Import/update only product categories

Hi @strarsis,

Is it possible to only import/update product categories.

Yes, you can use an “Existing Items” import to do that: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/recurring/manual-record-matching/.

I don’t want to change any other fields in the WooCommerce products, just the product category.

On Step 4 of the import you can choose to only update the categories, or only add new taxonomies, to add the categories and leave the other data alone: https://d.pr/i/EklmTY. That said, in rare cases other plugins can bypass these settings, so it’s best to make a back-up and test with 1 product before updating them all.

Hi @strarsis,

I am marking this as resolved since it’s been inactive for quite some time. Please open up a new topic if you have any questions.
