Duplicate Product & Missing Product
-
Hi Guys,
I use the plugin to create a product feed for FB & Instagram. The feed created uses default variations only and has the exact same amount of products on it as the backend of Woocommerce says are published, 279 in total.
However, I was importing the xml feed into a Google Spreadsheet and comparing it to a list of all the products & variations to see double check if any are missing. It turns out that I have one product missing from the FB feed that should be there, as I only have 278 unique product codes. So I ran a duplicate test and found one of the products was duplicated, bringing it back up to 279.
There’s no reason why the product should be duplicate, I double checked that it has default variation set etc.
So, has anyone come across this problem before where one product is missing and has instead been replaced by a duplicate of another product?
The item group ids go like this:
28265 – incorrectly missing
28266 – included
28267 – duplicatedThanks in advance for any help

Hi,
Thanks for this. Seems like you are getting duplicates is because you mapped the item_group_id to the g:id field. The item group ID is not an unique ID but the parent product ID of a variable product. With the mapping you created your variations of a variable product will all get the same g:id value and as such be reported as duplicates. Can you revert back to the default field mapping where the g:id field is mapped to the “product ID”?
Hey,
That’s where I started from though, and it does not prevent duplicates, it simply prevents Facebook from picking up on them. The product is still in the feed twice.
Also, it just hasn’t worked in general, see below how the item group ID is different to the ID and yet it is still duplicated:

Whereas the product ID in the feed might if the default variation is changed, which would remove the product from the FB shop and delete the tags from my posts. Which just happened on all my recent posts because of the ID change I just implemented haha.
