Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WCBoost - Variation Swatches

Yes, it will work with any theme, but may require some styling to make it match nicely.

Yes, it does work with WordPress multisite.

By default, this plugin will convert all variation dropdowns to buttons (Of course, you can disable this feature with a single option in the Customizer > WooCommerce). You are able to change them to other swatch types. You just need to log in to the admin dashboard, then navigate to Product > Attributes menu to edit product attributes and change the type. You can change it to Color, Image, Label or Button. Then you need to edit/add attribute terms to set a color, upload an image, or set the label the present for that attribute term.

Following the standards of WordPress and WooCommerce, you can find all the settings that relate to the appearance of your website in Appearance > Customize. The settings of this plugin are in the Customize > WooCommerce > Variation Swatches section.

WooCommerce has an option to hide out-of-stock products from the catalog, it works for the variation swatches too. You just need to enable this option in WooCommerce > Products > Inventory. It is the option "Out of stock visibility".
