Attribute Manager
Overview
The Attribute Manager tab is where you define WooCommerce product attributes and their values, organise them into reusable templates, and apply or strip them across your catalogue in bulk. It operates on WooCommerce's native global attribute taxonomies, so everything you do here is real attribute data — immediately reflected on products, variations, the storefront, and the plugin's filters.

How attributes are stored

Each attribute is a WooCommerce global attribute, registered as the taxonomy pa_<slug> (for example, an attribute named "Colour" with slug colour becomes pa_colour). Its values are the terms of that taxonomy. An attribute's type is held in WooCommerce's attribute-taxonomies table, and this plugin recognises exactly two types:

TypeInternal valueWhat it adds
Text (Default)selectA standard attribute. Values are plain terms with a name and slug.
Colour SwatchcolorEach value also stores a hex colour (in the term meta key product_attribute_color), shown as an editable swatch and used to render colour swatches in the storefront colour filter.
⚙
Only two types existAny other type value is coerced to select on save. There is no separate "button", "radio" or "image" type — the choice is always Text (Default) or Colour Swatch.

Each attribute appears as a card with its name, slug, a type badge (grey for Text, pink for Colour Swatch), the number of values, and View Products →. Opening one reveals its values table — covered in Creating Attributes & Values.

The four sections of the tab

The tab stacks four independent sections, each documented on its own page:

SectionPurposePage
Attribute ManagerCreate, edit and delete attributes and their values, including colour swatches. The value editor is staged.Creating Attributes
Template ManagerSave named bundles of attributes (optionally with preset values) to reuse together.Template Manager
Bulk Attribute EditorLoad a product grid by template + category and fill attribute values across many products, with a single batched save.Bulk Attribute Editor
Bulk Attribute RemovalDetach a chosen attribute from many products at once.Bulk Attribute Removal

A typical end-to-end workflow

1
Define attributes and values

Create each attribute as Text (Default) or Colour Swatch, then add its values. For colour attributes, give each value a hex.

2
Bundle into a template

Group the attributes you typically apply together (e.g. all laptop specs), optionally seeding default values.

3
Fill values in bulk

In the Bulk Attribute Editor, load a category against that template and enter values across its products, or push the template's defaults onto selected products in one click.

4
Correct mistakes at scale

Use Bulk Attribute Removal to detach an attribute from products that shouldn't carry it.

ℹ
Connected to the rest of the pluginAttributes feed the Filter Manager's Attribute filter type; a Filter Widget's Load from Template turns a template's attributes into filters in one step; and Colour Swatch values supply the swatches a colour filter renders. Editing here keeps all of those in sync because they all read the same taxonomy data.
