Different number of product attributes

    Hi there!

    In my little shop I have products with handles made of wood and handles wood with leather.
    Only the leather ones have a second attribute – the color of the yarn (planned).
    If the customer chooses just wood he has to do an unnecessary (and perhaps confusing) second step. To choose yarn color “none”.

    Is there a possibility to hide this attribute when there is not a possibility to choose at all?

    Thanks and regards

    If a second attribute isn’t needed, then you don’t need to make the 2nd product a variation but a simple product.

    Hi @oaoyadeyi!

    Thank you for the answer.
    But I guess I wasn’t able to describe my problem…

    I have one product.
    One variation is wood handle – no further attribute needed.
    One variation is handle with wood and leather. There are 2 variations – sewed with black yarn and sewed with grey yarn.

    Or as a diagram:

    One product A

    A1
    A2 – A2.1
    …..- A2.2

    Is this a clearer description?

    thx’n’rgds

    You can’t hide attributes like that unfortunately.

    What you could do is have a variation set like:

    Handle – Wood : Yarn Colour – None

    That will only show the ‘None’ option on the product page so the customer cannot choose anything else.

    But, are you going to add any other yarn colours? Because if not then you only need the one variation with 3 options:

    Handle – Wood
    Handle – Wood/Leather Black Stitching
    Handle – Wood/Leather Grey Stitching

    Hi @seank123!

    Thank you – although a little disappointing^^

    Your first solution is like I did it. Not nice but ok.
    The second solution looks fine if it’s really just for a few variations. And products! The next step would be black handle – 5 yarn colors, red handle 3 yarn colors… No way ??

    How do I make a feature request???
    I guess I’m not the only one who would like his store look more… professional… at this point.
    Like a WP Menu with different submenus and sub-submenus. You only see the possibilities when choosing adult menu point.

    Hi @laser1ulm

    You may want to look into a variation plugin that uses conditional logic such as below:

    https://pluginrepublic.com/wordpress-plugins/woocommerce-better-variations/
    https://www.themehigh.com/product/woocommerce-extra-product-options/

    How do I make a feature request???

    You can make a request on our Ideas Board – this is where our community can share their feedback or requests for change to any of our plugins or services.
