Sorry, I put up a landing page. The bypass is: https://storetest.rigwald.com/?cmp_bypass=test

Something else that might have happened. When you copy the cells, click ONCE where you want to paste them. It is possible, you are clicking twice on the destination cell and pasting all the info into the input line (right under the menu ribbon). It will look like it is going in all the boxes, but it isn’t. If you have a cursor in the input line, it will put all the data in that one cell, not spread it across multiple cells. This is just a guess for why everything is packed in the one column.

Ok. Try saving it as an excel file and post it.

@matteku,

Post a link to the CSV file that won’t import and I’ll see if I can figure it out. ??

@matteku

Cze??. I don’t know. I’m not well versed in this. My guess is don’t save it specifically as UTF-8. Simply save it as it was. I know documentation specifically mentions UTF-8, but since you are editing the file WooCommerce created, there should be no need to convert it/save as.

When I create a CSV file to import, I don’t specify UTF-8 and the new attributes go perfectly.

Hi @riaanknoetze,

I can’t, because I have read so many in the forum and on www.ads-software.com, not github, specific for importing products (specifically variable products).

I’m sorry, but I don’t see how that matters for my question. I know the CSV file has extra columns in it, since it is based on an export from our POS system. I exported from a demo site to compare columns for products and made sure to either rename or add them to the import csv. When importing, WooCommerce allows me to map the columns to the import data and to ignore the columns not needed. Everything imports properly EXCEPT the type(simple, variable, variation) and that is what I am trying to figure out is wrong. If I export the same imported items, change the values in the type and import as an update to existing products, the type changes. It just doesn’t work on the initial import, so I am trying to figure out what is happening, so I don’t have to import the same products twice just to get the type correct.

Hi @rubick322,

Thanks for the reply. All the original images are x 288px. When the last image showed as taller, I used the edit image feature to make the height visibly shorter than the rest, to test if it made a difference, which it didn’t. The image continued to show taller, despite setting the height to 250px, while the rest remained at 288.

Is the widget (or even the theme) displaying images proportionally based on width, since it was the widths that were slightly different on all 3 images?

Also, Is there a location for recommendations of image sizes for each of the widgets/products/etc… for this particular theme, so that images can be created/scaled appropriately prior to uploading to the media gallery?

Thanks!

Let me try to be clearer, because it will create the new global attribute to be used for multiple products.

1) Export the current item with your current attribute.
2) Open the CSV and create a new item on the row below your exported item.
3) Copy FILL DOWN all the attribute columns, to basically copy all your taxonomies, etc… to the new item.
4) RENAME the name of the attribute (so, change bawelna to jedwab)
a) Make sure there that under Global, you have “1”, to make the new attribute a
global attribute.
5) Repeat 2-4 for any other materials you want to create attribute for.
6) Save and import the CSV (DON’T CHECK UPDATE PRODUCTS).
7) Jedwab and any other attributes will now be in your global attributes for use everywhere.

That should do it.

(I’ve been battling importing variable products, but all my attributes have been importing perfectly like this. ?? )

Cze??!

I’m new to this, but I think I stumbled across a solution for you from my experimentation.

Export a variable item that has those attributes assigned to it. (If you don’t have one with all of them, make a fake product and associate all of them to it.)

The CSV file will have all of them in it in the Attributes columns.

Add a new product to the CSV file (can be fake) and copy the Attribute cells from the exported item to the new product. Give the attribute the new name you want. Make sure to have “Global” set to 1, to make it a global attribute.

Save your CSV and import it. It will create a new product and will automatically create the new attribute.

If you have multiple new attributes you want to create with the same original taxonomies, just make multiple new products in the csv, before importing it.

I hope that makes sense.

I know exactly what the question is, because I had the same question. ??

It the GT Product Grid widget, it has a “HOT PRODUCT” column that features a single item from the category. Is there a way to specify which product is featured in that column?

It appears that it simply places the first item from the category there and then continues listing the category items in small form in the last 2 columns of the widget.

(Here is the site I’m playing with that shows “TIES” as the “Hot Product” : https://storetest.rigwald.com/ )
