Title: Product variations help Last modified: November 30, 2016 --- # Product variations help * [Will](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dorzone/) * (@dorzone) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-variations-help/) * Hi all, I would really appreciate some help here as I’m fairly new to using Woocommerce. * Does anyone know if it’s possible to have certain variations for certain products but not others? * For example, I’m trying to set up a product which is a course you can attend. The courses are run in various locations on different dates i.e. Cambridge on the 9th August & Harpenden on the 10th August & Leeds on the 25th July. Is it possible, and if so what is the best way to do this? * Currently, it’s showing all the possible dates as options when I select the different Variations from locations. * I will very much appreciate any help on this. * Thanks in advance.

Please could you post the url of the page. * Thread Starter [Will](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dorzone/) * (@dorzone) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-variations-help/#post-8499437) * I did them individually to make 7. You can see the product here which I’m using to test. It’s currently set up with two variations.

The styling is a bit off in that the select box shrinks when an option is not available, but I think that’s a side problem. The page works more or less how it is supposed to work. I don’t think you have a bug. What you could do is temporarily load up the Storefront theme, this is a WooCommerce theme. You will see slightly better behaviour for this test product. You will also see a useful “clear selection” option, so you can start over. However this is missing from your theme’s template. But basically its not brilliant. * I think what I would do is scrap the current attributes and variations. Instead have just 1 attribute. This would be the course details, and each term would contain both location and date. eg: Course details: Cambridge on 14th August | Caterham on 19th August | London on 25th August | etc Then what you will get is just the one dropdown showing the available options. * Thread Starter [Will](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dorzone/) * (@dorzone) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/product-variations-help/#post-8501216) * Thanks Iorro. That’s they way I was thinking I’d have to do it. Shame it’s not possible with the current system to allow it to work the way I need. * Anyway, thanks very much for your help.
