How to Exclude Attributes / Variations
Some shops have shirts with 2 variation attributes – one for the color and one for the size. That would for example be 20 variations if you have 2 colors and 10 sizes (10 x 2).
An example here, you can see the size variation displays for each T-Shirt:
But most of the time you only want to show one attribute variation (e.g. the color one). To do this enable the following settings.
Exclude attribute in Plugin settings
- Make sure you have clicked on init variations. Try reset before.
- Go to plugin settings > variation title > exclude the attribute you do not want to show in the title (e.g. pa_size)
- Go to to plugin settings > exclusions > choose the attribute you want to hide.
- Enable “Keep First Variation” and “Remove Term from Permalink” if you want
This will remove all variation products, that are assigned to a size attribute. So if you enable this you will see no products anymore maybe.
This is exactly what i did and thats good. But the problem is that when the customer add a product to the cart, he doesnt see the size attribute, so he can buy the wrong size. Is it possible to exclude attributes variation only on the shop page ?
How do you make this work and ensure that all the options can still be viewed? Example: I have 2 shirts that both come in grey, white and blue with different designs on them. They each come in sizes S, M and L. I want both shirts to show up but only one listing for each one. So I want 6 listings, one for each shirt in each color, but I don’t want multiple listings for each size. I have my site set up as you say in this article, but it is only showing 1 blue shirt, 1 grey shirt and 1 white shirt.
