Bulk Edit – Broken Cannot manage Products

Have you checked ‘categories’ in screen options?

Yes, checked category in screen options, and toggled on and off, and left it marked, and it fails. Weird, nobody else reports this problem.

No way to bulk move producst from 1 category to another using wordpress cores. One at a time works perfect using singular “edit” and quick edit.

Bulk trash works fine…just not bulk edit changing product from 1 category to another..such a simple need is so horrible when it does not break.

I am crippled.

No way can I manage my site editing 1 item at a time.

I meant such a simple concept is horrible when it breaks…I do not even have any clue as to what to do next….

Thanks for your help, tho.

This actually works quite well for me (bulk edit categories on posts) on several installs so I am confident it is not actually a WordPress core issue…try deactivating plugins and then switching to default theme to test.

Yes, of course, my developer loaded simple theme as a test, no plugins and it failed.

He went on to research WP tickets and found some interesting discussion on this topic:

https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/17053
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/8690

Are you sure, in your test, you can select 3 items in manage products, choose bulk edit and see them “checkmarked” in their respective categories? You don’t need to do any testing passed this.

We cannot select multi items and see their category name “checked”.

Can you tell me how we can reproduce your environment to see it work perfect. What PHP version are you using, what WP version you using, and what test theme are you using?

We have no plugins enabled, we stripped it down to loading child themes basic to test and it fails…

We are dead end, and need to find out why you work and we do not.

Im crippled over here. Overwhelmed with product management and NO bulk tool.

THANK YOU so much for giving me hope.

Those tickets are two and four years old, and both were closed without action – both were reviewed and noted as not attributable to core WP.
(2) closed bug reports on ten of millions if installations…not a bug.

Since you note you have a developer, he/she should know how to debug. Since they appear not to, perhaps a developer with more experience would be advised?

Always run the latest version, default theme and no plugins to test core functionality.

It would be more helpful for you to post a link to your site and also a link to a php info file for us to review…

And, do you see my links to the left? One goes to my profile and one to my main site…

Again, it appears, imho, that a lack of experience on both your parts may be the issue.

I appreciate your time and trouble. You have moved a piece on the chess game which has narrowed my ability to continue with developing this conversation less hostile, seems perhaps you jumped ahead to finger pointing.

Could you be so kind as to send me screen shots that bulk edit does show the category marked that you are in?

a) Manage products
b) Select 3 items (that are only in 1 category and not multiple cats)
c) Bulk Edit and look for a checkmark, can you see one
d) Screen capture & email to me.

My developer is a “theme” developer who I asked to load a basic theme, no frills on his server, and he had same issue at first glance. He is NOT a code developer.

I do not have as code developer, I have a problem and I am lost in a maze of finger pointing.

Shopperpress owner developer says its WP core, hosting company reloads WP core files, honors my request to drop back from PHP 5.3 to 5.2.17. No changes.

You say its me and my developer. Loading a basic theme with no frills and no plugins on 2 diff servers (one in US and 1 in Europe) with same failure is coincidence?

You have challenged me as part of the problem, I wish t challenge you and see screen shots to see if indeed you could be my salvation and part of my solution.

[email redacted]

Disclosing my site is not relevant at this time, and I am not about to turn over passwords for a “look” until I am confident you know what your talking about.

It does not take skill to point fingers, it takes greater skill to resolve problems.

Show me your skills.

@leenoga – support is provided on these forums only, not by email.

Help here is 100% volunteer – so if you need better help, please consider hiring someone who does have the skills to help you. You can post a job listing here: https://jobs.wordpress.net/

Please also be aware that these forums do not support commercial themes and that if there were a Core WP issue, it would likely be very widely reported on these forums. Can you replicate the problem in the twentytwelve theme?

And a final note, disclosing the site allows experienced forum support providers to review the site and perhaps make suggestions…without, we can provide much less support…

But since you once had a link here to a site (no longer working) and a current site attached to your name is up and running wordpress (with several server related issues), I can again only suggest, as I have, and as Yogi did, that you may require some more advanced help.

I wish you well in your endeavors.

I apologize for the email. I meant no mal intent.

I understand the volunteers and those who have used boards to troll new business.

I am neither. I am a person with a problem. I am not going to hire a developer until they can prove they can do the job. Maybe to many years working on-line, 20 exact….

I am all for hiring a solution to my problem, but I do not think finger pointing resolves my issues. Don’t think any random developer can fix this.

I challenge any developer to prove they do not have this bulk edit problem. Once I see this, I can take this to resolution.

I have a problem, and I need a solution, and tremendous effort has gone into resolving this at many levels. It all points back to WP, sorry to say.

Please show me via a URL screen shot, you have no issues. I challenge any developer to show me they have no bulk edit issues.

Why would I want to edit 1 item at a time with an affiliate program importing 10,000 products in.

Coming here is not out of convenience, I have done extensive efforts to get to root of problem, and I am here as last resort, ALL roads lead to WP issue. There is no where else to turn too, maybe folks don’t need the bulk edit feature and hence don’t care to talk about it.

I need “bulk” edit, its broken, and I want screen shots I am wrong Mr. SeaCoast, you engaged me and out of respect I simply ask you to show me your the one to hire.

Job negotiating or soliciting is not allowed on these forums, so this line of discussion is not appropriate here, sorry.

Please use the link above to find a developer who can help you.

IF you want help here, you need to switch to the default theme with NO plugins and start troubleshooting that way.

And here is the screenshot…

And this suggests that the issue is actually in your importing script.

Moderator, I am not soliciting, that was not my point, I have a problem, and I am being told “hire a developer”.

I have no other people volunteering a point of view..

I have a problem, I need a solution, and at least I am able to talk to somebody via your forum. This train needs back on track, I apologize for coming across as a forum rule breaking member.

I have spent 36 hours editing x1 product at a time, I spent yesterday with server down time trying diff software versions. I need my site in commerce and I am crippled without the bulk edit working.

I have waited for any email from shopping cart developer… I have no where to turn but here. All correspondence has been finger pointing as I sit here editing 1 product at time.

I apologize for my sensitivity to Mr. SeaCoast coming down on me in a finger point type of way. That seems to be prevalent with my hunt for resolution.

I mean no trouble, no disrespect.

It is hard to know what to believe when WP IRC channel on freenode confirmed the error, take it or leave for what that is worth. It just makes me more leary there may be no solution.

So I am going to resist somebody/developer saying, “No issues”, of course I want them to prove it to me, not saying the WP IRC channel is gospel but they did not dismiss my issues as “user broke it”.

Hard to trust strangers who in post #3, get a little “edgy”.

No trouble from me. Much respect for the forum and the contributors.
