Hi @brandgeeks,
Is there any place in the feed plugin, where you can select “custom fields” or something like that? If there is – our EAN field’s name (or meta key) is _alg_ean.
If that doesn’t help – could you please send me the feed plugin zip so I could check its code? My email is [email protected].
It does have a dropdown to chose from, but that variable is not there. I tried to email you but i got an error. Any other way email i can use?
Did you receive the mail? Because i got an error and an confirmation this time 😉
@brandgeeks,
Yes, I’ve received the email. Let me check the code and get back to you.
Hi @brandgeeks,
I’m going to make the plugins fully compatible in the next plugin version. Meanwhile, there is a solution (it’s basically the same as here):
It looks like the feeds plugin doesn’t “like” the starting underscore _ in our _alg_ean meta key. So here is what you can do – in “WooCommerce > Settings > EAN > Advanced” you will find an option – “Meta key” – set it to something without the starting underscore symbol, e.g. alg_ean. Then set EAN for some product in your shop, and after that, you should be able to select it (e.g. as “alg_ean”) in the feeds plugin.
P.S. After you do that, you should probably click on the “refresh the field list” link in “WooCommerce > Settings > Product Feeds”.
P.P.S. After you change the key from _alg_ean to alg_ean, all your existing product EANs will disappear. If you want to keep them – there is a way: you need to use our “WooCommerce > Settings > EAN > Tools” section. There is “Product Tools > Copy product meta > Copy EAN from product meta for all products” tool there. You need to set the “Meta key” option to the old key (i.e. _alg_ean) and run the tool – it will copy all old EANs to the new ones.
Hi again @brandgeeks,
This is now fixed in our plugin v3.0.0 – now our field is listed in the “Google Product Feed” plugin’s “custom fields” even if you leave the underscore.
