Color swatches

Hi.
How can colour swatches be disabled in product single view? I would like to use the default dropdown for colours also.
Thanks.

Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not possible. You can have either swatches or drop-down on both product grid and product page.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Best Regards

Maybe you misunderstood.
I want to use the default dropdown instead of swatches.
How can I disable these swatches?
Thanks.

Hello,

You need to enter each attribute item and disable swatches. Actually, follow this instruction vice versa: https://xtemos.com/docs/woodmart/variable-products-swatches/

If you need further help, please let me know. Insert your site credentials into the Private content under the message box, and advise which attribute you want to revert back. I will show the steps with screens.

Best Regards

I don’t have Enable Swatch ticked on any of Color attributes.
Some of them have only Color Preview value.

Hello,

Please, provide your site admin access (insert the site credentials into the Private content block under the message area).

Best Regards

Here.

Hello,

Which attribute you have wanted to change, please provide the product page URL. I have checked the Size, it is drop-down.

Please have a look at the screen -you need to enter each attribute item and disable the swatches option:https://gyazo.com/ce75367d3c0e1a2809e748bcece226c8

Please enter and check all the attribute items.

Hi.
It was in my first post.
I want to show Color attribute as a dropdown.

Hello,

Please check which attribute create the variable product https://gyazo.com/1b95f39525311281688bd7445630fa09

Then enter each attribute item https://gyazo.com/c18d8b4303f3b2b57e5b5cafdbbd38d4 and remove colors, images and disable swatch if you have enabled in any: https://gyazo.com/5e0ab1506400746f4bff1a7f4c552220

As soon as you press “Configure items” you will see which attributes should be edited, the drop-down appears after all the attribute items would be “clean”

If you need further help, please let us know.

Best Regards

Tested in DEV site. Yes, if all colour attributes in use for a certain product have the colour value emptied in admin, it shows the default select dropdown.
It is confusing though, “Enable swatch” option clearly marks that when this is unchecked, the colour attribute shouldn’t make any difference.
Imagine: I want to use the default dropdown for all colours. I would have to clear the color code value for all of them and when I change my mind, I would have to fill in all the color codes again. Instead of just ticking a checkbox.
I consider it as a bug and would suggest this behaviour be changed.

Hello,

“Enable swatch” enables the variations as a text. And as soon as you add color and image variations get either as color or image, depending on the settings.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

Best Regards

Hello.
Thanks for the clarification, I understand now. I will copy the colour codes to a separate field for backup.
Take care!

You are welcome! We are here to help.

Wish you a wonderful day!
