Product Variations as Pill Buttons

Each button has three states it can be in:
Off / unselected
On / Selected
Hover
Variation pill button colours
Manual Styling using CSS
Here’s a simple example of how to style the pills themselves. Either copy-and-paste this into your custom child theme’s style.css file, or paste it into the Additional CSS in the Customizer. Change the colours to suit your site.
If you need to disable Product Variation Pills for one or more of your products, you can hook the pvp_is_active filter. Copy and paste this example into your custom child theme’s functions.php and change the values in $disable_for_ids for your products.
/**
* COnditionally disable PV Pills for some products.
*/
function custom_pvp_is_active($is_active) {
$product = get_product();
// Product IDs where you don't want Product Variation Pills.
$disable_for_ids = array(1234, 9876);
if (in_array($product->get_id(), $disable_for_ids)) {
$is_active = false;
}
return $is_active;
}
add_filter('pvp_is_active', 'custom_pvp_is_active');
Actions & Filters
Hook
Parameters
Notes
pvp_is_active filter
$is_active
Returns true on single product pages if WooCommerce is installed. You can return false from this if you need to disable pill mode for some products.
pvp_refresh_delay filter
$delay
The delay between the page loading and PV Pills initialising, in milliseconds. Default: 50
pvp_heartbeat_interval filter
$interval
PV Pills runs a heartbeat in the browser to check that the pills are not out-of-sync with what WooCommerce thinks is selected. This configures the heartbeat interval in milliseconds. Default: 250
pvp_enable_diagnostics filter
$is_enabled
Return true from this filter if you want to see WooCommerce’s original drop-down selectors. This can be useful when trying to understand unexpected behaviour.
before_enqueue_pvpills_scripts action
Fires immediately before the PV Pills enqueues its scripts and styles.
after_enqueue_pvpills_scripts action
Fires immediately after the PV Pills enqueues its scripts and styles.
pvpill_label_text filter
$pill_label_text, $term, $attribute_name
The text that’s used for individual pills. By default, $pill_label_text will contain $term->name. This gets sanitised through esc_html so if you want to inject HTML into the pills, you should use pvpill_label_html instead.
pvpill_label_html filter
$pill_label_html, $term, $attribute_name
The raw HTML that gets inserted inside the pills. By default, this is esc_html($term->name).

Changelog: Product Variation Pills
Version 2.2.3
Released: 2022-09-08
Fixed a bug when using custom attributes as variations, when the custom attribute terms had double-quotes in them.
Version 2.2.2
Released: 2022-08-30
Better handling of when the user clicks the "Clear" button when viewing a product variation.
Version 2.2.0
Released: 2022-08-16
Added a new feature so you can override the Ajax variations threshold. If you've got products with a large number of variations and you can select invalid product combinations with "Sorry, no products matched your selection. Please choose a different combination.", this new option lets you set a higher threshold... which means you can use a higher number of variation combinations in your variable products.
