Feed included extra products from variations

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugin and reaching out to us. I am not sure I understand your question correctly. Are you saying there are draft products in your feed? That should not be possible as the plugin only retrieved published products.

                // Construct WP query
                $wp_query = array(
                                'posts_per_page' => $offset_step_size,
                                'offset' => $nr_products_processed,
                                'post_type' => $post_type,
                                'post_status' => 'publish',
                                'fields' => 'ids',
                                'no_found_rows' => true,
                );

Hey there,

If you will open the feed(https://wholesalecolorpowder.c.wpstage.net/wp-content/uploads/woo-product-feed-pro/xml/5cbe09d02f3ab1a6cf3a727084cd4771.xml), you will notice that there are 27 products in here that starts with https://wholesalecolorpowder.c.wpstage.net/?product_variation=. They are all not existing in the site’s product catalog except as a variation in a draft product. See examples: https://prnt.sc/sio7tm

The correct product links in the feed should be something like https://wholesalecolorpowder.c.wpstage.net/color-powder/color-powder-single-5lb-bag/.

I hope that clarifies everything. Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

Our plugin does not add parent variable products to feeds, see for an explanation here: https://adtribes.io/can-i-add-mother-products-to-my-feed-and-leave-out-the-variations/

This products is such a parent variable product:
https://wholesalecolorpowder.c.wpstage.net/color-powder/color-powder-single-5lb-bag/

The parent variable products itself do not make it to the feed but all variations of that parent product do make it to the feed.

I am not sure why these products make it to you feed: https://wholesalecolorpowder.c.wpstage.net/?product_variation=
Seems like they somehow do sit in your database as published products otherwise our plugin won’t retrieve them. Anyhow since they seem like incomplete products too (based on the XML feed) there are several ways you can filter them out. This one will do the trick: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h78w2hbgrj5vwdl/title-empty.png?dl=0

Hey! That worked! Thanks, guys! ??
