Common reasons why only one color or label text at description shows
-
Attribute not linked to Variations
-
Adding attributes alone (Color, Size) is not enough.
-
You must also create Variations for each attribute (Black, Blue, White).
-
-
Stock not set for each variation
-
If stock management is enabled and other variations have no stock, they won’t appear on the product page.
-
-
“Used for variations” not checked
-
When adding attributes under the Attributes tab, you need to check the box “Used for variations”. Without this, they appear as information only, not selectable options.
-
-
Theme or plugin conflict
-
Some themes/plugins use custom swatches (color/size selectors). If not set correctly, they may only show one option.
-
How to fix it step by step
-
Edit your product and change it to Variable Product (instead of Simple Product).
-
Go to the Attributes tab → Add your attribute “Color” → Select all terms (Black, Blue, White…).
-
Make sure you check “Used for variations.”
-
-
Click Save attributes.
-
Go to the Variations tab → Select Create variations from all attributes.
-
WooCommerce will automatically generate a variation for each color (Black, Blue, White).
-
-
For each variation:
-
Set a price.
-
Add an image (so if a customer selects Black, they see the Black product image).
-
If stock management is enabled, set quantity for each.
-
-
Click Save Changes and Update product.
Now, on the front end, customers will see all the color options (Black, Blue, White, etc.) as dropdowns or swatches and can pick before adding to cart.
