 * Hi all,
 * I’m trying to find the correct settings or plug in, that will allow me to achieve(
   working) filtering of attributes that have multiple variations.
 * The website will be an auto parts store, using Woocommerce.
 * I would like 3 levels of filtering in this order:
    1) Vehicle Manufacturer 2)
   Vehicle Model 3) Trim/Year
 * So far, I’ve created some example attributes (just using 1 and 2).
 * Product variations have been created also, however when trying to filter by attribute
   this doesn’t work how I’d like it to.
 * For example, when selecting Volskwagen, I would expect the results to show the
   following values: “Polo” and “Golf”. However it shows all models that a variation
   exists for, not only the variations with the manufacturer of Volkswagen.
 * I’ve tried a few different free plug ins now, none have worked. I’ve contacted
   a few of the developers/sellers of these plug ins and they refer me to the paid
   version, without actually answering whether it will achieve what I want. Whilst
   they do offer a 30 day money-back guarantee or similar, it’s hassle. So I’d like
   to know if anyone has achieved this first.
 * I am aware of a couple of different auto parts plug ins that offer similar filtering–
   but these filter to single “simple” products, not variations as I’m trying to
   do.

 * Are there a lot of variations in the products? More that 30?

 * At the moment – no.
    I’ve added 3 different manufacturers, and about 6 different
   models.
 * Both are separate attributes. This is the information I’ve populated so far:
 * 1) Vehicle Manufacturers:
    Ford Honda Vauxhall Volkswagen
 * 2) Vehicle Models:
    Astra MK5 VXR Civic EP3 Type R Civic FN2 Type R Corsa D VXR
   Fiesta MK7 ST180 Focus MK2 ST225 Golf MK7 R
 * I’ve then created a variable product with the following variations:
    1) Manufacturer:
   Volkswagen, Model: Golf MK7 R 2) Manufacturer: Ford, Model: Fiesta MK7 ST180 
   3) Manufacturer: Ford, Model: Focus MK2 ST225
 * Now, on the product page, the filtering works fine. I select Volskwagen, I can
   only see “Golf MK7 R” in the drop down for Vehicle Model.
 * However, on the Shop Catalogue page, using the Woocommerce “Filter by Product
   Attribute” widget, this is where the issue arises.
 * If I select Volkswagen for the Vehicle Manufacturer, under Vehicle Model I get
   3 results, Golf MK7 R, Fiesta MK7 ST180 and Focus MK2 ST225. Not just the models
   for the “parent” attribute as such.

 * You could use our [Product Filters for WooCommerce](https://woocommerce.com/products/product-filters/)
   extension, to create AJAX product filters that make the process of finding products
   in your store simple and fast.
 * I hope that helps, otherwise let us know.
