Can’t get Brand field to populate from ACF

    Hello,

    I’ve added a custom field to my products using ACF. It is for BRAND information.

    The field shows up on my products, and I can populate it.
    It also shows up in the bulk product editor plug-in I use, and I can populate/edit it there.

    I can select this field in the feed editor, and I have linked with the Brand tag.

    But the in the resulting feed the Brand tag does not appear at all. I am guessing that’s because for some reason the plug-in determines the linked field is empty (just a guess). I know it is not empty, due to the other ways I’ve tested it.

    For example, I have tested the custom field with the “WooThemes Google Product Feed WooCommerce Extension” (from woocommerce.com) and it shows up in the feed as expected.

    But with WooCommerce Product Feed Pro, it doesn’t show up. I am not sure why.

    Any suggestions?

    This support question can be ignored for now.

    I’ve since realised that, unlike the other four Feed manager plug-ins I’ve tried out, your one does not allow having the “mother” or top level product from a variable product.
    Because most of my products are variable products, none of those were going into the feed, and it was only those products I had utilised the Brand information. So the reason my search for “brand” on the XML feed came up empty is that none of my variation (“mother”) products were in the feed.

    Hi,

    Thanks for reaching out. Our plugin indeed skips the parent products (includes variations instead) for most marketing channels. We have explained the reason for it in this blog post: https://adtribes.io/can-i-add-mother-products-to-my-feed-and-leave-out-the-variations/
