Think i found out your problem, it’s probably because you selected “Custom Product Attribute” on the product data. Select your attribute from the dropdown and it should start showing your preset values.

Since it’s working fine for everyone else, probably it’s just your plugin issue. Either your other plugin or your wooCommerce itself, so you should try deactivating all plugins and see it works or reinstall your WooCommerce.

Have you created terms for the Attribute ?

Hello Sam, You could do that just by category

All your Waterproof Jackets under a single [CATEGORY]
You should install a search plugin i.e Yith Ajax Search ;
where one could search items under a certain category.

As for filtering, comes [ATTRIBUTES]
You could see at your own provided image, the left sidebar is the Attributes, You should then create Size, Colors as [ATTRIBUTES] so when people click on the Category[Waterproof Jackets] , they could filter out just the right size and colors they want.

Put it simply, [ATTRIBUTES] is the options of the product while [CATEGORIES] is the basket of the products. So there’s no VS since they should work together.

If this clears up your questions, please mark it as resolved.

Heyy it’s you, i think what you’re trying to achieve is almost similar to mine, a CLEAN frontend for the variations.

Not sure if helps, but for your opposite issue, could it be that you’re ticking [Manage Stock?] for the parent product ?

because the [ADD TO CART] shouldn’t appear when NOT SELECTING anything from dropdown.

To add on about categorizing the TERMS, i’ve tried to create [Parent Terms] under a single [ATTRIBUTE] but it could only function for categorizing in BACKEND since itself alone can be counted as a single product when in the FRONTEND.

After days of googling and searching through the forums, still have no idea how to do so.

Hi minifiredragon, thanks for the time helping and the detailed explanation but i understood the variations,but what im trying to achieve is not matching the attributes since..

Shampoo 500ml < single product
Body Scrub 100ml < single product

the link i’ve provided is the one im trying to achieve, a single product with multiple options and the options are categorized, i.e [Bath & Body] [Gift Set]

Right now what all i could do is a single attribute with all the [Shampoo] [Body Scrub]..so on as TERMS under the single attribute but it doesn’t looks nice when all the terms combined are around 20 or more under a single dropdown.

To put it simply, is there anyway to categorized the TERMS ?
or multiple attributes but NOT MATCHING ?
