Title: Make attributes work (linked) Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Make attributes work (linked) * Resolved [Rebastion](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sebh/) * (@sebh) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-attributes-work-linked/) * Hi there * after searching all over, with my poor php skills I have come to an end of my search. * I want the list/table of product attributes that I created actually work for the visitor, i.e. clicking on them works just like clicking on categories or tags. * As you can see in this discussion [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-the-attributes-links?replies=7#post-7335486](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-the-attributes-links?replies=7#post-7335486) * I think at the end I found which file outputs the code, and I found about three tutorials that circle sloser to this problem. But none of them exactly nails it, at least I don’t know how to implement it. * Can someone help? I don’t get why this isn’t standard behavior in the first place. Many thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Contributor [Mike Jolley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mikejolley/) * (@mikejolley) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/make-attributes-work-linked/#post-6466280) * Products > Product Attributes, edit. To enable archives. * Then you would need to customise this file to output the attribute + links, unless the plugin in the other thread works [https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/single-product/product-attributes.php](https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/blob/master/templates/single-product/product-attributes.php) * > Can someone help?
