Biggest opportunity: Swap “cart” and “woocommerce” for “quantity field” and “max quantity”. “cart” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “quantity field” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “woocommerce” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “max quantity” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 69.8K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,166 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Hi, Basically satisfied with the plugin as it delivered what it mentioned. Just a minor bug that in [Cart Page] Desktop version the [Plus] and [Minus] Button will be stuck together (i.e. [Plus] in the top and [Minus] at the bottom, instead of [Plus] in left of [Quantity Field] and [Minus] at the right of [Quantity Field]. I tested it in local clean environment where only wordpress 6.3.1 and woocommerce 8.0 are installed (i.e. no more any other plugin related to frontend is installed) Hope can fix the bug and appreciate your effort.

Tried 2-3 other plugins before this, all the other ones have styles that can’t be dequeued and are hard to override in my theme. This plugin just does what I need, leaves me to style it how I want which was quick and easy. Perfect, thank you!

Hi, I really like the plugin. However I had to rollback from the last update (from 1.14 back to 1.13). On the shopping cart page suddenly the number displayed as purchased amount was 0. The total price was still correct though. Any known issues? UPDATE: no longer an issue in 1.15. super fast problem resolve by plugin maker This topic was modified 6 years, 3 months ago by dyin.

Worked perfectly and it was easy to apply css styles to fit my theme layout

Tried a host of other plugins to fix a dodgy theme where the add to cart quantity buttons were missing and only displayed the product name. This plugin fixed it straight away, not messing around with settings…It JUST WORKS : ) If you are having issues with your plus and minus quantity buttons in woocommerce this is the fix you need. Great work
