About WooSwatches Woocommerce Color or Image Variation Swatches 3.4.3
WooSwatches turns the plain dropdowns of WooCommerce variable products into colour, image or text swatches. Shoppers click a visual option instead of opening a select box. Swatches can be square or round, from small to large, and work on mobile devices.
It supports global colour or image values for attributes, an inbuilt colour or image product filter, and swatches on shop, category and tag pages. It can also change the product image when you hover a swatch on archive pages. The file on record is version 3.4.3 from January 2022; the slug mentions an older number. Test it on a staging site first.

Common problems and fixes
Swatches do not appear and the dropdown remains
- Why it happens
- The product uses a custom attribute rather than a global one, or the theme overrides the variation template.
- How to fix it
- Use a global attribute with a swatch type set, and test with a default theme to see if the theme is the cause.
“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.
