To add a new WooCommerce attribute type, you will need to add a new product attribute using the WooCommerce admin panel or programmatically using code. Here's how you can add a new attribute type:

  1. Using WooCommerce admin panel: Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to WooCommerce > Products > Attributes. Click on the "Add New" button to create a new attribute. Enter a name for your attribute and select the type of attribute you want to add from the dropdown menu. WooCommerce supports several attribute types including text, select, and radio buttons. Once you have selected the attribute type, click on the "Add attribute" button to save your new attribute.
  2. Using code: You can also add a new attribute type programmatically using PHP code. Here's an example code snippet that adds a new attribute type called "checkbox": function custom_add_attribute_type() { $attribute_type = 'checkbox'; add_filter( 'woocommerce_taxonomy_args_pa_attribute', function( $args ) use ( $attribute_type ) { $args['attribute_type'] = $attribute_type; return $args; }); } add_action( 'init', 'custom_add_attribute_type' ); You can add this code to your theme's functions.php file or create a custom plugin to add the new attribute type.


After adding the new attribute type, you can assign it to your products and use it to create product variations or provide additional product information on your WooCommerce store.
