I put the following code in the child function.php and it did not work. I put the same code in the main theme function.php and it worked perfectly …
Please advise
```
add_action('woocommerce_check_cart_items','check_cart_weight');

function check_cart_weight(){
    global $woocommerce;
    $weight = $woocommerce->cart->cart_contents_weight;
    if( $weight > 30 ){
        wc_add_notice( sprintf( __( 'You have %sKg weight and we allow only 30Kg of weight per order.', 'woocommerce' ), $weight ), 'error' );
    }
}
```

Hello,

Have you activated the child theme on site (Appearance > Themes)?
Try to check if this function does not work at all from child theme, you may just echo ‘some text’; in the function to see if it works. If so then it could be wc_add_notice function causes the problem and try to add next strings
```
add_action('wp_ajax_add_transfer', 'check_cart_weight');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_add_transfer', 'check_cart_weight');
```
If the problem woun’t be solved, provide temporary wp-admin access and describe in more details how to recreate (what dares to do to see how it works).

Regards

On your site, the active theme is the parent theme https://prnt.sc/j90esu
If you make changes in the child theme and want to see an effect of changes, you need to activate the child theme on site.
