Hi there!
The item column was removed because it was a performance bottleneck — without this, the loading time is greatly improved. If you really want to add this back, then here’s how you can do it: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/woocommerce-3-no-purchased-column-under-orders/#post-8995518
This code should be added to your child theme’s functions.php file or via a plugin that allows custom functions to be added – such as [My Custom Functions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/my-custom-functions/) or [Code Snippets](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/) plugin. Please don’t add custom code directly to your parent theme’s functions.php file as this will be wiped entirely when you update.
Cheers!
Ya, I had read they removed it. Thank you! This worked perfect. Just put it in my child theme functions.php. Now I just to to write something so I can switch it off when not needed so it keeps it faster, and just switch it on when I need it. I use it to quickly go through orders to get a count of certain items per day for a spreadsheet.
