    I’ve tried variation but it tends to forced matching the attributes.
    What i’m trying to achieve is a simple product with multiple options.

    Product ABC
    Shampoo
    – 500ml
    – 800ml
    -1000ml

    Body Scrub
    -200ml
    -300ml
    -500ml

    so on, you get the idea.
    There will be several like 6 types for the single product.

    At first i tried to put them under a single attribute[named as Options] and under Options there are Shampoo[Parent Term] & Body Scrub[Parent Term] >> 100ml[Term],200ml[Term]…but tend to be crowded and messed up.

    So i tried making the Shampoo and Body Scrub as a single attribute but it just couldn’t happen since it forced to match [Shampoo][Body Scrub] as a product.

    So is there any way where i could like categorized the 500ml,800ml.. under Shampoo and 200ml,300ml.. under Body Scrub in the frontend ?

    For reference of what im trying to achieve is this link;
    http://www.fragrancex.com/products/_cid_cologne-am-lid_a-am-sid_adgm34t__products.html

    Really appreciate any advice or recommendations.

    What you want to do is pretty easy. I am going to list the steps that I took to do it.

    In WordPress Click Product>Attributes

    Add your attribute name- Shampoo
    After it is added click on the name – Shampoo
    Add you options here, and repeat with Body Scrub

    Now, make a product by clicking Add Product link in WordPress
    For product data, change to variable product.

    Now the next part if important, click the “Attributes” Tab,
    in the drop down, select “Shampoo” and click the add button

    Check the box “Use for Variations, and then click the Select All button followed by the Save Attributes button.

    Repeat it for the Body Scrub

    Now, read this next part carefully,
    Click on the Variations Tab,
    Click where is says Add Variations Button, click “Go” and do not change the drop down. It will a row, with the 2 options you did.

    Next, click the Add Variations Drop Down arrow and goto “Set Regular Prices” and click Go, and it will set them all to the same prices.

    If you want to make each one an individual price set, you will have to use the “Add all Variations” which will fill the thing with a whole lot of combinations, which you can set the price for individual.

    IF you do not set a Price, it will not show up in the product.

    But what is nice (which I am actually trying to get around) is the product window won’t let you have a buy button unless both attributes are selected.

    Hi minifiredragon, thanks for the time helping and the detailed explanation but i understood the variations,but what im trying to achieve is not matching the attributes since..

    Shampoo 500ml < single product
    Body Scrub 100ml < single product

    the link i’ve provided is the one im trying to achieve, a single product with multiple options and the options are categorized, i.e [Bath & Body] [Gift Set]

    Right now what all i could do is a single attribute with all the [Shampoo] [Body Scrub]..so on as TERMS under the single attribute but it doesn’t looks nice when all the terms combined are around 20 or more under a single dropdown.

    To put it simply, is there anyway to categorized the TERMS ?
    or multiple attributes but NOT MATCHING ?

    To add on about categorizing the TERMS, i’ve tried to create [Parent Terms] under a single [ATTRIBUTE] but it could only function for categorizing in BACKEND since itself alone can be counted as a single product when in the FRONTEND.

    After days of googling and searching through the forums, still have no idea how to do so.

    Ohh!!! Sorry, I understand now. That is exactly what I am trying to do. And from the lack of a response from anyone, I do not think it is possible.

    Here is what I did as a solution (though not the best yet) is I added an option to each one and called it “Choose A Flavor” and set it to default.

    I then wrote a jquery to change a selected option back to “Choose a Flavor” if another option is selected.

    Later I will probably do something to hide the buy button when everything says “Choose A Flavor”, and completely hide the “Clear Selection” button because I cannot get a jquery command to override the click function of the button at the moment (maybe because it is loaded after page load).

    The next problem you will see is that on the Cart page, you will have your 2 catagories listed, with one option they selected and the “Choose A Flavor” option there as well. I used jquery to hide the noise.

    BUT!!!! When you check out it shows back up again, and since it loads after my page has loaded I can not get jquery to hide the extra fields, yet.
