Hi, i have weird problem with this code: when i refresh page, the total number of items in cart will grow +1

How do I make this update with ajax automatically?

Line #26 should be
wc_get_page_id()
not
woocommerce_get_page_id()
Depreciated.

It's just what I was looking for and it works fine, thanks a lot.
Please consider updating your gist from my fork because woocommerce_get_page_id is deprecated since version 3.0, use wc_get_page_id instead.
