Brands appears TWICE under “Products >” menu

@mgz069

Hi mate, we’ve determined that the issue stems from a new feature introduced in the latest WooCommerce update. This feature allows for adjusting the permalink structure for product brands via “Settings” → “Permalinks” → “Product brand base”.

For reference, please see the screenshot: snipboard.io/ZiYHvL.jpg.

This new functionality may be causing the brands to not display as expected. As a temporary solution while we continue to investigate, we suggest changing the “Product brand base” slug to a different value (e.g., “product-brand”) instead of “brand”. This should restore proper brand display.

Additionally, the correct link to access the brands in our plugin is:

wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=pwb-brand&post_type=product. You can refer to this screenshot: snipboard.io/QRoaeO.jpg.

Please be sure to modify the slug to a different value and hit Save. You can find further details in this screenshot: snipboard.io/KJFtwc.jpg.

Hi I did that but they still appear twice

@mgz069 Hi Johnyy, the duplication cannot be avoided because WooCommerce added its own brands feature.

Best regards.

for real??

where is the documentation for this? can it be disabled?

its a major update and can screw up many websites i believe

As mentioned before, the issue stems from a new feature that WooCommerce introduced for managing product brands. This functionality is documented in WooCommerce’s official documentation, which you can refer to for more details. Unfortunately, this is something WooCommerce added, and it is not directly related to our plugin.

When our Perfect Brands plugin is active, it will continue to display the “Brands” tab as part of its functionality. This is expected behavior.

Best regards.

This is a big problem when it comes to adding coupons in Woocommerce. The brands aren’t coming up to be able to add them to coupons. Does this mean I have to set up the brands under both tabs? I already set them up under your plugin. If we have to maintain 2 tabs in order to use coupons, this plugin won’t work for us.

I used this snippet:

https://github.com/mainwp/Code-Snippets-Functions/blob/master/Execute%20a%20function%20on%20a%20child%20site/WooCommerce/disable-brands.txt

If your WooCommerce store already utilizes a custom taxonomy for assigning brands to products, you can disable WooCommerce’s built-in brands feature by implementing the following code snippet. Notably, WooCommerce does not provide a feature toggle that allows disabling this functionality by simply modifying an option value:

wc_feature_woocommerce_brands_enabled

As in the GitHub snippet

@jahrl yes adding that snippet worked!! trhanks

@jahrl That fixed the coupon issue as well. Thanks!
