About WooCommerce Attribute Images & Variation Swatches 1.3.1
This plugin is a WooCommerce extension for product attributes and variation swatches. Its title says it handles attribute images, so shoppers can pick options such as colour or pattern from images instead of a plain dropdown.
The package is tiny, about 56 KB, and the file on record is version 1.3.1 from 2022. The listing gives no feature list or settings, so confirm what the plugin offers in its documentation. Test it on a staging site, since WooCommerce product page markup has changed over time.

- WooCommerce
Key features

Is it right for you?
A good fit for

Look elsewhere if

- Sites that need a full product filter or attribute-based search, which the listing doesn't mention

Common problems and fixes
Swatches don't appear on a product page
- Why it happens
- The product is not a variable product, or the attribute is not used for variations.
- How to fix it
- Set the product type to Variable, add the attribute with Used for variations ticked, and save the variations.
“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading
- Why it happens
- The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
- How to fix it
- Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.
“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”
- Why it happens
- The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
- How to fix it
- Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.
“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
- Why it happens
- Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
- How to fix it
- Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.
Licence or “updates unavailable” notices
- Why it happens
- The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
- How to fix it
- Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
