No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    Light & nice plugin! But could you please add missing hook from default woo template: single-product/add-to-cart/variable.php ??? do_action( 'woocommerce_after_variations_table' );

    This plugin worked out of the box and I now have radio buttons instead of the standard drop down options. My motivation for adding radio buttons is that a customer phoned the owner of the website and was confused that they didn’t know how to make a purchase because it wasn’t obvious an option needed selecting. So now with the options under the customers’ noses at all times this confusion will not arise. So thanks for this free plugin that did the job instantly. It saved me a few hours in implementing this myself. All I had to do was add a teensy bit of CSS to neaten up the display – basically I just vertically aligned the td.label to top and added some padding right and that was it: voila! Thanks!

    Nice simple plugin that works right out of the box; easy to add a little styling via CSS. However, only 3 stars from me (using Divi theme) because it also displays product variations that have been disabled at the WooCommerce product level, and with no plugin settings area (and 100s of products I’d need to edit) there seems to be no way of turning that off so I’m unable to use it. Maybe it should be called WC Attributes Radio Buttons? This topic was modified 4 years, 11 months ago by essjay88.

    The plugin works perfectly. It managed to convert the field to radio buttons without harming anything. Wonderful

    Plugin not working. He broke the entire structure of the goods for me, even if the plug-in is disabled, the standard selection of the drop-down list does not work, the product cannot be selected at all and added to the basket too. Update the plugin, please, and I will change my review.

    With WooCommerce subscriptions the variations remain in a dropdown and even when selecting a variation from the dropdown, the “Sign up now” button remains disabled.
