Variable products showing all possible product combos (even nonexisting)

  • Hi,

    This is still happening with variable products in WP5.4 & WooCommerce 4.0.1

    If a product has multiple variations and only certain variations use some of the attributes assigned at the product level all variations still include the additional attributes not assigned on the front-end though variations for that specific product variation does not exist.

    Scenario:

    Product has the following configuration.
    ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
    Colour attributes: Black and white.
    Size attributes: small, medium, large and x-large
    Black attribute variations include: small and medium.
    White attribute variations include: small, medium, large and x-large.

    If a user selected the White product variation, sets the size to say x-large and then decides to change the colour to Black, the users “size” option is still set to x-large and could still change the selection to large also.

    This should not be possible if a user changes the selection and a variation option does not exist for the new selection, the child options should default to “Choose an option” select/radio etc. item.

    Any known solutions or workarounds as this is a major user experience killer as it stands currently, and exceptionally confusing for the user?

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

  • I have same issue so I post here

    Let’s say I have a product with 3 variations

    ID 0001 – Brand-1 | Including Box

    ID 0002 – Brand-2 | Any Attribute Options

    ID 0003 – Brand 1 | Any Attribute Options

    The problem is, in front end if I select the first attribute (Brand 2) then second dropdown box (Package) still have the option to select “Include Box”, but there is not product with such configuration.

    This does not have logic, even if I add a new option to “Package” attribute like “No Package” when I choose Brand 2 will still show both Options.

    I need to hide the second dropdown box and allow Woocommerce to add product in the cart if there is not any option set for “Package” attribute.

    Thanks a lot.

    Did you get a solution for this?
    I have a similar problem and have found nothing that works!
    Seems like such a simple thing to have missed at the woo commerce end??

    This fix has been round a long time. I just tested it with Storefront and WC 4.1.0 and it still works for me.

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold', 'ww_ajax_variation_threshold', 10, 2 );
function ww_ajax_variation_threshold( $default, $product ) {
  return 60; // set to your max variations
}

    If it doesn’t work for you, try the conflict test. Switch to Storefront and deactivate all plugins except WooCommerce. It should work now. Reactivate one-by-one to identify what is causing the conflict. Post back with your finding.

    @lorro. Thank you for responding, I did the conflict test. Turns out it was the official Stripe plugin! ???♀?
    Not ideal, I’ll try some of the others see how it goes..
