[Resolved] Allowing attribute selection on simple products

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to create a simple product in woocommerce with multiple attributes.

Solution:

It is not possible for a simple product to have attributes. I would recommend creating the product as a variable product.

Using WooCommerce, I have a simple product with Attributes - in this case a meal (set price), with options for starter, main, dessert, etc. I have set up the attributes on the simple product, but can't find a wpv-woo shortcode to give the buyer the ability to select options. wpv-woo-buy-options gives only the buy button, because it's not a variable product; wpv-woo-list_attributes lists them, but they are not selectable. Please advise.

Hi Neil,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

If you add attributes on the default woocommerce product and display it with the default woocommerce template does it allow you to select the attribute ?

I believe for attribute selection a variable product is required .

Thanks,
Shane
