Markup : +20 – the description taking over title on options

Yes, this is a problem with the plugin. The theme you are using pulls up the attribute description, and the ‘Description Behavior’ setting only applies to the product description, not the attribute description.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any workarounds. This is going to require an update to the plugin, and that will take a few days. I hope to have a new version out to you the first part of next week.

Thank you for pointing this out.

Thank you for the response… Didn’t expect this fast ??

Sure, will wait. Until then I will comment out it in plugin src

Cheers.

That should work until I can get a better fix in place. I’ll save you the trouble of hunting for it. Comment out line 229 in markup-by-attribute-for-woocommerce/src/backend/term.php

228            // Update term description so markups are visible in the term list
229            // $description .= PHP_EOL . ATTRB_MARKUP_DESC_BEG . $markup . ATTRB_MARKUP_END;

Afterward, you can just remove the markup information from the attribute descriptions, and the rest should take care of itself.

After a quick round of testing, I modified the post above to comment out a different line. Please try commenting out line 229 rather than line 242.

I have released Version 3.10. It should correct your markup-in-the-description problem.

The reason the markup was in the description is so that it would be visible in the admin attribute list view. I was not aware of any themes or plugins that used the attribute term description, so I (carelessly) reused the field. Version 3.10 remedies the issue by creating a sortable Markup column in the attribute list.

Version 3.10 does not, however, remove any preexisting markup notations from the description upon installation. You will still have to open each marked-up term and click the [Update] button. Version 3.10 will remove the notation as it updates the term.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mark,

Thanks for putting this plugin together. It’s super helpful!

I have a similar problem to the one described above even though I have version 3.10.1 of the plugin: I save the attribute description as “10 inches by 10 inches”, but when I click “update”, the markup is automatically added and it becomes “10 inches by 10 inches (Markup: +[value])”

I’ve tried removing and re-installing the plugin to no avail. I also tested creating a new attribute, but it had the same problem. Any ideas/input on why this is happening would be appreciated.

I have no idea how that’s even possible. When you edit an attribute, the table of terms on the right should have a sortable Markup column. If it doesn’t, then there’s some sort of version issue.

Nevertheless, I have a new version (3.10.3, for WordPress 5.9, WooCommerce 6.1.1, and PHP 8.0.15) that I’m testing right now. I should be releasing it tomorrow. I’d suggest upgrading to that when it’s available, and let me know if it resolves the issue.
