Range Slider for Product Attributes

Anonymous

Hi,

I can’t seem to figure out how to make the Product Meta range slider look in the product attributes. It’s able to see all of the Meta data for the products like _price, but it can only see _product_attributes and not the actual product attributes. Is this feature available with this plugin?

Thanks for your help! Search & Filter is an incredible plugin!

WooCommerce seems to have two ways of storing product attributes.

If you do the official way to make attributes, in the WC settings, they will be stored as Taxonomies. Taxonomies are textual fields and cannot be accessed using a slider, even if all they store is a number.

If you make attributes the unofficial way (on-the-fly – whilst you are editing a product and in the attributes section) they are made as meta data (custom fields) and can be accessed by slider.

Why does WooCommerce do this, I do not know?

Okay. Great. Thanks for the help. I didn’t know about that. Custom fields work great. WP All Import makes it very easy to add attributes and custom fields to a product.

Thanks, again.
