Introduction
While the plugin provides readymade size chart templates, many store owners need custom size charts for:
- Unique products
- Brand-specific measurements
- Custom apparel or accessories
- Region-specific sizing standards
A custom size chart gives you full control over layout, content, and display.
Step 1: Open the Size Charts Menu
- Log in to your WordPress Dashboard
- Go to Product Size Chart → Size Charts
This page displays all existing size chart templates (default and custom).
Step 2: Click “Add New” to Create a Custom Size Chart
- Click the Add New button at the top
- A new size chart editor screen will open
This is where you create your custom template from scratch.
Step 3: Add Size Chart Title and Description
Size Chart Title
- Enter a meaningful title
- Example: Premium Hoodie Size Guide
- This title helps you identify the chart in the admin panel and on the product page.
Description (Optional)
- Add measurement instructions
- Explain how customers should measure
- Mention units (cm/inches)
Step 4: Build the Size Chart Table
In the Chart Table section, you can design the structure of your size chart.
You can:
- Add columns (Size, Chest, Waist, Length, etc.)
- Add rows (S, M, L, XL…)
- Enter measurement values
- Reorder or delete rows and columns
- Use advanced table formatting if needed
This table is what customers will see on the product page.
Step 5: Configure Display Style and Position
You can control how and where the size chart appears.
Display Style
Choose one:
- Popup link (View Size Chart)
- Tabbed chart
- Inline display
Display Position
Select where it appears:
- Before the Add to Cart button
- After the Add to Cart button
- Inside product tabs
- Custom position (if supported)
If no changes are made, the chart will use global default settings.
Step 6: Save and Preview the Size Chart
- Click Publish or Update
Open the product page on the frontend
Confirm:
- The size chart is visible
- Layout and table look correct
- Display style works as expected
You can edit the chart anytime to refine measurements or layout.
