Creation of attributes

YITH WooCommerce Color and Label Variations allows you to create custom attributes for your product variations.
In this page, we will configure attributes together step by step, so that the way to do that will be as clear as possible.

Click on Products > Attributes and you’ll see a page like this.Add new attribute

To create a new attribute, you have to fill the following fields:

  • Name: name of the attribute displayed in the front end
  • Slug: slug of the attribute (maximum length: 28 characters)
  • Enable Archives: enable this if you want this attribute to have product archives in your store.
  • Type: attribute type. Besides standard WooCommerce types, the plugin adds attribute types: Colorpicker, Image and Label.
  • Default sort order: order to sort attribute terms

In the example we are going to show you, we have chosen “colors” attribute.

Configuration of terms

Once you have created an attribute, you have to add variations of it. Click on the button shown to enter the first variation.

Add new colors

To add a new color, specify the following required options:

Color options

  • Name: color name (shown in frontend)
  • Slug: slug for attribute variation
  • Description: description associated to the attribute variation, shown in the front end
  • Colorpicker: choose the colour you want to assign to the current attribute variation using a colorpicker.

In our example, we have entered the following colors:

  • black
  • blue
  • grey
  • orange
  • purple

Colors

You can create new product variations directly from the product detail page.
Open a product and, after adding an attribute, click on Add New to add a new variation.

Add new

In our example, the attribute type is “colorpicker” and, therefore, in the modal window that opens we will have to add colours for the new variation.

New attribute term

Add attributes to the product

To associate the attribute “Colors” to the product, do exactly as you would do for any other attribute belonging to WooCommerce types.
Add the new attribute and values in the section Attributes on the product page.

Product attributes

Once you have configured product settings through the created color attribute, we will see something like this on the product detail page.
