The brand management page is in the Products section. Here is the example:

Creating a brand

To create a brand, go to the Brands page via the admin panel.

Here is the example:

To create a brand, you need to fill in the following fields:

Name – you have to enter a brand name here; this field is mandatory.
Slug is a version of the brand name that is used to create a brand page URL on a site. Slug usually contains only lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens.
Description field requires a description used on the brand display page.
Thumbnail – you can download a brand image here.

Click on the Add New Brand button.

Quick brand editing

For the quick editing of a brand, you need to click Quick edit button.

You can change Name and Slug in the Quick edit section.

Here is the example:

Editing brand

For the brand editing, you need to click on the band name or Edit button under the brand you want to edit.

You can change all the data created previously: Name, Slug, Description, Thumbnail.

Here is the example:

Deleting brand

There are two ways to delete a brand:

Click on the Delete button under the brand you want to delete.
Mark the checkboxes of the brands you want to delete.

Select the Delete option from the BulkActions drop-down menu and click on the Apply button.

Here is the example:

Additional steps on the brand management page

You can also do the following on the Brands page:

Brand search

You can find a specific brand by searching. The search is conducted by the name of the brand or by Slug.

To use the search, you need to enter letters, numbers or words, contained in the brands, into the box next to the Search Brands button and click on this button. This field is highlighted in yellow on the screenshot.

Here is the example:

Viewing the brand page on the site

To do this, click on the View button of the brand you need.

The brand page on the site:

Viewing branded items

To do this, you have to click on the number in the Count column of the brand you need.

Here is the example:

Assigning a brand to a product

To do this, go to the Add new product or Edit product page. Choose the brand you need in the Brands select menu and click the Publish button or Update button to save the changes. If you need to unlink the brand from the product, choose “Not specified”.

We also added the option of assigning a brand to the product by quick editing of the product. Open the Products page and click the Quick Edit button in the desired product. Select the brand you need in the Brand menu and click the Update button to save the changes. If you need to unlink the brand from the product, then choose “Not specified”.

The product page on the site that is assigned to the brand:

Widgets

The plugin allows you to add Brands widget via Customizer.

WooCommerce Brands widget

Brands widget allows you to output a specific number of brands on the site. The widget can work in two modes: Auto and Custom.

Auto mode enables some additional settings, such as displaying only brand names with the images and specifying the maximum number of brands displayed on the site in the widget.

With Custom mode, you can select the brands you want/don’t want to display.

In both modes, you can specify a widget name.

Displaying all brands on the page using shortcodes

In order for the list of all brands to be displayed on the page, you need to add a shortcode: [brands_page]. The plugin automatically creates a Brands page with this shortcode when it is installed.

Here is the example:

The page of all brands on the site:

Awesome plug-in.
Question:
How do I set or change and customize the slug/permalink “/product_brand/cottover/” to be = “/varumarke/cottover/”?.

—Thanks.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your feedback.
You can’t customize the slug/permalink of brands via our plugin, if that’s what you mean. But maybe we’ll add this feature in the next releases.

Do you have a shortcode for displaying the products associated with a brand?

Altair says:

I have 2000 products where one attribute is the brand.

Any option to assign the Brand from a product attribute?

Awesome plugin – but it’s not possible to translate the brands as you say.
If i’m at my main site language under a specific brand “Adidas” i can edit the text, but when i switch to english the page go to show me all the brands… And there’s no way to add “add this brand in english” like there is in the categories…

What to do? :/

Hi, what exactly multilingual plugin do you use? As rule, this can be set up in multilingual plugin`s options.

Great plugin,

However it takes the permalink settings from the blog (/blog/%postname%) instead of the brand base –> /blog/brand/{brandname} instead of /brand/brandname
Any solution for this?

It looks like your other installed plugins have such an effect.

I want to show only those brands that are present in the products. How to hide brands that are not in the current category?

Eugene says:

If products do not contain any brand, it does not appear in this category (If this question relates to the display of brands in categories).

Hi
Great plugin! We use the built in csv import function in WooCommerce. I can’t find where to map a brand for products in the csv-file to the Brand in Woo. Please advise.

Eugene says:

Hi.
The built-in WooCommerce import doesn`t have such a capability.
Try importing brands through the WP All Import plugin.

Hi! Thanks for this useful plugin.

How can I display the brand’s name in single product page?

I would like to create a shortcode to call the product brand since I cannot use widget.

Thanks!

Eugene says:

16/04/2020 at 5:46 am

Hi!
There is only one shortcode and it can only be used to display all brands – [premmerce_brands title=”Brands”].
To display the brand for the product, you need to add the following code to hooks-functions.php of your theme – http://prntscr.com/s0ag1r

Hi. IS it possible to display the image from the brand allocated to a product on the single product page?

Eugene says:

01/07/2020 at 11:22 am

Hi there!
Yes, you can do this by adding to \wp-content\themes\your_theme\woocommerce\content-single-product.php the following code:
get_id(),’product_brand’);
$imageURL = wp_get_attachment_image_url(get_term_meta($brands[0]->term_id, ‘thumbnail_id’, true), ‘medium’);
?>

Hi. Awesome plugin. But there was a need to make a second (additional) description for the brand, which will be displayed under the products. Can this be done? Thank you.

Eugene says:

11/01/2021 at 9:21 am

Hi there!

To implement this functionality is necessary to add code to the admin side and the front end of the site.
Our specialists can do this as additional work.
The email of our sales department is sales@imagecms.net.

Hi there!
It depends on the layout of your template.

I have a large table of thousands of products and hundreds of Brands. THey are already in my own CSV file. I can not find any way to import my native brand field using import. In the comments above you say to use “WP All Import plugin”? I can not find that. it is kind of useless to have to to go back and hand fill in hundreds of brand attributes to thosands of products.

Hello, this is a very nice plugin, simpler and better than other plugins I have tried. However, it would be nice to have the logo image displayed in the single product page under the title. I have tried the several codes in this page but I could not get the logo to display anywhere on the single product page. Please advise if there is a way to do it. Thank you.

  Hey there, I appreciate the response. Unfortunately, this didn’t work for me. My theme does not have a content-single-product.php file. I am sure there is a way around it, but my knowledge is very limited. Thank you.

Hi, Been using this plugin for a while. Recently noticed that the meta descriptions for brands are not translating over to Google with the Yoast SEO plugin even though the meta info is provided.
