Do you have a link? I could look at it – it could possibly be a caching issue

I disabled use of TOC and the issue went away.***

@mikejolley, Temporarily – I have had to resort to this solution of hiding it from the cart with a .css trick – but it doesn’t hide them from the mini-cart. So it shows in the cart 1 product, but the minicart has 10 items.

tr.cart_item.chained_item {
  display: none;
}

You see, I am using the chained product for inventory management of retail versus wholesale. As the attributes assigned are “bulk packs” of other variation products. A customer can choose a variation at a bulk rate, Pack A, and get 2 of each variation referenced (Pack A: 2x XS, SM, M; Pack B: 2x L, XL, XXL)product sizes (wholesale) at the variation set price (wholesale price). The customer understands this – so ultimately, This is only important for stock purposes on the individual sale versus bulk. It’s an important need to turn this off from showing up. Or a customer could possibly end up with 100’s of products in the cart for only purchasing 10 different packs. Chained products works best for this, as I have tried Composite products (but ended up with having to create a bundle product page for each pack, then finally ended up with a composite page to choose from each option): but this ended me with having to create up to 5-6 different pages for 1 product (which is way to many pages for just 1 bulk purchase product).

@mikejolley, thanks again for the response! Here is a screen shot of the current settings location: https://screencast.com/t/CRcz9unSCXeI

I looked into what you suggested about the settings, and found this article for developers. https://docs.woothemes.com/document/adding-a-section-to-a-settings-tab/

It appears I need to create a filter in my function.php child theme that will allow the setting “yes” or “no” to be allowed/changed using “sa_show_chained_items_to_customer”. I have given that a shot, but this is kind of beyond me: as I am not sure what to replace wcslider with, I was trying chained_products_add_section

Sample Code from woo docs article:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_sections_products', 'wcslider_add_section' );
function wcslider_add_section( $sections ) {

	$sections['wcslider'] = __( 'WC Slider', 'text-domain' );
	return $sections;

}

Thank you @mikejolley for the response, are you positive about this – I am not seeing this anywhere on the woocommerce settings page, to quote the document:

Note: To modify these values you can add or update a row in options table with option_name as sa_show_chained_item_price & option_value as yes / no

It appears I definitely over thought this, but where abouts would I locate this option in the settings area.

Possibly, try going to your woocommerce tools / log and reset the cache. Also, it could be your theme that hides the add to cart. But make sure all your options are selected and it may appear.. Not sure at this point

I had a similar issue in the past. If you are confident that you have successfully created your variations. I ran into a problem with YIT attribute plugin that was causing a problem with my drop down selection showing. This happened when I started using the woocommerce product bundles. I would suggest deactivating a few plugins to see if anything changes.

Another trouble shooting method could be to make sure you are creating the attributes/variables on the products attribute tab and linking them to your products. I’ve found that the custom red | blue | yellow to be faulty/not user friendly.

Hope this information helps.
