What's going wrong
Many owners say the compare button stopped working after an update. Some see it spin without adding the item, some see raw shortcode text on the page, and others see a JavaScript error that blocks the button from working. One owner traced the error to an outdated function that newer versions of jQuery no longer support. Theme and plugin buttons appeared side by side and both failed. Store owners with product grids lose comparison sales when the button silently fails. A simple monitor that clicks the button after each change and reports stalls would catch this before shoppers complain.
