    Is it possible to view or list orphaned product variations?

    I successfully updated a large number of variations by exporting and importing them. However, there was an SKU error importing the parent (from the same csv) and now I think that this has created orphaned variations.
    I’ve carried out a product export but they’re not showing in there. So, my questions is, is there a way that I can view, or list orphaned product variations?

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

    As I understand you want to list the orphaned variations to remove them, right?

    If this is the case, you can remove them by going to WooCommerce > Status > Tools. There you will see an option to delete all orphaned variations.

    Please make sure to make a backup of the site before doing this, so that, should something go wrong, you are able to easily restore your site:

    I hope this was clarifying. If you face any issues or have any questions, please let us know so we can assist you further.

    Have a wonderful day!

    Hi @carolm29,

    Thank you for your response. I’m aware of the option to delete orpahned variations. However, I wanted to list them before doing so. When I performed an export, nothing was showing, whhereas I was expecting to see 244 orphans due to an error that I had made during an import.
    My issue is now resolved. However, i’d still like the ability to list orphans.

    Have a great day!

    Hi @steadfastspl,

    I’m glad to hear that your issue has been resolved.

    As for your request to list orphaned variations, WooCommerce doesn’t provide this feature directly. However, you can achieve this by using custom SQL queries or by using third-party plugins that are designed for database management.

    With that said, I also suggest reaching out to a developer, as this involves customimplementations. The WooCommerce community is filled with talented open-source developers, and many of them are active on the channels listed below:

    Have a great day too!
