    How can I make the Linked Variations products that I set up in the backend appear on the product page?
    Right now, after I set up Linked Variations, clicking on a single product doesn’t change anything; it doesn’t link to other products with same Attributes.
    Furthermore, after I selected the attribute to update, when I clicked to enter the corresponding Linked Variations again, both boxes for the attribute were empty. It cannot save the selected attribute.

    Please, contact administrator
    for this information.

    Hello, Howie,

    We would like to inform you that linked variations are available only for simple product types and not for variable products. This limitation is in accordance with the standards established for this functionality. Please find below the procedure for creating such a product:

    1. Create Product Attributes:
    – Go to the “Product Attributes” page in your Dashboard.
    – Create the required product attributes (e.g., color, size) that will be used for variations.

    2. Configure Attribute Values:
    – After creating the attributes, define and configure the possible values for each attribute (e.g., red, blue for color; small, large for size).

    3. Create or Modify Simple Products:
    – Create new simple products or edit existing ones.
    – Assign the appropriate attributes to each product. For example, if a product is available in different colors and sizes, ensure that each variation is represented.

    4. Assign Product Attributes to Variations:
    – For each product, set the attributes that will be used as variations. Ensure that each product variation is assigned at least one value from each relevant attribute (e.g., Product 01: color – red, size – small).

    5. Cover All Attribute Combinations:
    – Repeat the process to include all necessary attribute combinations. Ensure that every possible combination of attributes is represented by at least one product variation. For example:
    – Product 01: color – red, size – small
    – Product 02: color – blue, size – small
    – Product 03: color – red, size – large
    – Product 04: color – blue, size – large

    6. Create a New Linked Variation Group:
    – Go to the “Linked Variations” or a similar section.
    – Create a new linked variation group to combine the related products.

    7. Set Up Products and Attributes for the Linked Variation:
    – Within the linked variation group, add the products you have configured.
    – Select the attributes that should be linked across these products.
    – Ensure that all products and their variations are properly linked based on the selected attributes.

    8. Review and Finalize:
    – Review the linked variations to confirm that all products are correctly associated and that the user experience is seamless when switching between variations on the product page.

    Best regards,

    I couldn’t achieve this using the features you provided, but I could with other plugins.

    Hello, Howie,

    Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
    To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Best Regards,
    8Theme’s Team

    Hello,Friend,
    How can I make it so that when I click on the attributes of a Variable product, the selected attributes are automatically added to the end of the product title, and the URL of the page changes accordingly? thanks a lot.

    Hello,
    To do this, you need to create the corresponding variation in the linked variations and assign it to the product. A separate product must also be created for each of these variations, as described in the instructions above.
