Woocommerce Version 2.4.1 has disabled Variations

This has been resolved in Woocommerce 2.4.2 which was just released.

My Variable Products are now correct in both the front and back ends.

I have got same problem it does not allow to choose an option from customer side if in variations from admin dashboard i set up specific colour or size. for example, if i leave any colour and any size drop down from customer side appears. I would really like to get some help to fix this issue!

Thanks!

For me the fix was renaming this file, to remove the override while the theme author updates the template with this file.

templates/single-product/add-to-cart/variable.php

Still no luck after Woocommerce 2.4.2 update. Forgot to mention i use polylang plugin and I just notice that one of the language do not have this problem only other 2 does.
Maybe any suggestions how to fix this issue? I would really appreciate that!
Thank you!

@milkzore
what name did you use?
you rename variable.php for what name?

thanks!!

@yadiihair I just renamed the file to variable.php_pending_update_from_theme_developer

As a reminder that I need to update the file when the theme developer release a new version of the template, but you just can use variableOLD.php or whatever.php the rename process just revert the file override from woocommerce core files to template woocommerce files.

sorry for my tarzan english.

@milkzore thank you!!!

@milkzore
I rename the file in my theme directory and didn’t work for me, the add to cart option disappeared from my product page, I have to maintain the original name of the file.

Just to make sure: I have the templates on my theme directory and on the plugin directory. I modified : wp-conten/theme/woocommerce/templates/single-products/add-to-cart/variable.php

or should i modify: wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-products/add-to-cart/variable.php

the first one didn’t work for me.
Thank you for helping!!!!

I’m also having this issue:

I tried the suggestions in this thread (updating to 2.4.2, removing theme overrides), but no luck so far.

Switching to a different theme fixes the problem, so it’s definitely a theme conflict. I just can’t figure out what the root cause is, since there aren’t any error messages.

For me all 61 variations in one product were broken with the error: “Sorry no products matched your selection, please choose a different combination”. Product support told me my variations were written screwy and tested a single variation from a copy of the product page to prove their point. However, this is not the case. These variations were working perfectly before updating to 2.4. On the advice of Product support, I deleted all 61 variations (hours of work to create) and began to re-assemble them. I think I know what the defect is. For me, up to 20 variations will work fine, but if you add variation #21, none work and you get the above error. I believe this is caused b the new pagination functionality added with 2.4. I’m pretty PO’ed. I’ve lost 3 days of sales on our most popular product, spent hours trying to fix it, and PS tells me to remake my variations! Switching themes did not work for me. Way to go QA. Ticket #323275

NOT resolved!

Hey guys, any resolution to this?

Our business relies on WooCommerce and as a result of this latest update it has shattered our ecommerce store.

It would be great to get some resolution on this other than “It works on WooThemes, no problem”.

Ecommerce sellers are getting axed from your buggy update, and it sucks. Please fix it.

Graham + co, please read the sticky thread at the top of the forum. If a theme bundles an old, broken version of a file responsible for displaying variations we cannot do anything about it. It’s overridden. It takes over from our code.

Thats why you need to find out if its the theme (or a plugin) and chase the devs for updates. Developers had plenty of warning to test their code, and 99% of the time overrides are not even necessary.

I’ve had problems in the past with woocommerce updates particularly with themes that are no longer supported :-(.

In these situations (also if theme updates are slow) I usually wait a week, backup then updated the plugin. After that I review my system report (woo), anything flagged as out of date I then do a compare between the woocommerce plugin and theme adjusted files.

e.g.
plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-products/add-to-cart/variable.php

theme/woocommerce/templates/single-products/add-to-cart/variable.php

After a bit of fiddling around bringing through plugin updates into the related theme file I can usually get things going again. Worst case scenario bring through the full plugin file.

hope that helps someone.
