You can try to add the following code to functions.php of your theme or child
if ( defined( 'YITH_WCWL' ) && ! function_exists( 'yith_wcwl_get_items_count' ) ) {
function yith_wcwl_get_items_count() {
ob_start();
?>
<a href="<?php echo esc_url( YITH_WCWL()->get_wishlist_url() ); ?>">
<span class="yith-wcwl-items-count">
<i class="yith-wcwl-icon fa fa-heart-o"><?php echo esc_html( yith_wcwl_count_all_products() ); ?></i>
</span>
</a>
<?php
return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode( 'yith_wcwl_items_count', 'yith_wcwl_get_items_count' );
}
if ( defined( 'YITH_WCWL' ) && ! function_exists( 'yith_wcwl_ajax_update_count' ) ) {
function yith_wcwl_ajax_update_count() {
wp_send_json( array(
'count' => yith_wcwl_count_all_products()
) );
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_yith_wcwl_update_wishlist_count', 'yith_wcwl_ajax_update_count' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_yith_wcwl_update_wishlist_count', 'yith_wcwl_ajax_update_count' );
}
if ( defined( 'YITH_WCWL' ) && ! function_exists( 'yith_wcwl_enqueue_custom_script' ) ) {
function yith_wcwl_enqueue_custom_script() {
wp_add_inline_script(
'jquery-yith-wcwl',
"
jQuery( function( $ ) {
$( document ).on( 'added_to_wishlist removed_from_wishlist', function() {
$.get( yith_wcwl_l10n.ajax_url, {
action: 'yith_wcwl_update_wishlist_count'
}, function( data ) {
$('.yith-wcwl-items-count').children('i').html( data.count );
} );
} );
} );
"
);
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'yith_wcwl_enqueue_custom_script', 20 );
}
This will define [yith_wcwl_items_count] shortcode in your site; place it wherever you want your counter to appear, and the plugin will do the rest
