Update via rest API

Hey there, @chosendaone! Thanks for contacting us. I’m happy to help you.

To confirm, if you disable WP Gridbuilder filters and ACF fields (and any other plugin that interferes with the product or product page), are you able to see the changes on the front end?
The reason I’m asking is to see if the issue is happening with WooCommerce core.

If you are not able to replicate the issue with only WooCore, please reach out to the third-party plugins support channels, as they will be better suited to assist with their plugin.

If you are able to replicate this with only WooCommerce, please let us know so we can assist you further.

Please let us know how it goes.

Have a wonderful day!

Well in case of WPGridbuilder the changes are visible on product page. I mean if change color from black to red, it is visible in product tab as red, but in filters there is still black value until manual update of product.

I cant say about ACF because without plugin there are no fields to show.

I wonder if is it possible to simulate /force manual update after any API action?

I was trying to add this code but without results:

add_action('woocommerce_rest_insert_product', 'handle_product_update', 10, 3);

function handle_product_update($product, $request, $creating) {
    $product_id = $product->get_id();

    $post_data = array(
        'ID'            => $product_id,
        'post_status'   => 'publish',
        'post_type'     => 'product',
    );
    wp_update_post($post_data);

    $product = wc_get_product($product_id);
    $product->save();

    clean_post_cache($product_id);
    wp_cache_flush();

    if (function_exists('acf_save_post')) {
        acf_save_post($product_id);
    }

    do_action('woocommerce_update_product', $product_id);

    $attributes = $product->get_attributes();
    if (!empty($attributes)) {
        foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
            if (is_object($attribute) && method_exists($attribute, 'get_id')) {
                wp_update_term($attribute->get_id(), $attribute->get_taxonomy());
            }
        }
    }

    flush_rewrite_rules();
}

function update_product_meta($product_id, $meta_key, $meta_value) {
    update_post_meta($product_id, $meta_key, $meta_value);
    do_action('updated_post_meta', $meta_key, $meta_value, $product_id);
}

Hi @chosendaone

I change the attribute color of the product to black through the API, then on the product edit page and on the product page these changes are visible, but WP Gridbuilder filters will not notice this change. The same is true for ACF fields. Clicking update solves the problem.

It seems like the issue might be related to the caching mechanism of the plugins you’re using, not updating immediately after a change is made via the API.

This is a third-party plugin, and we don’t provide help & support for 3rd-party plugins or themes as they’re outside our support scope. It would be best to reach out to the WP Gridbuilder and ACF plugin developer for further assistance.

Additionally, the code snippet you’ve shared seems correct. It’s trying to manually update the product and clear the cache after a product is updated via the REST API. However, the issue might be related to the sequence of actions or the specific actions you’re trying to use. You can try the following:

add_action('woocommerce_rest_insert_product', 'handle_product_update', 10, 3);

function handle_product_update($product, $request, $creating) {
$product_id = $product->get_id();

wp_update_post(array('ID' => $product_id));

wc_delete_product_transients($product_id);

if (function_exists('acf_save_post')) {
acf_save_post($product_id);
}

do_action('woocommerce_update_product', $product_id);

$attributes = $product->get_attributes();
if (!empty($attributes)) {
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
if (is_object($attribute) && method_exists($attribute, 'get_id')) {
wp_update_term($attribute->get_id(), $attribute->get_taxonomy());
}
}
}
flush_rewrite_rules();
}

Please note that writing or providing custom code is not within the scope of our support policy. If you are still having problems, we recommend asking development questions on the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your question. You can also seek help from the following:

• A local web developer
• Codeable.io
• WooExperts

I wish I could help more, but hopefully, this gets you going in the right direction to get the job done.

Thank you very much, it works that way. I’ve another problem with API maybe u can help without creating new topic.
