Category field suddenly not being exported

  • Hi,

    Recently it seems that product categories are no longer exported when using custom headers. They previously worked and I am not aware about anything peculiar that could have changed on the site, other than WordPress updates and installing some other plugins (however I don’t have a clear culprit… the other plugins are not really concerned with WooCommerce products).

    The “category” column in CSV is empty.
    It only works when trying to export using “All” headers.
    I tried adding a very simple header file, containing only a very few columns, including the Category and it still isn’t exported when using the header.

    It seems that the correct name for the mapping property should be “categories”.
    I don’t know why now the plugin only allows me to select “category” for mapping, which is not correct. At some point in the past it was fine, though.
    I worked around this by manually editing the import headers in DB (wp_options -> where option_name = ‘woocsv_headers’) so that it contains a reference to “categories” instead of “category”.
    To edit the option_value field you need to use php deserialize() and serialize() back again.
