Notes #
- Weight, volume, and dimension types read the values on each product’s Product data > Shipping fields. Products with no dimensions contribute nothing to those totals, and virtual products are skipped for volume, length, width, height, and area.
- Global limits are stored as
alg_wc_oma_{min|max}_{type}; per-product and per-user limits use the meta key_alg_wc_oma_{min|max}_{type}. - You can restrict the
product_catandproduct_tagcounts to specific terms with the “Terms to include” and “Terms to exclude” options on the General tab.
