Variants Name In Title

Hello webdesigner27

Thank you for contacting WooCommerce support.

I understand that you’re aiming to include the variation names in the product feed titles for variable products while maintaining the standard name for single products.

To better understand your current setup, I would need to see how the product variation titles are configured on your site.
Could you please provide screenshots of the backend where you set up the product variations titles?

This visual information will be crucial in determining how best to achieve the specific feed titles you want for each of your products, both single and variable.

Please send those screenshots over when you have a chance, and I will be more than happy to assist you further with customizing your product feed titles as per your requirements.

Looking forward to your response. ??

Best regards.

Hi @doublezed2 ??

As you can see in the two eg. screenshots…

• Screenshot 1 Variable Product
• Screenshot 2 Google Merchant Output

The variable product with name “Blauberg – VMR Valvola diffusore Aria in acciaio” have 4 variants (“Blauberg – VMR Valvola diffusore Aria in acciaio 10cm”,”Blauberg – VMR Valvola diffusore Aria in acciaio 12,5cm”,”Blauberg – VMR Valvola diffusore Aria in acciaio 15cm” and “Blauberg – VMR Valvola diffusore Aria in acciaio 20cm”).
I want the feed to be populated, only for products with variations, with the variant name instead of the parent prod. name that is “Blauberg – VMR Valvola diffusore Aria in acciaio”.

The problem is similar to that thread

Thanks ??

Hi @webdesigner27,

Currently, the Google Listings & Ads plugin doesn’t support this feature directly. The feed title is usually composed of the product title only, without variations.

It would be great to have you add your ideas as a feature request, which is where developers go to look for future plugin features and improvements.

Additionally, you might can achieve this by custom coding. You would need to hook into the woocommerce_gla_product_attribute_value filter to modify the title attribute for variable products. This will require some knowledge of PHP and WordPress hooks.

Please note that writing or providing custom code is not within the scope of our support policy. If you are still having problems, we recommend asking development questions on the #developers channel of the WooCommerce Community Slack. Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your question. You can also seek help from the following:

• A local web developer
• Codeable.io
• WooExperts

I wish I could help more, but hopefully, this gets you going in the right direction to get the job done.

Thank you so much @shameemreza!

I know it’s not a technical discussion forum… but I just need to know the exact value of the attribute. Is it “title”, “Title” or “TITLE” ? ??
The correct filter name is “woocommerce_gla_product_attribute_values“.
I’ve seen an example in another thread of this forum and the code is ok for eg. changing the GTIN value… but for title?!?!?!? ??

add_filter( 'woocommerce_gla_product_attribute_values', 'my_custom_function', 10, 3 );
function my_custom_function( $attributes, $product, $adapter ) { $my_new_gtin = get_post_meta( $product->get_id(), '_maxyzla_ean_number', true );
$attributes['GTIN'] = $my_new_gtin;
return $attributes;
}

cos’ in the Adapter the Prod Name is mapped in the “map_wc_general_attributes” function ??

Thanks in advance!

Hi @webdesigner27,

The correct attribute value for the title would be title in lowercase.

Regarding your code snippet, if you want to change the title, you can do so by modifying the $attributes array, similar to how you’re changing the GTIN value.

However, you might need to add some conditionals to check whether the product is variable and whether it has the specific variations you’re interested in before changing the title.

And remember, as I previously explained, hiring an expert for code customization is always a smart move. It saves you from potential headaches down the road.

For development and custom coding questions, it’s best to ask for insight related to those on either the WooCommerce Advanced Facebook group or the WooCommerce Community Slack. Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your question. You can also seek help from the following:

• A local web developer

get_name() for variation … instead get_title()

add_filter( 'woocommerce_gla_product_attribute_values', 'gla_custom_variable_product_title', 10, 3 );

function gla_custom_variable_product_title( $attributes, $product, $adapter ) {
if ($product->is_type('variable')) {
$new_title = $product->get_name();
$attributes['title'] = $new_title;
}
return $attributes;
}

I will test it now and back with a feedback ??

Hi there @webdesigner27,

Sounds like an idea.

Feel free to test this and let us know how it goes. ??

Of course i will ??

One question… Do I need to do anything after modifying the functions.php file in my child theme within the plugin settings?
Do I just need to wait for the re-sync?

Thanks!

Hi @webdesigner27,

After adding the code to your child theme’s functions.php file, there’s no need to make any changes within the plugin settings. However, you might need to clear any caching plugins you may have installed, as well as your browser cache, to ensure you’re seeing the most updated version of your site.

As for the re-sync, it should happen automatically. If it doesn’t, you can manually trigger it from https://example.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=connection-test-admin-page (replace example.com with your domain name).

I hope this clarifies your concern. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

@shameemreza

Thanks a lot for the clarification!
For safety, I manually synchronized all the products.

Nothing is changing… and in the feed inside the plugin the titles seem to remain the same ???? (i’ve cleaned the caches)

Let’s wait!?!

Hi @webdesigner27,

That sounds like a plan.

Please keep us updated on your progress. If this doesn’t work, as explained earlier, it’s best to ask for insight related to those on either the WooCommerce Advanced Facebook group or the WooCommerce Community Slack. Many of our developers hang out there and will be able to offer insights into your question.

Best of luck with your customization.

In fact “title” seems to not be in the Attributes.
Changing the private function of the plugin (risky) … it works like a charm and the titles are now correct on Google Merchant ??

protected function map_wc_general_attributes() {

    $this->setDescription( $this->get_wc_product_description() );
    $this->setLink( $this->wc_product->get_permalink() );

    // set item group id for variations
    if ( $this->is_variation() ) {
        $this->setItemGroupId( $this->parent_wc_product->get_id() );
        $this->setTitle( $this->wc_product->get_name() );
    }
    else $this->setTitle( $this->wc_product->get_title() );
    return $this;
}

The problem will be on the next plugin update… i need to find another solution. ?????

Hi @webdesigner27,

It’s great that you’ve found a solution by modifying the plugin’s private function, though it is not recommended.

However, for a long term solution, you might need to consider creating a custom plugin for your code changes. This way, your changes would be preserved even after the WooCommerce plugin updates.

Remember, you can always seek help from the WooCommerce Advanced Facebook group, the WooCommerce Community Slack, or a local web developer if you’re unsure about creating a custom plugin.

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions or need further assistance.

Hi, I have just found this thread having discovered exactly the same problem . all of my variations have the same title as the main product which is obviously useless for google ads.

Can anyone clarify what the exact hack is to fix this please? I see a couple of options listed above, but its not clear what is the working solution, or where to put it. @webdesigner27, can you just confirm where you added/amended this code please? Thanks!

Also, this urgently has to be implemented into the main plugin as it’s a fundamental problem! Thanks!
