Create a variable product, set your variations and link them logically and see how the variation select appears or disappears on the front end. This plugin works with WooCommerce, so be sure to have WooCoommerce installed before you install this plugin. After that create variable product with variations, save it and then set your links in the ‘Linked attributes’ tab in the ‘Product Data’ meta box. ** Created using the best coding practices and latest standards ** ## Screenshots [⌊First set your product as a variable one.

This plugin's settings data does not work with that import/export feature. THANK YOU FOR BUILDING THIS. It would be great if you could add the product's Linked Atrribs to the CSV export via a meta data column.. as so we can include link-attribs during CSV import. THANKS BUD. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eb24e04cda107f4371faef524867bcadf047ba0ea8b21a27711a59db065b3dc9? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-5266/)󠁿 [xoxgregxox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xoxgregxox/) December 22, 2017 1 reply Congratulations for this plugin!
