Color swatch doesn't show up in product grid

Hello,

I followed your guide and even watched the video. It should work. I did exactly the same. But everything what is shown is only the word of the color on the product itself. No swatch under the product.
I will attach a picture so you know what I mean.
If you still need to check the site, I will see what I can do.

Hey,

no. I don’t want to disable them. I wan’t the color swatch to be displayed under the product like it’s showed in the example picture of woodmart.

Okay so I try again.
It’s ALL activated, checked what needs to be checked. I changed the design in Theme seetings > Shop > Product Styles too.
Yes, I did.
I made a picture for you, so you understand what my problem is. Please review it and help me.

Hello,

I already did that as I said.

I did. I configured all 7 colors. See picture.

I don’t know which colors you looked at, but the ones I want to show, are configured. The attribute is titled “color” and contains 7 colors.

Elise, I beg you. I configured all colors. I did that already a few weeks ago. There are only 7 colors. And those are configured. You’ve got the access and you can check it yourself. I did it.
Please look at the picture I send you now.
You will see that the slug is correct, that I configured all colors (7) and that I also checked all important boxes.

If they wouldn’t be configured, the filter in the sidebar to filter colors, also wouldn’t show colors. But they do. As you can see in my second picture, too.

Hey,

no, not exactly. I set the attribute “color” because I want those to be shown. Since there are more than 50 colors in “Farbname”, I can’t them alle to be shown. So I picked basic colors like green, blue and 5 others and put them in “color”. Those colors are the colours which should be used to filter the products and which should be shown unter the product like I show you in my last posts.

However I linked all products to BOTH of these, as you can see in my image. So a shoe got the “bluewashed” “Farbname” but also the attribute color “blue”.

Why? Because if you pick the color and size of the shoe, there can be variable blue tones which couldn’t be picked, if I only got “blue”. So there need to be the specific color term.

But there would be just too many colors in it, if I would want to filter these.

So a product got the attribute “Farbname” with several colors which should be pickable on the single prodct page but got also the attribute “color” (which only has 7 colors in it) which should be filterable.

Hey,

but the products still need the “Farbname” attribute since those are the names of the color from the procut.

Just to be clear and sum up again:
All products will have 2 attributes based on colors.

One attribute is the actual color how it was named from the designers and is the color which needs to be sold on. So if it’s a darker white, it’s probably “offwhite”. Is it a greyish blue, it could be “smokey blue” or something. Those colors NEEDS to be displayed on the product single page in the dropdown to select which color you want to buy, like the size dropdown too. Since we got severeal blue colors for example, we can’t just name it blue. Because which blue is it then? Our merchants know the difference so it needs to be named as the actual color.
This one here is set as “Farbname” at the moment. As you see, there are plenty of colors. More than 80 different colors.

BUT
since there are so many colors, it would be ridiculous if we used all of them to filter the products. To simplify this, we chose 7 basic colors. Every of these 80 colors are set to a basic color.
smokey blue -> blue
dark blue -> blue
offwhite -> white
etc.

So these 7 basic colors (set as attribute “color” and are also defined and checked to show as swatch) are the one I want to be filtered on. If they choose red, I want to display all redish colors.
THIS WORKS! The filter option in the sidebar widget works fine!
I chose the layout/style of the product where under the product picture all colors are seen as a small swatch icon. You already got pictures on the top of this thread where I showed you this.
Here is the problem. I don’t know why but there is no swatch on the products but there are just words of the color. There’s also a picture earlier from me. So if the product got colors which are set to red, blue and white there is a word on the product which says “red, blue, white” but as word, not as swatch.
So the filter works fine and it knows what to show, but it shows the color as word. I want it to be shown as swatch.

Hey,

that doesn’t work too. I already tried something like that. It doesn’t matter which settings I set, it’s not possible for me to get the colorswatches under the thumbnail like it’s shown in woodmart product styles.
I created a test article to test your suggestion. Without any other color attributes. Only the basic colors. It still shows the words and not the color swatch as icon.

Feel free to try it out on my page and get it to work. Test Article product link in private content.

That’s just what I wrote. I created a test object and did that.
