How Do I Add a Color Attribute in WooCommerce?

Last updated on January 19, 2023 @ 1:41 pm

There are two ways that you can add a color attribute in WooCommerce. The first way is by using the default WordPress interface, and the second way is by using the WooCommerce Attribute Manager.

Adding a color attribute using the default WordPress interface is pretty straightforward. Simply go to Products > Attributes, select Color from the dropdown menu, and then click on the Add button.

You will then be able to enter in all of the different colors that you want to offer. Once you have added all of the colors, don’t forget to click on the Save Attributes button.

If you want more control over your attributes, or if you want to be able to add other types of attributes, then you may want to consider using the WooCommerce Attribute Manager plugin. With this plugin, you can add as many attributes as you want, and you can even create new attribute types.

To use the WooCommerce Attribute Manager plugin:

  1. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Go to WooCommerce>>> Attributes. You should now see a list of all of the available attributes.
  3. To add a new color attribute, click on the Add New button.
  4. Enter in a name for your attribute, and then select Color from the dropdown menu.
  5. Click on the > Add Attribute> button.
  6. You will now be able to enter in all of the different colors that you want to offer. Once you have added all of the colors, don’t forget to click on the “Update Attributes”.
PRO TIP: When adding a color attribute in WooCommerce, be sure to check the product’s image to ensure that the color is accurate. Otherwise, you may end up with products that have the wrong color, which can be frustrating for customers.
