_args','__return_false');
Kind regards, Jack Richardson

Dear @Goostaf,

We hope you are doing well.

As you may have noticed, the wishlist button no longer contains an href URL. Given this, we are unsure of the source from which Google has crawled these URLs.

Please note that our support team is available to assist you in resolving any issues related to the XStore theme. However, optimizing SEO scores falls outside the scope of our standard support services.

We appreciate your understanding.

Best regards,
8Theme Team

Unfortunately, these links are still popping up in the console, is there any other hook? Maybe they are pulled from the cart, from the wish page or from cards?

Please contact administrator
for this information.

Dear @Goostaf,

We hope this message finds you well.

Following your inquiry, we have reviewed the source code and, unfortunately, we were unable to locate the ?add_to_wishlist string.

For your reference, the relevant file associated with this functionality is located at:
/wp-content/plugins/et-core-plugin/packages/xstore-wishlist/xstore-wishlist.php

We kindly suggest double-checking the file to confirm.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Best regards,
The 8Theme Team

Dear @Goostaf,

Thank you for reaching out.

Regarding your inquiry, the “Add to Cart” links are generated by WooCommerce. To modify these links, please follow the steps below:

1. Copy the following template file from the WooCommerce plugin directory:

- /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/loop/add-to-cart.php

2. Paste it into your child theme directory at the following location:

- /wp-content/themes/xstore-child/woocommerce/loop/add-to-cart.php

3. Once the file is in place, please locate the following line of code:

esc_url( $product->add_to_cart_url() ),

4. Replace it with:

'#',

This change will update the “Add to Cart” link as intended.

We hope this helps. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
The 8Theme Team

Dear @Goostaf,

We kindly suggest exploring a solution on Google’s side rather than modifying the URL structure within WooCommerce or the XStore theme.

One possible approach could be to exclude URLs containing “add-to-cart” from being indexed by Google. You may find the following resource helpful in this regard:
– https://support.google.com/webmasters/thread/144972419/question-about-add-to-cart-links-in-woocommerce-websites?hl=en
– https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/137271/do-add-to-cart-links-with-nofollow-in-woocommerce-hurt-seo

We hope this information proves useful.

Best regards,
