Adding Bulk Attributes – Terms with hierarchy support

Sometimes we need attributes to have hierarchy, for some particular product.

This can be usefull to segment product attributes by brand for example.

To keep up with our previous example of SSD hard disk, let suppose you have as product “SSD Disk 128 Gb”. This only product can be compatible with different brand laptops, as:

From this list all those terms will be under “Compatible laptop” attributes.
The brand listed here ( HP, ACER, DELL and Toshiba) will be considered as parent terms. Under each parent terms, we will add child terms, that will be the models.

Our plugin is still here to handle all that. Let’s do it together:

From WC Bulk Attributes Manager, go to Bulk Add Attributes Terms
Then select the attributes under which the terms are going to be added

you should now have a box like this:
As we want to add attributes terms with hierarchy support as displayed previously, we will start by adding the parent attributes or top level attributes
HP,DELL,ACER,TOSHIBA.
click on Add Terms and voila!

Attributes are added and usable
- You could add the terms in this box in different format: comma separated value, pipe separated or one by line like this:
  - comma separated: HP,DELL,ACER,TOSHIBA
  - pipe separated: HP|DELL|ACER|TOSHIBA
  - one by line:
    HP
    DELL
    ACER
    TOSHIBA
Now our parent terms are added, let work on child terms.
- Go to : WC bul Attributes Manager > Bulk Add Attributes Terms
- select the attributes we want to add terms to; in our case “Compatible laptops”
- Let’s add HP laptop model as child terms for HP term. Details are in the below picture
- Child terms are added as you can see and check in attributes captures below:
