3. FAQ and How to?

This is the FAQ and How to section? If you are having issues check these guides!

Q: How to use the plugin properly?

This plugin is all about customizing your attribute selectors for your products, making them prettier and easier to use, significantly improving your shop's User Experience. Custom Product Attributes created via Edit Product page won't be used, but you can always compensate that with Custom Options. Do not use Custom Attributes added directly to products, but use the registered attributes from your Products > Attributes. Once you have setup everything you can navigate to the WooCommerce > Settings > Improved Variable Product Attributes and setup and style your attributes. Some theme's we've tested will not work with default IVPA settings, so if you experience any issues, be sure to check the Theme Specific Installations for integration with your Shop/Product Archives.

Q: My variable images do change, but colors/images are not the ones that should be shown?

In the 3.0.2 version we have added the option Image Changing Attributes. This means that you can now select which attributes will change the image, so if your variable products are not set in the correct order you can use this quick fix. Just select which attributes, when selected, will change the image. A note that you can select multiple attributes in the multiselect option Image Changing Attributes by using CTRL+Click. If this does not solve your issue, because you have multiple image changing attributes, then your variable products are not set in the correct order and because of this it might seem buggy. Here is a screenshot of correctly set attributes for the product you can find here. What does the correct order means? It means that your default image should correspond to every first attribute term. So, in this case our first variations will be Polo and Blue as the first default product image is Blue and Polo, but when the Regular variations start we will also need Blue at first, so that wrong image will not be shown. Basically these are the simple rules, nothing else :)

Q: We have a stepped selection functionality, how do I enable it?

To enable the stepped selection you will just need to navigate to your IVPA options WooCommerce > Settings > Improved Variable Product Attributes and under the Advanced Settings check the Step Attribute Selection option.

Q: Customers can add products without attributes, how can I fix this?

At first, you will need to check the option Disable Attribute Deselection in the Advanced Settings in your WooCommerce > Settings > Improved Variable Product Attributes settings page. Then you will need to setup your default attributes for your products, then the attributes will be selected at first page load and the deselection will not be possible, because it was restricted in the IVPA settings.

Q: Translations, WPML and Improved Variable Product Attributes

Improved Variable Product Attributes supports WPML multi language plugin for WordPress. Using this plugin managing multilingual sites is easy. Before starting this procces make sure you have the WPML software installed on your WordPress installation. More on WPML ( WordPress Multilingual ) see at this link http://wpml.org/.

Make sure you have the following software installed before continue: WordPress, WooCommerce, WPML, WooCommerce Multilingual and the Improved Variable Product Attributes.

• WPML - WordPress Multilingual get it here http://wpml.org/
• WooCommerce Multilingual - Plugin that enables full WooCommerce translation support for WPML get it here https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/

First steps are to have a functional site in one language, then start with the translations. Install WPML and WooCommerce Multilingual. For step by step instructions on translating your shop with these two plugins please visit this link https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/.

Translation files for the Improved Variable Product Attributes are in the /translations/ folder in the full plugin archive you have downloaded from http://codecanyon.net. If your language does not exists in the folder follow next steps to translate the plugin. Also use Poedit to update your translations.

• 1. Get Poedit App. http://poedit.net/download
• 2. Run Poedit. Navigate File>New catalog from POT file. Fill in the basic fields, set your country, language.
• 3. Translate the strings by clicking on a sentance and filling in the textarea bellow. If strange characters accure like %1$d, just ignore them and make a translation in between including these strange characters.
• 4. Save your file as ivpawoo-**LANGUAGE**.po **LANGUAGE** represents your language code. For instance if you're translating to Italian your language code is it_IT and the file name should be ivpawoo-it_IT.po ( language codes: de_DE (Germany), fr_FR (France) etc.)
• 5. Upload the .po and the .mo file generated by Poedit to your WordPress installation in the /wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder If the folder does not exists create one.
• *** If you have already translated the file with the previous IVPA version, copy the .po file in your unzipped local copy of IVPA in the /lang/ folder (if it doesn't exsist just create one) and rescan the plugin for new and merging strings!
• WPML - WordPress Multilingual get it here http://wpml.org/
• WooCommerce Multilingual - Plugin that enables full WooCommerce translation support for WPML get it here https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/

If the translation file in your language exists just copy it to your WordPress installation in the /wp-content/languages/plugins/ folder and the Improved Variable Product Attributes will be automatically translated.

WPML and the Improved Variable Product Attributes support one another and the full plugin translation is quite easy to achieve. If you have followed all previous steps and made your site multilingual then just a few special translations for the Improved Variable Product Attributes need to be added. Just follow these guidelines to achieve the full translation.

• 1. Your attributes need to be translatable. To do this navigate Products > Attribute and check the translatable checkbox for the attributes that you need.

  

• 2. Use WooCommerce Multilingual to translate your attributes. When you do that click the Synchronize attributes and update product variations button.

  

• 3. Navigate to your IVPA options WooCommerce > Settings > Improved Variable Product Attributes and set attribute customizations for the default language. When you use a language switcher from the admin bar, you will get customizations in different languages. All languages must be set separately. You do not need to set the other options for different languages, but the customizations are required for all languages. Use the switcher and save each language customization settings separately.

• 3.1 Set your default language settings

  

  3.2 Then switch the language, your settings will be empty, and set them up again in different language.

  

• The common IVPA plugin settings that are not a part of the attribute customizer are not set when changing languages. It only affects the customizations.

• PLEASE NOTE: All your language customizations need to be setup in order to appear on the frontend! Also make sure you have synchronized attributes and updated product variations from your WooCommerce Multilingual Attribute Translation Manager.

When you have completed all these steps your customized attributes will fully support the WPML - WordPress Multilingual plugin. Thanks for using the WPML and the Improved Variable Product Attributes!

Q: IVPA plugin common Admin Side issues?

If you are having issues with saving errors, 500 error pages or similar, you should navigate to your WooCommerce > System Status to check your settings for the php_memory_limit, here is a link https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/increasing-the-wordpress-memory-limit/ and max_input_vars. If these are low and you do have a lot of options saving might fail, and much more too!

Q: I am using caching option for better performance and I just want to clear the cache, how to do that?

All product caches are cleared on plugin updates, activation and deactivation. Also when you save the IVPA settings the caches will be cleared. When saving products, caches for the saved product will be cleared too!

Q: My option for Enable/Disable AJAX Variation Add To Cart on single product pages does not work, what is the problem here?

If your theme messes with the default WooCommerce structure this setting might not work. Sometimes it does not work with other custom plugins too. Usually disabling this option does resolve all issues. AJAX will not be supported then in this case, but at least everythinig will work as expected.

Q: I want center aligned attributes selectors. How do I do this?

We have added an option for that! Do not use any CSS codes and just go to the IVPA settings and set the Attribute Alignment in Archives to Center, Right or Left according to your preference.

Q: Can a backorder notification be shown on IVPA selectors?

Yes, of course, go to the IVPA settings and check the Backorder Notification Support. When this option is checked, all products that have their Allow Backorders? setting set to Allow, but notifiy customer will show a small (!) icon that will alert the customers about it. If you set the Allow Backorders? to Allow or Do not allow for your variable product, then the (!) will not be shown.

Q: How to force plugin installation in themes?

When everything fails and you cannot install it in any way. Find your your-theme/woocommerce/content-product.php and your-theme/woocommerce/content-single-product.php and insert following codes in those files where you would like the IVPA plugin to appear. While you are there, check the files for their structure as you might find already existing actions that are appropriate.

<?php do_action( 'my_ivpa_single_product_action' ); /* goes in your-theme/woocommerce/content-single-product.php file */ ?>

<?php do_action( 'my_ivpa_archive_product_action' ); /* goes in your-theme/woocommerce/content-product.php file */ ?>

Then set these IVPA installation settings in WooCommerce > Settings > Improved Variable Product Attributes

• Override Default Single Product Action: my_ivpa_single_product_action
• Override Default Product Archive Action: my_ivpa_archive_product_action

Q: Thumbnails in tooltips, is it possible?

From version 3.2+ you are able to add HTML/Code to tooltips and improve your selectors. Titles and descriptions support this too. So, to make a tooltip that uses a thumbnail instead of text use this simple HTML code.

<img src="http://your-site.com/your-image-path/image.jpg" />

Q: IVPA Image Switcher shows broken links on some products? What is up with that?

If you have issues with this option on some products, like broken links appearing it is because your images are not uniform. If IVPA Image Switcher option is used product featured image and product variation images must be same resolution. So, make all your variation images uniform and the option will work. For example, set a 700x1024px image for your featured image and then use the same resolution for your variable images. This way the plugin can find needed image sizes and make proper image replacements. Thanks!
