[Support request] How to increase variations in woocommerce products?

[Jorge]

Hi.
I do not have knowledge in informatics and codes
but I need to increase the variations of my products to 500 but I can not find a code that works well
they could help me with a code to increase the variations of my products
Could you tell me where to write the code?

I’m uploading the information a little bit later to pass it to elementor

Hi there,

Not sure if I fully understand.

Can you guide me to the page in question?

I don’t see any WooCommmerce products in the site you linked.

Let me know 🙂

[Jorge]

I have not published anything yet.
because I need to increase the variations is
say put 500 different prices to each product.
I will expose my need:
I sell Panama hats, I use 3 attributes for each model
Size: 11 options
Quality: 15 options
Tape color: 3 options
in a total of 495 options
for this, I need 495 variations in each model
because the attributes make prices vary
default woocommerce have 50 variations
but I’ve seen pages that work with more variations
with 66 I could also upload my products, which would use categories.
but what I want is to increase those variations

I’m starting with the products but I’m using a child theme
generatepress
I know this can be increased by using codes
but I do not know what works with the theme
nor where do you put the code

[Leo]

What code did you find?

Should be the same code regardless which theme you are using as the function is all handled by WooCommerce plugin itself.

I would assume it’s PHP so can be added using one of these methods:
Adding PHP: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

[Jorge]

use this code in function php
<?php
function ww_ajax_variation_threshold( $default, $product ) {
return 50; // increase this number if needed
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold’, ‘ww_ajax_variation_threshold’, 10, 2 );
?>

and this one too

define (‘WC_MAX_LINKED_VARIATIONS’, 500);

  but in none, it was not complete.

Try the function suggested here:

under what line of code should I write it? that is the code of the blog that you sent me

This is an image of the theme editor

Add this code:

function custom_wc_ajax_variation_threshold( $qty, $product )
{
    return 100;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold', 'custom_wc_ajax_variation_threshold', 10, 2 );

Using one of these methods:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-php/

Don’t modify the theme’s core files. Code Snippets plugin is the easiest way.
