Change variable product price from “From: $” to a price range ($$-$$)?

That is indeed a very old WooCommerce version! I understand the reluctance to update, because indeed many of your plugins might not get along with a more up-to-date version.

That said, you might want to see this as an opportunity to modernize your store and the plugins you are using. Outdated software is a real risk, especially if you are taking payments from your customers.

My recommendation would be to start looking for up-to-date plugins that work with WooCommerce 3.x and once you have found options for all your current requirements, you can create a new shop with up-to-date software and migrate your data once that new shop is finished.

Hi,
Thanks for your answer.

This leads me to the question if I can set a price range in the newer versions of WooCommerce or even select the price that is shown on the shop page.
Right now it shows the lowest variable price possible.

Yes, you can do that with a bit of customization. This tutorial explains how to use a code snippet to change the display: https://calebburks.com/modify-variable-product-prices-in-woocommerce/

You can add the snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file or use a plugin like Code Snippets if you do not want to change the functions.php directly.
