wow, everything is much clearer now.
thank you!
you should update the documentation with the excellent info you gave here!
thanks!!!

yes, that is what i tried, but it is difficult to get an overview of what’s available.

tx!

Anyone having an answer?

Thank you very much!
It is much clearer now!
I suggest to add those clarifications to the documentation!

Thanks for answering!

you said “If you’re trying to import them in the ‘Images’ section to use as featured images and in the gallery, then WordPress/WooCommerce requires them to be downloaded and saved in the Media Library.”

I want my images indeed to appear as product images in woocommerce as featured images.
Q1: Is it mandatory that the images are saved in the media library?
Q2: but what is the difference if i import them under /wp-content/uploads/wpallimport/files/ ?

I want my images imported from another server via url-links in a csv field.
when they are saved in wordpress of course only the file-name portion of the link is pertained.

Q3: So I am not sure if i need to select “match image by url” or “match image by filename”?
Q4: What is the functional difference of these two options?

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for the info, and the unofficial guide. I suggest you include that guide into your documentation because it has valuable info.
I have some more questions:

A) Images
Qa1: You said “There’s no way to detect changes in pictures”. What do you mean by that?
Qa2: I think wp-all-import can check if a certain filename that is in a csv field exists in wordpress or not, right?
Qa3: is there any difference in the functioning of wp-all-import if the files are stored in the media library (i have disabled the month/year folder structure) or in the
folder ./wp-content/uploads/wpallimport/files/ ?
Qa4: can i prevent having image duplicates by using the above folder? What (dis)advantages are there by using that folder instead of the media library?

B) According to that unofficial guide:
a “New Items” import can:

1. Create products.
2. Update products that it created itself.
3. Delete products (that it created itself previously) when they don’t exist in the import file that is in use for the import.
4. Add new variations to existing WooCommerce Products (using this option: Variations > “I am importing new variations to existing products” see https://d.pr/i/DoJKHL).

Qb1: Is option 4 really needed to update variations? Because of my csv data structure I need the option “All variations for a particular product have the same title. There are no parent products.” With this option, will it still update the variations?

C) According to that unofficial guide:
a “New Items” import can’t:

1. Update products that it did not create (whether they were manually created or created by another import).
2. Delete products that it did not create (whether they were manually created or created by another import).
3. Reference the Unique Identifier for another import.

Qc1: what do you mean with “that [the import] did not create?
Qc2: By “another import” , do you mean imports by other programs than wp-all-import or do you mean imports that have a different wp-all-import id number?
Qc3: The manage imports page is also confusing: there are 3 different setting pages!
what is the difference between “Edit import” and “(edit) Import Settings”? Why are they seperate?
Qc4: what is a friendly name? Why and when is it needed? What is the difference between a template name and this friendly name? Why have both?

Thanks a lot for answering this many questions, but i think these can also be valuable for other users of the plugin.

Cheers!

Hi Rynaldos,
Thank you for your answer.
I found your code snipet earlier on an old post from 2015:
https://melissafreeman.com.au/wordpress-bulk-remove-woocommerce-products-attributes-sql-commands/

but the comments state that the table structure has changed since, e.g. woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies table is added etc.

user mansi says there: “I just had to do additional delete queries after this to support latest WooCommerce version. Latest WC stores attributes at another custom table ‘woocommerce_attribute_taxonomies’. It will be great if you can add that part in your article to make it complete for latest WC.”

Can you give an updated version that is up to date to version 4.x please?
Thank you very much!

thank you for your answer

i still have these questions:

2. What effect has this dropdown selection?
3. Why is it there if you still need to go through a complex process?

okay, i will

thank you!

thank you,

but i have a csv with woocommerce data with many variant products and image links, how can i import these?

thanks for your quick answers!

I already have my woocommerce products (3000+ products) translated in csv tables.

1. How can i import (or later export) these translations into falang?

2. what is the difference between falang and wp multilang, as they both use qtranslate?

3. what is the difference between falang and this new qtranslate-XT project?
https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt

thank you!

Any ideas?

Hi,
I have the same problem.

The developer did not answer, but I see that this topic is resolved?

How did you solve the import of woocommerce product translations into translatepress?

Thank you!

It is May 23rd according to https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2018/04/18/woocommerce-3-4-beta-is-here/

‘Release Candidate 1 should be tagged on May 9th and will remain in RC for a further 2 weeks until May 23rd which is our target launch date.’

I see that maybe the mail banker plugin can be the cause of this:
