Cannot add item to shopping cart with blank theme

[maxagaz]

Hi,

On a fresh install with sample data, when I click on the "Add" to cart button, it keeps on showing "Adding..." but the item is never added to the cart with the blank theme, with Luma theme it works fine. Is it a bug of the blank theme ? How can I fix it ?

My Magento version is 2.1.3.

Hi @maxagaz,

Can you check you webserver error logs? Maybe something is failing and you can't see on your browser.

Hi Damian,

Below is the message I get from apache2 access.log when I click on the "Add to cart" button of a product :

@maxagaz,

Can you take a look on the error.log of Apache or logs on /path/to/magento/var/log?

@maxagaz,

It seems that there are some blocks or references that you don't have.

Can you test with Luma theme and check for those errors again?
