I make that 20,000 variations, so the core WooCommerce plugin will need some help.
Have a look at this plugin:

I cannot guarantee that it will be suitable for your circumstances.
There are other plugins which may do a similar job. Checkout ww.wp.xz.cn, codecanyon and WooThemes, search for “product Add-ons”
Lorro,
Thanks. When I tried using the basic variation tab it came out at 27 variations and warned me that the max was 50.
But my result only showed 1 flavour. I will take a look at that addon, but basically, what you are saying is that it cannot be done without a plugin – correct?
I don’t think it can be done as you describe without a plugin.
The number of variations is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 20,000 although some will be duplicates.
You can have more than 50 variations, its just that the Link-all-variations button will only link up to 50 at a time. However, a much larger number becomes unmanageable unless you have a variations manager plugin. Your max_post_vars setting will create an upper limit to the number of variations.
If you can modify the problem and you want to work within the core WooCommerce, consider putting together say 20 hampers which you think will be popular, where you choose the mix. You won’t be able to cover all possible combinations but it will be easier for customers to make a choice.
Thanks Lorro. Another thought I just had was to have three options listed down the product page:
Hot ‘n Spicy
Traditional
Mediterranean
…. and then an empty text box beside each for custoemr to put quantaties in. It does not need to be calculated and if they added more than 9 I would simply ignore it.
Would that be possible? The three categories listed with an empty text box beside each one? How could that be done?
