Suddenly unable to enter SKU codes

  • Hi,

    I have been entering products into woocommerce and have been using the ‘Copy to a new draft’ feature. I have been happily changing the relevant details and then publishing them and then suddenly and without any apparent reason, the SKU codes wouldn’t change. I tried starting with a brand new product and entered all the details including the relevant SKU but when I publish, the SKU code disappears.

    In both scenarios it says ‘Product SKU must be unique’.

    Obviously I am trying to enter unique codes but woocommerce has decided to suddenly stop accepting any. I only have 183 products on at the moment.

    Any help would be great!

    TIA

    Yep! Hellooo, any body got an answer?
    We are adding new products into WooCommerce with update WP Core and WooC, every time we input the SKU code, it gets stripped out.

    Like Thumoo, we ‘only’ have 40 new products.

    Please help.

    With the problem I was having, I found that the products I was entering seemed to be copied as drafts which weren’t showing because they were at the end of my products, so every time I tried putting the SKU code back in, it was stripping it out.

    What I did was delete all the drafts I had and then sorted the published products by SKU code and deleted a couple (don’t know how that happened) of duplicates, then removed them permanently from the trash. Once I did that, I logged out, back in again and then everything was back to normal.

    Hope the above will help you too bloohair.
