ImportWP

Yes that is what i mean 2.0.12 of Import WP WooCommerce addon

I have re-enable the product ID field on the importer (if you can download v2.0.12+) of the import wp woocommerce addon.

The product ID field is enabled o the Template Fields step, in the Product Fields Group, click on enable fields and select product ID.

To make sure that you only update the SKU fields i would recommend under the permissions step, set the “Unique identifier” to ID , and disable the create and delete checkboxes, enable the update checkbox and set the import dropdown to “Only the following fields”, and set the fields textbox to “_sku”.

Then once ran the sku of your products should be updated.

Please make sure you have a backup of your website and database before running any import or exports so that you can easily revert any changes.

Hi,

The exporter was added in versions 2.4+ of import wp and import wp pro, can you confirm that you have these versions installed?

Thanks, i was hoping you were on some old browser but that is not the case.

The bad thing is i know what the error is, how to resolve it but i cant seem to get the error that you have on a local machine.

Are you able to get me a list of installed plugins / versions by going to tools > Site Health > Info and copy and paste the site info.

Thanks
James

What browser and browser version are you using? so i can try and replicate your issue.

Hi,

Sorry to hear you are having issues with the plugin, are you able open up ImportWP page which is displaying the blank screen, then open up your web browsers inspector tools (right click, select inspect) , the panel that opens up click on console, and copy and paste any errors that appear.

Thanks
James

This error is due to you having 2 versions of the importwp-advanced-custom-fields plugin, deactivate the old one before activating the latest one.

I have made some modifications to the ACF addon, can you please download the lastest version: https://github.com/jcollings/importwp-advanced-custom-fields/archive/refs/tags/2.2.1.zip as now has integration with the taxonomy field.

If you enter your csv selectors seperated by commas e.g.

{0}, {1}

Only values that are present will be added to the taxonomy field e.g. Location and sub locations names, empty ones will be ignored.

No, you just need to download and install the free addon.

Hi,

If you are importing ACF fields please make sure you have the ACF Addon installed: https://www.importwp.com/add-ons/advanced-custom-fields-importer/

v2.0.5 released of the importwp-woocommerce addon adding the missing product slug field https://github.com/jcollings/importwp-woocommerce/releases/tag/2.0.5

Hi,

It looks as if the post_name / slug field is missing from the importwp-woocommerce plugin, i have updated the branch here: https://github.com/jcollings/importwp-woocommerce/tree/dev_fix_missing_slug to add in the missing fields, but i still need to write a few tests on this before i can make the update available via the releases tab.

I will let update you when this is available.

You can enable the post_name field (this is the slug of the product and not the title), via the enable fields button at the bottom of the post section.

Hi Max,

Similar to importing a post_type, you can enable the post_name field and this will alter the slug that the product uses.

When importing products, the importer checks to see if your product exists by using the sku, if the sku doesnt exist then it uses the post_name field, followed by the product title, if all of these are missing then it will insert a new product instead of updating. (you can change the unique identifiers for templates https://www.importwp.com/documentation/change-importers-unique-identifier/).

Because you are trying to change the post_name field you will need to reference your products using the sku.

Hi,

Import wp only offers importing to core wordpress post_types and taxonomies, for any extra features such as custom post types, custom fields and many more features you will need importwp pro.

How ever we do offer some integrations with popular wordpress plugins, i have not heard / used this fifu plugin before but if it is just a case of allowing a url to be used as a featured image i’ll add it to my list of possible future integrations to explore what can be done.
