Product Attributes Shortcode

MEG

Nothing is displaying?

Ensure you have included the shortcode correctly and that the attribute you are using has products assigned. If nothing is still displaying the attribute name you have entered may not be in the correct format, see the related FAQ for more information.

What attribute name/format do I use?

If your attribute is a single word you just need to enter that. If your attribute has spaces in the name, replace these with hyphens in the shortcode attribute. For more complex attribute names e.g. with special characters you can determine what the attribute name is by editing the attribute in Products > Attributes, in the URL you will see something like /edit-tags.php?taxonomy=pa_example-attribute&post_type=product, the part after the pa_ and before the & is your attribute name, in this example it is example-attribute.

Why aren’t my list of terms linked?

The list will not include links on the terms if you are using archive_links="1" and the attribute used does not have archives enabled on the attribute which is set when editing the attribute in Products > Attributes.

My terms are linked but the links do not work?

Links are filter based which use your shop page (unless you are using archive_links="1"), if they are not working you may have not configured a shop page in WooCommerce, this is created during installation of WooCommerce, if it has been removed it will need recreating.

Minimum/maximum price is not working?

These are filter based and therefore require archive_links="0".

Can I use it in a page/post/widget/other?

You can use it anywhere you can use a shortcode.

Can I use it in a PHP template?

Yes, use the do_shortcode function of WordPress to echo the shortcode.

How do I style it?

You will need to apply some custom CSS styling, each list is a <ul> element with the class wcpas-product-attributes. To target specific attribute lists we have also included unique IDs.
