Single Variation Issue

Hi Guys any update on this?

Is really important for me to get this working, is standard ecommerce and cant launch clothes shop without it.

To help you illustrate the problems I found with with the shop /archieve page I have attached 2 images.

the 1st image:
shows how single variation should work.
And how it turns out in my test, with 4 identical images for size S, M, L, XL

There need be an option for not create all variable in search result as it totally smashes the user exeprience.

The 2nd image:
show how the variable product originally worked before your new feature.
I could live with that also as long as filter work.

and image displayed in filtered result would match the input.
link in my example when i click purple color filter show the pink.

1 – That really not a well thought through update, and would be useless for majority of people who want build a e-commerce site.
Are there any plans on updating this in version 7.0.1

2 – Yes I see that can work.
However doing a bit research I see this feature is BIG update from WooCommerce v6.3 and that I really increases performance speed and also made up for some bugs showing out of stock products.

1 – For your information, actually not all. For instance the Iconic plugin does deal with it differently
https://iconicwp.com/products/woocommerce-show-single-variations/

2 – A question more for this “Table usage”
Should I understand this like your latest update 7.0.0 don’t work with the Woocomerce 6.3 that is a significat performance booster
or why am I ask to disable the box?

3 – Do you have any documentation on how to use
Product > Linked Variations?
Is not clear for me what is about and how is done?

I really like your theme, however for whoever is serious about WooCommerce living with these 2 issue, that you latest 7.0 update forced.

So let me try explain again if I was not clear before.
I have attached a new illustration, showing the difference between how Woodmart now handles variation vs how for example the Iconic plugins handles variation.

Issue 1 – No options to choose which variations to show on the shop page, filtered results, search results, featured listings, or none of the above.

While is good to expand the catalogue when you have few products. No one wish to repeat the same image again again.
Just Imagine Nike have 12 identical images for their shoes. (they have 1 for each color but not 1 for each size)
No profit making e-commerce platform do that.

Issue 2 – Shop filter does not work unless I deselect table usage option.

You sell your theme as being lightning fast. But what you ask me for disable is the WooCommerce v6.3 update which I have read is considered one of the most significant speed performance ever in WooCommerce.
This update reduces the number of server request dramatically.

I hope you will make this high priority for your next update. Rather adding more nice to have features fixing this is as must have something that really will impact the conversion rate.

I’m stuck and somehow need find out how to revert this and use the Iconic plugin if you cant resolve it..

Hi Artem,

1. Okay look forward to see that
2. From what I can see the Iconic plugin manage to do it. Variations with Lookup table.
I have the feature checked marked for catalog filtering in a test version, please see external link. So unless the plugin overwrite my selection its possible.

3. How do you suggest I move forward until one day you release something Ican use. What would be the best for performance?

a) Should I use iconic plugin with an older Woodmart version? (6.5.4)
b) Or should use iconic plugin with latest Woodmart version 7.0 version then there are two codes regarding variations?

Okay so instead of show single variations, now I’m trying to just use linked variations.

I have added 2 test products and linked them all is fine on product page.

However i have issue with filter on shop page:
The color filter works fine but the size filter does not work at all.
(The size L variation of both the white and blue test product are not in stock. but applying the L filter on shop page they still shows in stock)

I have send you the log in information for test page please have a look in extra information

The test page I made is just latest WooCommerce version and your Theme with the WP bakery selected.
Beside of that there are no additional plugin functionality added.

So what you tell me is that if I like use variation like S,M,L,XL for a product and no attribute, then neither your filter or WooCommerce filter are able to tell what products are is in stock or not?
