    I have a bunch of variable products already on my site, yet when trying to create a new product that needs to be a Variable product, the drop-down box to create the variable product is not there. Is this a plugin issue?

    Hi there!

    Is this a plugin issue?

    Yes, I would say it is. It’s typically a plugin hooking into the Product Data tab and causing trouble.

    The best way to determine which one is to:

    • Temporarily switch your theme to Storefront
    • Disable all plugins except for WooCommerce
    • Repeat the action that is causing the problem

    This is best done on a staging site. That’s a copy of your live site, so you can test things out without making changes to your actual site. Some hosting companies offer a staging site service within their hosting plans. If yours does not, there is a great free plugin that will allow you to build a complete staging site with a few button clicks: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging.

    If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict. You can find a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here.
