Adding multiple images to WooCommerce variation gallery is a great way to show off different product options, or even to provide additional product information. By default, WooCommerce only allows you to add a single image to each variation.
However, with a little bit of custom code, you can easily add multiple images to WooCommerce variations.
Here are the steps to add multiple images to WooCommerce variations:
- First, edit the WooCommerce product that you want to add multiple images to.
- Next, select the “Add Variation” button and then select “Multiple Images” from the dropdown menu.
- You will now see an “Add Images” button for each variation. Click on this button and select the images that you want to add from your media library. Once you have selected all of the images that you want to add, click on the “Update” button.
And that’s all there is to it! You have now successfully added multiple images to your WooCommerce variations.
Note: If you want those additional images to be visible on the front-end of your website, you will need to edit your theme’s code.
The above steps are the simplest way adding multiple images per variation with no coding required however if you are comfortable editing code then there are a few other ways this can be done as well. Read on for those methods.
Option 1: Use a Plugin
If you don’t want to edit any code yourself or mess around with complex setup processes, then using a plugin is probably the best option for you. One plugin we recommend is WooCommerce Variation Gallery. This plugin is designed specifically for adding multiple images to WooCommerce variations and it offers a wide range of features and customization options.
Option 2: Edit Your Theme’s Code
If you don’t mind editing some code, then this next method may be a better option for you. To start, you will need to edit your theme’s functions.php file and add the following code snippet:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_styles' );
function enqueue_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' ); }
This code snippet will ensure that your child theme inherits all of the parent theme’s stylesheet code. Next, copy over your parent theme’s single-product.php file into your child theme folder and edit it as follows:
?>
You will need to replace “single-product” in the code snippet above with whatever template file name is used by your parent theme for displaying single products (e.g., “content-single-product” or “product”). Once you have done that, save and close the file.
Option 3: Use Custom Code
If you want full control over how your gallery looks and functions, then using custom code is probably your best bet.
