How to Modify Cart items count in WooCommerce?

PHP

In WooCommerce, you can show distinct product items in the cart. One can also display respective quantities for each distinct product item. For instance, your cart contains 2x “Product1” and 4x “Product2”. In such scenarios, the counter will display 1+1=2. It would not display 2+4=6. In other words, it will display the total distinct item quantity rather than cart quantities. So, in this article, you will learn how to modify cart items count in WooCommerce.
