Thanks! You mentioned every time you increased the memory you’re getting an error with a higher amount –> Can you share what you changed the memory limit to?

As my previous config says, it is now 4 gb of php memory limit (which is huge)

I had it first at 128m said tried to alocate 156mb, changed to 1gb said tried to alocate 1.2gb. I now have 4gb and same errorr

Hey @stefanoid3,

That is strange and not something I’m personally seeing on any of my test installations. What’s the average number of variations which are present on your products?

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for reply. With a small number of variation works perfectly. However, as you may have guessed have 7 attributes with 10 terms each (around 1000 variations).
I can’t make an excel file because it would take me ages.
How can i overcome this memory issue?

I can keep increasing the memory up to 30gb as long as i know that woo can do this.
maybe this is a limitation of Woo?
