Example: We have a product (wine type) and three variations of that wine. Each variation is made from a different grape. We have your filter plugin which can grab categories/tags/attributes. We want to be able to create a filter by grape variety. We cannot assign a category or tag to a variation? Is there another way? Can we create an attribute to add to each variation? Sadly because this synchronises with our till system we cannot change that variation structure. We have a plugin that already that shows variations as single products on the shopping page, but we need to be able to filter the grape varieties. Categories and tags only apply to parent products. Any ideas?
Hello
Unfortunately my plugin can not manage data. This is a filter that queries the database to get products. The taxonomy that a variable product can have is an attribute. This means the filter can make a request only by the attribute to the database to get the products.
Also I'm not sure if my plugin is fully compatible with this third party plugin ("already that shows variations as single products on the shopping page")
Ahhh, thanks Pablo, I understand. I assume all will be fine filtering by category and tag given to parent products on the site though?
It just won't pick up on the variations individually because their attributes aren't in the database.
Hello
These attributes are in the database. But the problem is that a variations of product is a different post type. And search and display works for a different type of post.
