WordPress WooCommerce text attribute

2 Views

I am using WooCommerce plugin in WordPress. In that plugin I need to add text input for each product where in clients can fill in the additional product details.

The problem I am facing is that whenever I Add Text Attribute, it changes to a select box. Please suggest some solution. Thanks!

  1. Do you mean that your clients should have this text input field available on frontend?

    If it’s just backend, you can add this to your functions.php:

    if (is_admin()){     
// Add the Meta Box  
function add_textfield() {  
    add_meta_box(  
        'textfield', // $id  
        'Custom textfield', // $title   
        'show_textfield_backend', // $callback  
        'product', // $page  
        'normal', // $context  
        'high'  // $priority
    ); 
}  
add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'add_textfield');

// The Callback  
function show_textfield_backend() {  
    global $post;  
    global $wpdb;

    $meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'textfield', true);

    // Use nonce for verification  
    echo '<input type="hidden" name="textfield_nonce" value="'.wp_create_nonce(basename(__FILE__)).'" />';  

    _e('Custom textfield: ');
    echo '<input type="text" placeholder="text" id="textfield" class="textfield" name="textfield" ', $meta ? " value='$meta'" : "",' />';       
}

// Save the Data  
function save_textfield($post_id) {  
    global $wpdb;

    // verify nonce  
    if (!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['textfield_nonce'], basename(__FILE__)))   
        return $post_id;
    // check autosave  
    if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)  
        return $post_id;
    // check permissions
    if ('page' == $_POST['post_type']) {  
        if (!current_user_can('edit_page', $post_id))  
            return $post_id;  
    } elseif (!current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)) {  
        return $post_id;  
    }

    if ( !wp_is_post_revision( $post_id ) ) {

        $textfield = $_POST['textfield'];
        update_post_meta($post_id, 'textfield', $textfield);

    }  
}
add_action('save_post', 'save_textfield');
}
