# HELP – Product w/ Multiple Attribute/Options ?

 * 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;

 * 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.
