    hello,

    Can you tell me what I am doing wrong.

    I want to list all my products but there is not option and you limit the display to 1000 lines.

    To search I select
    PRODUCT NAME is not 123abc

    So the result should be all my products as I do not have a product with 123abcd as name.

    Why after showing the first 1000 products there is not ARROW to browse the second page ? I have 4000 products and would like to see displayed 4 pages of 1000 products each.

    Thank you for your help and this magic plugin.

    Hello,

    Currently we limit to 1,000 due to the number of fields and how the web browser handles it. We have plans for a “next page” but currently that doesn’t exist.

    Instead, you can try 2 things:

    1. Add additional filters to work your 4,000 items in smaller “batches” (for example, a price range or a Product Name “starts with” filter.
    2. Edit the main plugin file pw-bulk-edit.php and increase the MAX_RESULTS variable. This *could* cause problems if your web browser is unable to process that many elements.

    I hope these suggestions help, if you need anything else let us know!

    Hello, thank you for you reply, but I think a NEXT PAGE option if definitively needed.

    I have done a shop migration and many products haven’t been imported with all details, so it’s difficult to find them all by using a different search as you have suggested.
    (some products do not have price, some do not have SKU, etc…)
    Maybe an option so search products WITHOUT SKU, or products WITHOUT PRICE, etc… could help.

    AS I remember your previous version was showing more than 1000 products ? And it was working for me when I tried it. Maybe you could have an option to choose HOW MANY PRODUCTS TO DISPLAY (with a big double warning, or hidden option) ? (instead of modifying pw-bulk-edit.php).

    In case you are interested I also can suggest a better option to edit SKU:
    Now it is possible to choose a SKU that will be added to all products. It works.
    But when editing products 1 by 1 it is not possible to save the product without modifying the SKU again (2 products cannot have the same SKU).

    So maybe you could add an option to AUTO SKU (based on product name ?) or maybe add numbers to SKU chosen by user.
    For example if I want my SKU to be MYPRODUCT, you could add a different SKU for all products by adding numbers: MYPRODUCT-001, MYPRODUCT-02, MYPRODUCT-003, etc….

    Then users won’t have any problem with SKUs when editing products manually.

    I am just telling the problems that I met, but anyway your plugin is really great !

    Thanks again.
