    While I like this very much, it is not working for me due to the string length limitation on the variations.

    For example, with WC Variations Radio Buttons, I am currently offering the following options for pendants:

    pendant only $13.95
    20″ silver plated snake chain for $23.95
    with 20″ sterling silver box chain for $25.95
    with 24″ sterling silver box chain for $27.95

    Currently doing that with this plug in generates the following error: “Invalid value posted for chain option”. The error does not appear until a customer makes a purchase.

    I’m pretty sure this is a string length problem because the plugin works and looks great when I’m doing short options like this
    pack of 24
    pack of 100

    Would it be possible for you to make it work with longer strings so I have enough characters to fully describe my options? I really can’t find a way to use this plugin due to this character limitation.

    Thanks so much for helping me out with this. Love the work you go. -Karen

    Hi Karen,

    I’ve just tried it on my server, but unfortunately couldn’t reproduce the issue – it seems to be working fine here. Generally, I don’t think it’s a string length limitation issue – first thing that came to my mind when I saw your attributes is possible issues with ″ symbol, however, as mentioned, it’s working fine on my server even with this symbol. So one option would be to start by removing ″ symbol, just to be sure… And if you wish, you can share an admin account to your server, so I could log in and check what’s going on. If that is possible – my private email is [email protected]. And also FTP access would help a lot.

    If anyone else has a similar issue – as we’ve figured out in private emails – replacing ″ symbol with the word “inch” seems to be solving the issue.
