I have tested with a Joomla template and the issue is still occurring, I can't reduce quantity or remove items from the Cart.
On further testing : I've changed PHP down to v 7.0.31 because we were also experiencing problems with reCaptcha on forms, now fixed. The problem with Hikashop seems to be with the Cart. If I add items to the Cart and go straight to Checkout, I can add more and use the refresh, I can delete the items. But if I go back to 'Cart' then it has only one product displayed even though I may have subsequently added more products, and I can't change the quantity of the product that's in the cart, nor delete the product.
