I have tried this so many ways with pretty much all your plugins as premium (Composite, Grouped, Bought together, Bundled).
I was previously using (WPC Grouped plugin) because it allowed me to add a (WPC Composite product), but the total price is not updating on my archive page product cards. (maybe a work around is a settings option in the product > Grouped Products tab to update the General tab total product price?).
-------
So I'm now trying as a Smart Bundled Product (using WPC Bundled products) because it appears your this plugin will update the product > General tab regular price total for me so then it will show on the product archive page product cards instead of being blank or empty.
-------
So with all that being said....
I have a main composite product using WPC Composite Products (lets call it AA) setup. (I really need it to be a composite product because it has 2 mounting options when buying that is in a select box. But this option is NOT required, so therefor not needed to be selected when adding it to a bundled product.)
I'm trying to create another product as a kit (or bundled product with that main AA product) using your smart bundled plugin (premium).
But when I search for it in the area to add product AA in the Smart Bundled > Bundled Products tab it won't let me select that composite product it is greyed out. It seems to only allow me to select simple and variable products.
I tried also using your WPC Bought Together plugin but composite products are greyed out and not selectable using that plugin also. (img attached)
I know you recommended WPC Force Sales (on my other ticket https://wpc.ticksy.com/ticket/2920688/) but can a WPC Composite Product(s) be added to that? (The free version doesn't seem to allow it, same grey'd out result) I'd like to use this option.
I have bought several of your plugins and they don't seem to be working together like I had hoped.
Can the WPC Bundled Products plugin be updated to add composite products or is there a work around?
For your information, it's possible to add Bought Together and/or Force Sells products to the main product as Composite product.
You're opening the Bought Together tab of the Smart bundle here https://www.screencast.com/t/Ja5CpdyFk so it's impossible to add the composite product. You should open the Composite product page, then open the Bought Together tab from there.
Here you can type in to add products as Bought Together. You can even add both Bought Together (optional items) and Force Sells (required items) products to the same Composite products.
Kindly note that the free version of both plugins only allow simple and subscription products. If you would like to use variable products and variations, you must use the Premium version.
I don't need Force sales or Bought together in a composite product. I need to add a composite product in force sales or in a bundled product.
That does not work. They are grey'd out.
Again my composite product has 1 component that is NOT required. So adding composite product to Smart Bundle, Force Sales or Bought Together I think should work in this situation.
Even if I needed that component selectable why can't that selection option be carried over like it would be in a variable product?
As I stated before, it's IMPOSSIBLE to add a smart bundle to another composite product or smart grouped product. These special product types are equal and work individually. That is decided technically.
Force Sells or Bought Together can only be simple, variable or subscription products. You can only add Force Sells or Bought Together products to the main product as Smart Bundles, Smart Grouped Product, or Composite Products.
I'm NOT trying to add a smart bundle to a composite product like you stated.
I'm trying to do the exact opposite.
I can understand technically why a bundle of products can't be added to a single product. (That makes perfect sense to me.)
------
I'm trying to add a Composite Product to a Smart Bundle Product. I can add variable products to a smart bundle and a composite product is basically your version of a variable product (but just way cooler and way easier because I can actually use real woo products. This is awesome because I can update pricing across all products without having to change each individual variation the standard way in woocommerce. Saves enormous amounts of time..)
------
What does work and why I am asking and what brought up this ticket to begin with; is I am allowed to add a composite product to a smart grouped product. (BUT, in the product general tab > regular price input box doesn't populate automatically like it does when using the smart bundle product type. Thats why I'm trying to use smart bundle instead of smart grouped. I need the product prices to update so they show up and are not blank or $0.00 on the front end.)
I have stated clearly that the special product types (Smart Bundles, Smart Grouped Product, Composite Product) CANNOT be included in any other product type. Either way you would like to try, it will NEVER work.
Did you read my next sentence after that? I think most users would be able to understand that "work individually" means these product types cannot work INSIDE any other product type.
Unlike normal simple or variable product types, Smart Bundles, Smart Grouped Product & Composite Products are a lot more complicated than you think. Don't just assume that it's possible then force it to be true. They're very complicated product types.

I'll close this one because of duplicated content. Kindly follow up the progress on your issue in the previous one.
