 * Hi, I would like to show the description field, when present, of the selectable
   variants. The template is OceanWP. Is this an integration that needs to be done
   on the template or can it be enabled from the plugin?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshow-variable-description%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I hope you are doing well today. Can you please explain a bit more? I am sorry
   I didn’t understand your query.
 * Did you mean selected variation description? If so, It should be displayed by
   default.
 * Our plugin just displays swatches rather than the default variation dropdown.
 * Kind Regards

 * Hi, thank you for considering me.
   As I said before, my intent is to show the 
   description of the variable term. So as to give an explanation under each choice.
 * If you tell me that by default it is already active it is probably a limitation
   of the template, OceanWP.

 * As far as I know, they didn’t remove the variation template. Please make sure
   you have any child theme or not. If so, you can try the parent theme for a test.
 * Furthermore, please also check you have added the variation description properly
   or not- [https://paste.pics/LLAKF](https://paste.pics/LLAKF).
 * I have also checked it using OceanWP and Swatches and variation is displaying
   as expected- [https://paste.pics/LLALV](https://paste.pics/LLALV)
 * If you need help regarding that, please contact the OceanWP Author. I hope they
   will help with this.
 * Thanks

 * I think I explained myself wrongly.
   The description I want to display is the 
   one that you can edit in “All Products – Attributes – Configure Terms – Edit 
   Term.”
 * You can see it here [https://paste.pics/LLCLG](https://paste.pics/LLCLG)
 * I would like to display front-end that description under each selected variable.

 * Thanks for clarifying it. Unfortunately, this feature is not currently available.
   You can display the Name as a tooltip.
 * But it is a great idea. I am considering it as a feature request. I will forward
   this feature request to the Research and Development team.
 * Thanks
