Is not working. Cart update still requires an "Enter" on a quantity field to be updated. Nothing changed. Upd: The issue was in theme. Plugin is great, thank you!

This plugin has a function to undo the product even if the product is deleted from the update cart button on the cart page. This is a unique feature of this plugin that is not in the default woocommerce features. Very kind to customers 🙂

This plugin displays an unhidable nag notice on the wp main dashboard. The notice has a link saying "Dismiss for 90 days" and the notice goes away after you click on that link, but it comes back way sooner than the said 90 days. It is more like 90 hours after it appears again. Even 90 day feels too frequent for me so this is very annoying. This is a violation of WP guidelines, which is unacceptable. Please read here: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/#11-plugins-should-not-hijack-the-admin-dashboard and here: https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/required/explanations-and-examples/#selling-credits-and-links WP defines dismissable notices like this: Notifications such as admin notices must be dismissable. This means that the notices should not only be closed, but hidden permanently when the “Dismiss” link is closed. Please review and remove this annoying nag notice as soon as possible!
