Possible problems for more than 50 variations ?

Could you check the PHP Variable Manager tool in your cPanel and add those changes to it recursively (apply to subfolders too):

max_input_vars to 10000

Hi Hristo, thanks for the reply, but I am quite sure how max_input_vars is related with my question.

Here I am asking that, there is a default limit in woomcommerce, which doesn’t let users to create a products with more than 50 variations. (ex: red xs t-shirt is 1 variations, blue xs t-shirt is another variations, and maximum number I can have like this is 50).

I wonder the reason behind this limit, because at the moment I am creating variations using a plugin, and sometimes I am creating products with more than 50 variations. This is why I am looking for the reason of this limit woocommerce set, and if it will be problem for me if I don’t take precautions.

Sorry for typo, I meant “I am NOT quite sure how max_input_vars…” in above post. Why there is no edit option here. Whatever.

Well, that’s the limit people usually hit when they do too many variables for a single product, because they are passed on each save.

50 or 100 won’t be a problem using the standard WooCommerce systems. If you’ve written something yourself, it’s a lot harder to tell as no one else knows what you’ve done.

As a reference, I’ve done two sites for a company that sells furniture, so they have a lot more options than you do. The record so far is one product that has somewhere just over 5,000 variations, while most products come in with anywhere from 100 to 1,000 variations. The site still works fine, the admin area works, and the only difference to workflow is that they use import and export to manage the variations as doing it manually would be jsut way too time-consuming.

Oh, and when you say…

Here I am asking that, there is a default limit in woomcommerce, which doesn’t let users to create a products with more than 50 variations.

That’s not stictly true. What is says is that it will create the next 50 items. So if a product has 100 variations, you need to generate the variations twice. If it’s got 130 variations, do it three times, etc. That does work as expected, and a little bit of patience will give you all of the variations that you need.

Hi there,

As other users have advised, there is no hard limit in WooCommerce for the number variations that can be created. If you’re using a plugin to create variations, that would be outside of the core WooCommerce functionality and you’d want to address any issues with the developer of that specific plugin.

i have site each product 20 – 300 variations with this vps
80GB Disk Space
5TB Bandwidth
4 CPU Cores
8GB RAM

still super slow am talking 23sec for page load

i wonder how @catacaustic solve it

@was955 If you’ve got those sorts of resources available and you’re getting load times like that you need to talk to your hosting company to see what the bottleneck is. Servers can be configured in many (many) different ways, and for people that know what they are doing, tuning one for WordPress is a fairly standard process.

And remember… 4 CPU’s doesn’t mean much when there’s no specs behind it. Could be 4 x Rasberry PI’s or 4 x top-level Xeon chips. The difference there would be immense. Same with RAM. On top of both of those, it’s really the I/O speed of the motherboard and networking interfaces that will make or break a server.

So what are you telling me the solution is with very strong vps or dedicated server!!

What was you spec for the client?

They are running a VPS that is 4vCPU’s and 16GB of RAM. So it’s really not much difference to what you have. As I said, the configuration of the server isn’t the biggest deal, it’s how it’s tuned for I/O, queries, etc that makes the difference. You really need to talk to your hosting comapny as they are the ones that can help you.

Can you please tell me what hosting company are you using this n the client website?

??

Sorry, but no, I won’t say anything about that. I’m not going to do promotions on here, even if it’s aksed for like this. That’s something that is frowned upon by the moderators.

At least please tell me on private this is my email [email protected]
