Variables button always showing – do not want this!!

Yup because customers were not realising products were purchasable. The button is disabled and should be styled differently. If its not, you can add styles to your theme to do so, or display:none it to hide it.

TL;DR use CSS

I dont understand. When I originally built the page, I could add a product, create the attribute and the then variations and when a customer selected their variation the price and buy button would appear!

Example: T shirt> select size> small large > small is cheaper so has different price> price and buy button appear for that variable

SO until a variable is selected the buy button remains hidden. My site used to operate like that but for some reason it stopped working and the buy button is always there

so basically i want the buy button to remain hidden until cusotmer selects tshirt size

problem: button is always showing, before the size is selected

give up. cant get this right

Thats what I mean. Customers were going to pages like this, seeing the options, but getting confused due to lack of cart button.

See point 6 https://speckyboy.com/2016/02/04/ecommerce-ux-mistakes/

If you want to old way back, you can achieve it with CSS, because when no matching variation is present the button is disabled.

Hi Mike, thank you for the response, I cannot get this to work, but I can pay via paypal if you can get it working. I have a child theme set up

I cannot get this to work

What, the styling or something else?

I just want the attribute to work, tried the css – which I am certain is where the fix applies – but the fixes i have tried do not work

maybe you should link me to your page so we’re talking about the same thing.

hi Mike, thank you for trying to help, how can I privately get as link to you?

You can leave the .com and just write the name if you wish?

thanks Stephen for finding this article.
