 * Hi, after few weeks of searching & fighting with plugins and code, i find this
   post:
    [http://wisdmlabs.com/blog/add-custom-data-woocommerce-order/#comment-270770](http://wisdmlabs.com/blog/add-custom-data-woocommerce-order/#comment-270770)
   About adding custom fields and values from them to single-product and order pages
   in Woo
 * And after reading this article i add this code to my mytheme/functions.php ;
 * /*
    >>> ADD CUSTOM FIELDS TO SINGLE PRODUCT <<< =============================
   ================= */
 * /* Add the field to the checkout */
    add_action( ‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’,‘
   my_custom_checkout_field’ );
 * function my_custom_checkout_field() {
 *  global $post;
    $terms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, ‘product_cat’ ); foreach(
   $terms as $term ) $categories[] = $term->slug;
 * // start if > it will add field only to product category called “c”
 * if ( in_array( ‘c’, $categories ) )
    { // Set Width echo ‘<div id=”setWidth”>
   <h2>’ . __(‘Width’) . ‘</h2>’ . ‘</br>’;
 * woocommerce_form_field( ‘setWidth’, array(
    ‘type’ => ‘text’, ‘class’ => array(‘
   my-field-class form-row-wide’), ‘label’ => __(‘Your Width (cm.mm)’) . ‘</br>’,‘
   placeholder’ => __(‘40.25’) ) ); echo ‘</div>’; }// end if
 * } // end function
 * /*
    >>> ADD CUSTOM DATA TO SESSION <<< ======================================
   == */ // Adding AJAX validation add_action(‘woocommerce_single_product_summary’,’
   wdm_enque_scripts’); function wdm_enque_scripts() { wp_register_script( ‘wdm_singleProductJs’,
   plugins_url(‘/wp-content/themes/mkplisy/js/wdm_single_product_page.js’, __FILE__),
   array(‘jquery’), false, true ); wp_enqueue_script(‘wdm_singleProductJs’);
 *  $array_to_be_sent = array( ‘ajax_file_path’ => admin_url(‘admin-ajax.php’));
 *  wp_localize_script( ‘wdm_singleProductJs’, ‘wdm_object’, $array_to_be_sent);
   }
 * // Step 1: Add Data in a Custom Session, on ‘Add to Cart’ Button Click
    add_action(‘
   wp_ajax_wdm_add_user_custom_data_options’, ‘wdm_add_user_custom_data_options_callback’);
   add_action(‘wp_ajax_nopriv_wdm_add_user_custom_data_options’, ‘wdm_add_user_custom_data_options_callback’);
 * function wdm_add_user_custom_data_options_callback()
    { //Custom data – Sent 
   Via AJAX post method $product_id = $_POST[‘id’]; //This is product ID $user_custom_data_values
   = $_POST[‘user_data’]; //This is User custom value sent via AJAX session_start();
   $_SESSION[‘wdm_user_custom_data’] = $user_custom_data_values; die(); }
 * // Step 2: Add Custom Data in WooCommerce Session
    add_filter(‘woocommerce_add_cart_item_data’,’
   wdm_add_item_data’,1,2);
 * if(!function_exists(‘wdm_add_item_data’))
    { function wdm_add_item_data($cart_item_data,
   $product_id) { /*Here, We are adding item in WooCommerce session with, wdm_user_custom_data_value
   name*/ global $woocommerce; session_start(); if (isset($_SESSION[‘wdm_user_custom_data’])){
   $option = $_SESSION[‘wdm_user_custom_data’]; $new_value = array(‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’
   => $option); } if(empty($option)) return $cart_item_data; else { if(empty($cart_item_data))
   return $new_value; else return array_merge($cart_item_data,$new_value); } unset(
   $_SESSION[‘wdm_user_custom_data’]); //Unset our custom session variable, as it
   is no longer needed. } }
 * // Step 3: Extract Custom Data from WooCommerce Session and Insert it into Cart
   Object
    add_filter(‘woocommerce_get_cart_item_from_session’, ‘wdm_get_cart_items_from_session’,
   1, 3 ); if(!function_exists(‘wdm_get_cart_items_from_session’)) { function wdm_get_cart_items_from_session(
   $item,$values,$key) { if (array_key_exists( ‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’, $values)){
   $item[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’] = $values[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’]; }
   return $item; } }
 * // Step 4: Display User Custom Data on Cart and Checkout page
    add_filter(‘woocommerce_checkout_cart_item_quantity’,’
   wdm_add_user_custom_option_from_session_into_cart’,1,3); add_filter(‘woocommerce_cart_item_price’,’
   wdm_add_user_custom_option_from_session_into_cart’,1,3); if(!function_exists(‘
   wdm_add_user_custom_option_from_session_into_cart’)) { function wdm_add_user_custom_option_from_session_into_cart(
   $product_name, $values, $cart_item_key ) { /*code to add custom data on Cart &
   checkout Page*/ if(count($values[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’]) > 0) { $return_string
   = $product_name . “<dl class=’variation’>”; $return_string .= “<table class=’
   wdm_options_table’ id='” . $values[‘product_id’] . “‘>”; $return_string .= “<
   tr><td>” . $values[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’] . “</td></tr>”; $return_string.
   = “</table></dl>”; return $return_string; } else { return $product_name; } } }
 * // Step 5: Add Custom Data as Metadata to the Order Items
    add_action(‘woocommerce_add_order_item_meta’,’
   wdm_add_values_to_order_item_meta’,1,2); if(!function_exists(‘wdm_add_values_to_order_item_meta’)){
   function wdm_add_values_to_order_item_meta($item_id, $values) { global $woocommerce,
   $wpdb; $user_custom_values = $values[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’]; if(!empty(
   $user_custom_values)) { wc_add_order_item_meta($item_id,’wdm_user_custom_data’,
   $user_custom_values); } } }
 * // Step 6: Remove User Custom Data, if Product is Removed from Cart
    add_action(‘
   woocommerce_before_cart_item_quantity_zero’,’wdm_remove_user_custom_data_options_from_cart’,
   1,1); if(!function_exists(‘wdm_remove_user_custom_data_options_from_cart’)) {
   function wdm_remove_user_custom_data_options_from_cart($cart_item_key) { global
   $woocommerce; // Get cart $cart = $woocommerce->cart->get_cart(); // For each
   item in cart, if item is upsell of deleted product, delete it foreach( $cart 
   as $key => $values) { if ( $values[‘wdm_user_custom_data_value’] == $cart_item_key)
   unset( $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents[ $key ] ); } } }
 * And this code should save typed values from input in my order pages,but it doesn’t
   work, i don’t have any errors, but there is no any values from input saved after“
   adding product” to cart
 * Maybe someone have similar problem,or can fix my code??

 * There’s already an available extension for this. If you haven’t checked it out,
   here’s the link: [http://www.woothemes.com/products/product-add-ons/](http://www.woothemes.com/products/product-add-ons/)
 * I haven’t really inspected you’re code, because it’s really a mess to look at
   in the way you posted it. Try updating it wrapped in a code tag.
 * If you still want to continue on this, I suggest checking each function by dumping
   out the values or add it on a log.
