I have a blob on the top that displays the total number of items in the cart, I want to update thi

Answer 1

I have not used woocommerce before but one pretty simple option when you say in your post:

When I visit this page it echos the current item totals, but I cant get this data from JQuery

...would be to use a user-sided JavaScript variable for the display, and then just call the PHP update methods for adding items to your cart using AJAX (which I do not show below because you have not provided that code).

cart->get_cart_contents_count()
    $woocommerce = 59;
?>
Add to cart





    

You can copy and test this snippet on: http://phpfiddle.org/

Basically in the above code, I set the PHP value as a paragraph text on page load and then read that value into a JS variable to mess around with the data on the client side of the application and then I update the display text as needed.
