Troubleshooting Common WooCommerce Price and Quantity Display Issues

If you run a WooCommerce store, you've likely encountered issues where prices or quantities don't display or behave as expected. These problems can range from filters not working to decimal quantities causing errors. Based on community reports and solutions, this guide covers the most common price and quantity display issues and how to resolve them.

Common Price-Related Issues

1. Price Filter Widget Not Working
Users often report that the price filter widget becomes stuck at minimum or maximum values. This is frequently a theme compatibility issue rather than a core WooCommerce problem.

Solution: Test with a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty-Four. If the filter works with the default theme, contact your theme's support team for assistance. Clear your site and browser cache as a first step.

2. Manually Adjusted Prices Reverting
When editing prices directly in orders, some users find that adding or removing items causes prices to revert to their original values. This is expected WooCommerce behavior - the system recalculates the entire order when modifications are made.

Solution: After making changes to an order, avoid adding or removing items. If you must modify the order, be prepared to readjust prices manually afterward.

3. Bulk Edit Prices Not Saving
Some store owners find that bulk editing prices for variable products doesn't work as expected.

Solution: Currently, you can only bulk edit prices for variations within a single variable product, not across multiple variable products simultaneously. Use the bulk editing feature from within individual variable products.

Common Quantity-Related Issues

1. Quantity Input Field Too Narrow
When customers try to order quantities of 100 or more, the third digit may not display properly in the quantity field.

Solution: Add this custom CSS to your theme:
.woocommerce .quantity .qty { width: 4.5em !important; }

2. Decimal Quantity Conflicts
After updates, some stores using decimal quantities encounter issues where order status cannot be updated from the order page UI, though API updates work fine.

Solution: This appears to be a compatibility issue between WooCommerce updates and decimal quantity plugins. Check your decimal quantity plugin's support forum for updates, or consider temporary workarounds like using bulk actions or the API for status updates until a fix is released.

3. Quantity Buttons Not Working
The "+" and "-" buttons to adjust quantities may stop functioning, requiring manual entry.

Solution: This is often caused by JavaScript conflicts. Disable caching temporarily and test. If the issue persists, switch to a default theme to check if it's theme-related. Also review browser console for JavaScript errors that might indicate plugin conflicts.

General Troubleshooting Steps

For any price or quantity display issue, follow these steps:

  1. Conflict Test: Temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme and disable all plugins except WooCommerce. If the issue resolves, reactivate elements one by one to identify the conflict.
  2. Clear Caches: Clear your site cache, browser cache, and any CDN caches.
  3. Check Logs: Review WooCommerce → Status → Logs for any error messages related to your issue.
  4. Test Updates: Ensure all plugins, themes, and WordPress core are updated to their latest versions.

Many display issues stem from theme or plugin conflicts rather than WooCommerce itself. By methodically testing and identifying the source of the problem, you can usually find a solution or workaround that restores proper functionality to your store.
