# Variations Issue

 * Hello WooCommerce Support Team,
 * We are currently using WooCommerce version 8.9.2 and have encountered an issue
   with variable product variations in the backend.
 * **Issue Description:** When configuring a variable product, everything works 
   fine up to a total of 30 variations. The frontend dropdown options display correctly
   according to the specific configurations. However, if we add more than 30 variations,
   the dropdown options start showing all variations instead of the specific options
   selected.
 * For reference, please see this video: [Video Link](https://capture.dropbox.com/AnTqxooxOyAxg4JC).
 * **Steps Taken:**
    1. Increased `memory_limit` and `max_input_vars` in `php.ini`.
    2. Regenerated the “Product attributes lookup” and “Product lookup tables”.
    3. Tested with the default WordPress theme and no other plugins activated.
 * Despite these steps, the issue persists.
 * Could you please guide us on how to resolve this issue?
 * Thank you for your assistance.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fvariations-issue-10%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi there [@robertmurdock153](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertmurdock153/),
 * Thanks for reaching out.
 * This issue you’re encountering is a known limitation of WooCommerce.
 * By default, if a Variable product has fewer than 30 variations, the dropdowns
   for selecting variations on the frontend will be dynamic. However, if there are
   more than 30 variations, the dropdowns will be static and will display all attributes.
 * To resolve this issue, you can increase the AJAX variation threshold with the
   help of custom code. You can do this by adding a custom code snippet to your 
   theme’s functions.php. You can find more details about this from [our detailed guide here.](https://woocommerce.com/document/change-limit-on-number-of-variations-for-dynamic-variable-product-dropdowns/)
 * Please remember to back up your site before making any changes.
 * Let us know if you have any other questions or if there’s anything else we can
   assist you with.
