So each option value can be referenced by id. When those numbers are in the “Children” field it means that those child values will be visible only when the parent value is selected. * > I don’t want to hide or show whole options drop downs – just modify the values in them. * Yes, it is possible to hide just some values in the drop-down select. * >if I put ID 15 in Matt Chrome and 16 in Brighton Chrome, So it will be set like this: * Select your frames first: – Matt Chrome (child 15) – Brighton Chrome (child 16) – 23k Gold * Select your lens next: – 15 SkyTec American Gray – 16 SkyForce Air Northern Lights * When “Matt Chrome” is selected then the next option will have just on one option value “SkyTec American Gray”. When “Brighton Chrome” is selected then the next option will have just the “SkyForce Air Northern Lights” value selectable. And when the “23k Gold” is selected the next drop-down select “Select your lens next” will be hidden because it has no selectable options for this parent value. * You should contact me by email [pektsekye@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-options-3/pektsekye@gmail.com?output_format=md) if you have questions about my paid plugins. * Stanislav * Thread Starter [aliferis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aliferis/) * (@aliferis) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-options-3/#post-15261695) * Your support has been great and I have solved the issue of dependent options with your add-on, so thank you. * [https://cookeopticians.ie/product/acuvue-oasys-with-hydraluxe1-day-for-astigmatism/](https://cookeopticians.ie/product/acuvue-oasys-with-hydraluxe1-day-for-astigmatism/) * I have one final question tho: * If I move the sort order of an option field in order to move an option below another option in the front end, will this change the IDs of the option values– thus breaking the dependencies Ive made ? * thanks * Plugin Author [Pektsekye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pektsekye/) * (@pektsekye) * [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-options-3/#post-15263468) * Hello, * No, the sort order will not change the IDs of the option values. * Stanislav Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) The topic ‘Conditional options’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/product-options-for-woocommerce/assets/icon-256x256.png? rev=1892402) * [Simple Product Options for WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/product-options-for-woocommerce/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/product-options-for-woocommerce/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/product-options-for-woocommerce/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/product-options-for-woocommerce/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/product-options-for-woocommerce/reviews/) * 9 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Pektsekye](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pektsekye/) * Last activity: [4 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/conditional-options-3/#post-15263468) * Status: not resolved
