    Hi folks –

    Not sure if this has ever been answered – did a search and didnt find anything really.

    Question is:

    Is there a way to force a vendor to pick an attribute, or atleast make it so the Attribute Tab and Attributes are very apparent for them to have to choose.

    I am setting up a site with only two attributes available, Size and Carrier (phone). I want the vendors to see while adding a product that they must also choose and add those two attributes.

    Thanks in advance!

    This will require a few modifications.. but here is how it can be done.
    1. Put this in your theme/child theme functions.php file:
    https://gist.github.com/fervous/db7322a7c9d04db2cca243a996402c5c

    2. Read this article on modifying templates, if you have not already modified any templates: https://www.wcvendors.com/kb/changing-vendor-templates/ (there is info there for the BuddyBoss theme also if you are using that theme..)

    Go to line 199 (approx) in your WC Vendors Pro template file product-edit.php : wp-content/plugins/wcvendors-pro/templates/dashboard/product-edit.php (or if you are using buddyboss onesocial, it’ll be in the buddyboss-marketplace folders…)

    You’ll see this line:
    <?php WCVendors_Pro_Product_Form::product_attributes( $object_id ); ?>

    Copy that line.
    Now paste it just below the price.. at approx line 96.. so it will look like this here:

    <?php WCVendors_Pro_Product_Form::prices( $object_id ); ?>
<?php WCVendors_Pro_Product_Form::product_attributes( $object_id ); ?>

    Now it will show below the price under the GENERAL tab.

    Bear in mind that when you update to Pro v1.4.0 and/or you use a theme that modified our templates, you will have to re-do this modification to the product-edit.php template if it is updated.

    Thanks so much! Ill give this a shot tomorrow!

    I was reading the Template Mod link, Can I assume I should be copying the buddyboss marketplace templates seeing I am using WCV PRo and One Social Marketplace?

    Thanks!

    Yes- the BuddyBoss overridden templates.
    So you would copy /wp-content/plugins/buddyboss-marketplace/templates/wc-vendors/dashboard/product-edit.php

    To your child theme:
    /wp-content/themes/onesocial-child/bb-marketplace/wc-vendors/dashboard/product-edit.php

    Thanks!!
