Bulk edit attributes and variation of products by Woocommerce bulk product editing plugin<\/a> is an effective and efficient way to manage your online store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As replacing or adding attributes of the products is absolutely time consuming and boring specially for the ecommerce websites with a great number of products, it makes sense to use our plugin to bulk edit these features and save your time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The most effective option in our plugin is filtering the products that you are going to bulk edit any features of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make it clear, we completely described using Filter Form in \u201cHow to filter products on Woocommerce bulk product editing?<\/a>\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, by getting help from that tutorial, we tried to filter products which are not in the D\u00e9cor and Music category and also they are among variable products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we are going to bulk edit attributes and variations, it makes sense to choose those columns to be displayed in the product table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned in \u201cHow to manage product columns on Woocommerce bulk product editing\u201d, you can easily select all attributes assigned to the products in the Woocommerce to be shown in the product table as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Open \u201cColumn Manage<\/strong>r\u201d tab<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Select attributes \u2013 Such as Color or Size \u2013 from the list<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Add them as your preferred columns<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Save this profile by typing a name such as \u201cBulk Edit Attributes<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n By saving this profile as a preset, you have always access to it by opening the dropdown list in the Column Profile page. After choosing this preset and clicking on \u201cApply to Table<\/strong>\u201d, you can see the Attribute columns in your product table<\/p>\n\n\n\n To bulk edit attributes in our plugin, a special button called \u201cVariation<\/strong>\u201d in the main page is designed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By clicking on \u201cVariation<\/strong>\u201d button, a new form will appear on the screen with three different parts including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Set Variations<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Delete Variations<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Attach\/Change variations<\/p>\n\n\n\n To see the features we provide for you in each tab, follow this complete guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the \u201cSet Variation<\/strong>\u201d tab, you can choose the variations you want to bulk edit by clicking on the box under \u201cProduct Attributes<\/strong>\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have already assigned some attributes to these variations, a new box for each variation will appear which enable you to select the attributes you want to assign to the filtered products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, in this tutorial we chose Color and Size as the Variations then we selected \u201cGray\u201d and \u201cRed\u201d as the attributes related to the color and \u201cLarge\u201d and \u201cMedium\u201d related to the Size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Note: All variations and attributes that you add to the Woocommerce will be automatically shown in this form and you have full access to all of them to be assigned to your products.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n After choosing the right attributes, there are two options that you have to choose one of them as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By choosing one of these options in the \u201cSet Variation<\/strong>\u201d tab, the current attributes of products will be totally replaced by the ones you select in this form. So, if you don\u2019t want to remove the current attributes and you need to add some attributes to the previous ones, you have to go to another tab called \u201cAttach\/Change Variations<\/strong>\u201d which we will explain later in this tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To explain these options related to bulk edit attributes clearly, let\u2019s try to bulk edit our filtered products according to them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By choosing \u201cAll Combination<\/strong>\u201d and clicking on \u201cGenerate<\/strong>\u201d, the plugin will automatically produce all possible combinations regarding the selected attributes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, as we selected \u201cGray\u201d and \u201dRed\u201d for Color and \u201cLarge\u201d and \u201cMedium\u201d for Size, the combinations are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which are produced by the plugin as we expected to bulk edit attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the new list of combinations shown in the right side of the form, you have some extra options including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Moving combination:<\/strong> You can drag and drop items to change their orders as shown in the above picture<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Select the default combination:<\/strong> If you click on the circle in front of each combination, it will be assigned as default combination:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Select preferred combination:<\/strong> By marking the checkbox next to each combination, you can choose your desire one and assign it to the filtered products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, among the produced attribute combinations we marked:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, click on \u201cDo Bulk Variations<\/strong>\u201d to assign these selected attributes to those products we have already filtered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As the name of this option revealed, you can only choose one attribute combination to bulk edit attributes of filtered products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, we selected \u201cSmall\u201d related to Size and \u201cYellow\u201d related to Color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have already chosen more than one attributes related to each variations, a list of attributes will be shown and you are able to select one of them from the list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then by clicking on \u201cAdd<\/strong>\u201d button, the combination related to these attributes will show to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n And you are able to set it as default or mark it to add to the product attributes. Click on \u201cDo Bulk Variations<\/strong>\u201d to the attribute combination add to the filtered products as below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are two options available in the \u201cDelete Variation<\/strong>\u201d tab to bulk edit attributes as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n To make it clear, consider that we want to remove \u201cGray\u201d from attributes of selected products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is simply possible by selecting the color from the dropdown variation list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then choose \u201cGray\u201d from the related attribute list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By clicking on \u201cDelete Variation<\/strong>\u201d, the changes are made as we expected in the product table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned before, if you want to add some attributes to the current ones, \u201cAttach\/Change Variations<\/strong>\u201d tab is the right option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this tab, you can choose the variation such as color or size from the dropdown list under Select Attributes to bulk edit attributes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then select the attributes related to that variation from the next dropdown list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n By clicking on the \u201cAttaching<\/strong>\u201d button, this attribute will be added to the previous attributes of the filtered\/selected products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is also another possibility in the \u201cAttach\/Change Variation<\/strong>\u201d. For example, consider that you want to add attributes to one of your products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this tab, you can easily enter the ID of the product in the \u201cVariable Product ID<\/strong>\u201d text box to see the attributes assigned to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, to see the attributes related to the ID Number \u201c1307\u201d, we typed \u201c1307\u201d in the text box and clicked on \u201cGet Variations<\/strong>\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, the list of all attributes assigned to the product with ID Number \u201c1307\u201d is displayed and you are easily able to add the attributes of variation you have already selected under \u201cSelect Attribute<\/strong>\u201d list to this product:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you choose the right attributes, you can assign them to the selected product by clicking on \u201cAttaching<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFilter Product<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
