Hello, everybody! Viptor here! Today is yet another exciting day for the WordPress community. The reason? Well, recently the WooCommerce development team released the first RC for version 6.3<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our WordPress Agency for Development<\/a> has learned that the next major release is scheduled for March 8, 2022<\/strong>, and it will include a much-anticipated feature. We expect to see an entirely new lookup table that will allow users to precisely filter products by attributes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This is definitely a long-awaited improvement. WooCommerce\u2019s flawed filtering of variable products has been a great concern for shop owners that offer variable items for years. When the new lookup table went into testing last year, Automattic engineer N\u00e9stor Soriano actually addressed the issue. Let\u2019s see what he had to say on the subject.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

About WooCommerce\u2019s Broken Filtering of Variable Products<\/h2>\n

The WordPress developers from Vipe Studio remember when N\u00e9stor Soriano explained the problem with WooCommerce\u2019s Broken Filtering of Variable Products.<\/p>\n

He said that the issue arises when there are several varieties of a product<\/strong>, some of which have stock while others do not, and the option to \u201chide out of stock goods from the catalog\u201d is enabled.<\/p>\n

The problem that has been bugging so many WooCommerce<\/a> users is that when an attribute is selected for filtering, all variable products with a variation that corresponds to that attribute are displayed. The same thing applies to products that don\u2019t have stock for that variation (given that at least one variation has stock).<\/p>\n

Our WordPress agency for enterprise understands the frustration that this inconvenient problem has caused to merchants. After all, because of the issue, customers end up needing to browse through all of the things to check if their desired version is available. More often than not, this hindrance becomes the very cause why clients quit the attempts<\/strong> to complete the process altogether.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New Lookup Table Coming to the Rescue<\/h2>\n

Thankfully, by establishing a table entry for each combination of product and attribute<\/strong>, including specific variants and stock status, the new lookup table in WooCommerce<\/a> 6.3 handles this problem in a way that should enhance efficiency.<\/p>\n

Our WordPress development agency<\/a> believes that this will be extremely beneficial to any business owner who offers a variety of items, such as clothing, shoes, jewelry, and so on.<\/p>\n

The only thing that our WordPress developers want to stress is that a database migration will be required for this update. You can also expect the introduction of a brand-new \u201cAdvanced\u201d section<\/strong> under the Product Settings tab. This new section will provide settings for the new product attributes lookup table.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Get Ready for WooCommerce 6.3 and the New Lookup Table!<\/h2>\n

And so, that was it for this week\u2019s most interesting news. I remind you once again that the next major release of WooCommerce<\/a> is scheduled for March 8, 2022, so get ready for that. Everyone at our WordPress agency for enterprise is definitely looking forward to the release.<\/p>\n

According to the latest information, WooCommerce<\/a> 6.3 has been updated to the 6.9.0<\/a> version of the WooCommerce Blocks feature plugin. The WooCommerce Admin has also been updated to version 3.2.0-rc.<\/p>\n

The WordPress developers from Vipe Studio recommend all shop owners who have variable products do a test run of the update over the next few days<\/strong> before the official launch. It may be downloaded from WordPress.org or installed using the WooCommerce Beta Tester plugin<\/a>.<\/p>\n
