Title: Cart Maximum not Working Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Cart Maximum not Working * Resolved [Innervates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/innervates/) * (@innervates) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/) * I’m really excited to use this plugin to make our cart look much better. * Under Cart Settings – I’ve set the “Maximum cart items:” to 10 – but I’m able to add more than 10 items to the cart, and proceed to check out with more than 10 items to the cart. * Have I done something incorrect? * We are only allowing people to purchase a maximum of 10 total items, because shipping gets out of control after that (if they want more than 10 items, they have to call us to place the order). * Thank you for the help * R.J. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022079) * I will do some tests and provide a fix if this is not working correctly with the next update. * Regards. uh * Thread Starter [Innervates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/innervates/) * (@innervates) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022145) * Okay – just wondering if maybe anyone else was experiencing this problem. * Thanks for the help! * R.J. * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022171) * Nobody complained but does not mean that there’s maybe a problem with this… The Poor Guy offers a lot of options… and probably not a lot of the people using the plugin need to restrict the shopping cart. * I will dig into this during the weekend. * uh * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022242) * Hello Innervates. * I’ve checked this and the setting works. Maybe you confuse items and item quantities for each individual item in the cart. * If you set the allowed maximum of items in the cart to 2 for example each of the two allowed items may be bought several times, e.g. first item 10 times and second item 20 times but you won’t be able to add a third item. * That’s the way it’s thought. To restrict the allowed quantities for items you dispose of additional options. * Could you please reply, if this solves your question, concerns? If there’s no response I will close this thread within the next 48 hours. * Regards. uh * Thread Starter [Innervates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/innervates/) * (@innervates) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022243) * Okay – so that’s weird then. * So the way it’s worded is weird – you might want to change it so it reads “Maximum Number of Different Product Types” – because “Maximum Cart Items” and the comment of “Maximum of items allowed” sounds like Total maximum number. See, we’re trying to find a way so that our clients can ONLY purchase 10 products total – regardless of what TYPE of products they are. Either they can buy 1 of each 10 different products, or they can buy 10 of 1 product – but only 10 maximum total. * In your example – the customer would have 30 items in the cart, that has a maximum of 2 items… so that’s confusing. * Okay – well I guess there isn’t any way for your plugin to do what I need 🙁 * On to the next one I guess. * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022244) * Why should it read Different product types? It’s not different product types, it’s different products (=items), all items/products could be of the same type. But I will check if this is confusing once again. * Coming to your needs… You want that the total sum of all product quantities does not exceed a specified amount. I will keep this one on the wish-list. * Regards. uh * Thread Starter [Innervates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/innervates/) * (@innervates) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022245) * thanks – usually a Product means an individual item. If I buy 5 Cell phones, I have purchased 5 products – even if they’re all the same TYPE of product 🙂 * Thanks though! I think I’m going to try and write this myself. * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022246) * The plugin allows you to restrict the item quantities for a product like Cell phone X. You want something else. You want that the sum of all quantities for different products can be restricted. That’s a slightly different approach. Sorry, that this is not possible right now and good luck. * Regards. uh * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022250) * Hello Innervates. * I’ve implemented the feature as I was already working on an update and the feature you asked for, will be interesting for more than one user. * Will be available in the next update that I will publish today. * Regards. uh * Thread Starter [Innervates](https://wordpress.org/support/users/innervates/) * (@innervates) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022251) * Well this is great news!

I’m going to edit the plugin so I can change what the warning message says – I’ll just have to find where that’s at. * Thank you! * R.J. * Plugin Author [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * (@ulih) * [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022269) * Thanks for your feedback. I will include a possibility to edit messages thrown by the plugin in one of the next updates as it’s not a good thing to edit the code directly. * Regards. uh Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total) The topic ‘Cart Maximum not Working’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife_ffffff. svg) * [WooCommerce Poor Guys Swiss Knife](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce-poor-guys-swiss-knife/reviews/) * 14 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [ulihake](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulih/) * Last activity: [11 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cart-maximum-not-working/#post-5022269) * Status: resolved
