Biggest opportunity: Add “single”, “variations radio” and “variations” to your wp.org tags. You rank #6, #9 and #16 for them without listing them, close enough for a declared tag to move you up. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so with 4 listed these are the slots worth spending.

1.7%

of downloads still active

At least 1K of 59.8K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,151 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 8 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    Simple, effective and free but needs some work…– It would be great if instead of having to select all the variable products that will not be hidden, you select which you do want to be hidden. Or this could be a new extra option. (settings tab)Plus, in my shop when I click on a variable that I want to remove from my list with products that will not be hidden, the page goes way down, to the end of the list and I need to scroll up again and click that product again because it did not remove it the first time.– Also, when I click the save changes button, I go way up the list and need to scroll down again en click it again because it did not save.– And it would be nice if it would keep all the product variations together on an archive page. If a product has 5 variations, and you add 1 more variation, this new one could be showing pages later and will not be with the other 5 in 1 row. Added:– It does not look at the altered published date.– If I make a copy of a product, this new product does not show up in the front end of the shop.I have to click the Re-init variations, which is very slow.Added: I went for another plugin: https://storeplugin.net/plugins/variations-as-single-product-for-woocommerce/ that works great.

    When we installed this plugin we assumed that its working fine. Variable to single products showing is ok but Filter not working Properly. It should be solved nevertheless its worthless to us

    The plugin works nicely and does what it promises with a simple set up. The only weak point is the “re-init variations” function that should be run in background to prevent server time outs on larger stores with lots of variations. Otherwise it is a great free plugin.

    When this plugin is activated, it works great on the shop page but it breaks all the category pages. For every category page it says “No products were found matching your selection”

    Very nice easy plugin to show all variations of a product on your shop page. But I wish there was an option to turn it off on certain products. I can’t seem to find any option for this This topic was modified 5 years, 8 months ago by Wildcard.
