Import not working

    I am having trouble with importing tabs into my site.
    I export using the standard Woocommerce Export and than re-import that exact file untouched and my tabs all disappear. when I look in the database it looks like the re-import is adding a serialization of all the characters in the string at the beginning of the string than a quote (ie. s:3163″) it is also adding a quote and semicolon at the end (ie. “;) I am only changing one of three arrays and when I count the characters and correct the count manually in the database the tabs reappear.
    Is there a step I am missing?

    Hi @ajwd,

    I recently discovered that Woocommerce’s default import/export can break our tabs but there is a filter that should prevent this. I was planning on adding that filter to the base plugin by the end of the month. If you need it earlier, I can send you the code.

    Let me know.

    All the best,
    Kevin.

    Hi Kevin,
    If it already ready to go that would be great! Otherwise I can hold off a month. I appreciate your quick response and help.
    Thank you,

    It’s not a perfect snippet right now. It removes a lot of WooCommerce’s import sanitization instead of removing just the piece that we need to. I can give you the refined snippet before the plugin get’s released though.

    Hi – i have a site with 600 products and when i import using woocommerce import i invariably overwrite some data (due to how wc import works) however what i really want to know is how to add a specific tab to a specific set of products. IE content stating delivery not available but content around it. Is there a way to import this?

    Hi @mprice14,

    There is no way to add or change tabs via WooCommerce’s default native export. If you want to add tabs to products, check out WP All Import (and the WooCo add-on), and our WP All Import add-on.

    Oh and @ajwd, I had some time to work on the import filter function yesterday. A new version of the plugin should be released today or tomorrow.

    Cheers,
    Kevin.

    Thanks @yikesitskevin. Thanks for all your hard work. People like you are the reason I use Woocommerce.

    Hi @ajwd,

    That worked?! You re-imported and the tabs are back?

    Let me know!

    Thank you,

    Sorry for the delayed reply, It worked! I did notice on export that it no longer gives me a selection for yikes_woo_products_tabs under ‘Which columns should be exported?’. It is however exported when Export Custom Meta is checked. Everything is imported correctly also. Thank you for your help.
