 * Thank you for this great plugin! I am trying to change the error message that’s
   currently shown on the cart page when too many items have been added. I found
   the text in your .pot file, and I’ve replaced it with mine, cleared caches, but
   I’m unable to display the updated text. Do I need to make a change in another
   file? Appreciate your thoughts. [current cart error message](https://bit.ly/329xzX3)
   and the [.pot file](https://bit.ly/3a8QaqA)

   to generate a new .po and .mo files in English. Still no luck. Thanks for any
   pointers you can provide.

 * Hello,
 * If you use Limitations, then you can change text for in on Limitation edit page-
   > Text tab.
    Option “Use local text” must be enabled.

 * Thank you for your suggestion. I tried using Limitations, added all of the products
   that I wanted to limit to a max qty of 12. However, it would only allow (1) item
   with a qty of 12 in the cart. I was unable to add any other item without getting
   an error message. Additionally, this broke our shipping rules as it may be a 
   higher priority rule. Not sure. We have complicated shipping rules based upon
   zip codes. All of these shipments are made by dump trucks. What does seem to 
   work best is setting the maximum quantity of 12 at the product level for each
   product that I wish to limit to 12. It allows for multiple products to be added
   to the cart, which allows for separate shipments (as the shipping rules are calculated
   correctly) from the same order, and the shipping rules are not broken — as [seen here](https://bit.ly/3abprJU).
   I’d like to change the default error message in [both of this instances](https://bit.ly/3diQK7e)
   to my custom text, but for whatever reason I cannot get it to display. I have
   added my text as shown in the screenshot and uploaded the updated .po and mo 
   files into the min/max plugin folder under license. I removed the 2 RU files (
   [seen here](https://bit.ly/3uPepBV)). Here is what the [translated .po file looks like](https://bit.ly/3g9OYH7).
   Is there something I’m doing wrong?

 * Again I would like to thank you for your plugin. I was able to customize the 
   text using the [Say What?](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/) plugin. Have
   a wonderful day!!
