Keep the product in wishlist after the product added to the cart

Question

When I add the product to the cart at the wishlist page, the product automatically removed from the wishlist and the product was no longer in the wishlist page. Is there a way to keep the product at a wishlist after adding the product to the cart?

Answer 1

Currently, I cannot find the best solution for this case. My idea is to disable wishlist event (and then we can create our custom event):

<event name="checkout_cart_add_product_complete">
    <observer name="wishlist" disabled="true"/>
</event>

Answer 2

Here are solution which can be solved your problem:

Note: Please Override below functions which i mentioned because of best practices :)

vendor/magento/module-checkout/Controller/Cart/Add.php

public function execute()
{
   /** Comment this event */
   /*$this->_eventManager->dispatch(
            'checkout_cart_add_product_complete',
            ['product' => $product, 'request' => $this->getRequest(), 'response' => $this->getResponse()]
        );*/ 
}

vendor/magento/module-wishlist/Controller/Index/Cart.php

/** Make this change */
$item->addToCart($this->cart, true);
To
$item->addToCart($this->cart, false);

Hope this can be helpful.

Happy coding :)

Thanks
