How it fits

With LanternWP Companion, the product page can say how a product fits, and show what reviewers say about the fit. A table of measurements beside the sizes is a guide: see Size and option guides.

Say how a product fits

1. Go to Products and edit the product.
2. Under Product data, open How it fits.
3. Fill in The cut, such as "Relaxed through the body; size down for a closer fit.", and the model's height in centimeters, the size the model wears and, if you like, a Note on the size, such as "one size down".
4. Select Update.

The page shows "How it fits" with your sentence and "Model is 175 cm and wears S, one size down"; a store whose unit of dimensions is inches (WooCommerce → Settings → Products) shows the height in feet and inches too, "5′9″ (175 cm)". On a product with options it stands under the options, on a product without them before the stock and Add to cart. Leave the fields empty to show nothing.

In the Site Editor, Companion's How It Fits block stands in WooCommerce's Variable Product Add to Cart + Options and Simple Product Add to Cart + Options template parts (Appearance → Editor → Patterns). There it shows a sample, so you can see where it stands and move it like any block. The sample is a made-up cut and model. To show it on no product, turn off the switch in the How it fits row of Appearance → LanternWP → Features and select Save: Companion then places the block nowhere, and a block saved in a template shows nothing in the store. If you deleted the block from a part, the row says Removed from templates, and Restore in templates puts it back after you confirm.

Ask reviewers how it fits

1. Go to Products → Attributes and select Edit under the attribute your products vary by, such as Size or Shoe size.
2. Check Ask how it fits in reviews and select Update. Do the same for every attribute whose products should be asked: a store with clothes and shoes checks both Size and Shoe size. A new attribute has the field too, under Add new attribute.
3. Go to Appearance → LanternWP → Features. The Fit in reviews row links to Products → Attributes too.
4. In the Fit in reviews row, turn the switch on and select Save.

The review form of each product with a checked attribute then asks "How does it fit?": runs small, true to size or runs large, optional. A product with two checked attributes is asked once. Other products are not asked, so a rug with a size is asked only when you check its attribute. Under the options, "How it fits" shows where the approved reviews' answers meet on a scale from Runs small to Runs large, and how many reviews answered. A review's answer is kept with the review; deleting or unapproving the review takes it off the scale. Turn Fit in reviews off to stop asking and hide the scale; the answers stay with the reviews, and the checked attributes stay checked.

Fit in reviews is off until you turn it on. While it is off, Ask how it fits in reviews says so on the attribute, with a link to Features. If it is on and no attribute is checked, no review asks, and its row in Features shows Needs setup with a link to Products → Attributes.

Show one reviewer's answer

To show reviews about fit on a page, such as the home page, insert the Fit in Reviews block: on a product page it shows the product's scale; in the block's settings, Fit → Shows sets one reviewer's answer, Runs small, True to size or Runs large, to show beside a quote; The product’s reviews shows the product's scale. The LanternWP home pattern Reviews about fit holds such quotes.

A demo import adds how each product fits and its reviews' answers. A demo whose reviews answer how a product fits also checks Ask how it fits in reviews on its size attribute and turns Fit in reviews on.
