That should ensure that the product is created correctly first. * That is the only thing I could think of as to why your code isn’t working. * 1. Does the vendor show up if you update the has_products=”no”? This should remove the product filter and show all users with the vendor role. * 2. Does the product show assigned to the vendor in the WordPress admin? * cheers, * Jamie. * Thread Starter [elronaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elronaldo/) * (@elronaldo) * [6 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-vendor-product-from-code/#post-12653088) * >> has_products=”no” * This is usermeta? By updating it I should set it to ‘yes’? * [Jamie Madden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalchild/) * (@digitalchild) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-vendor-product-from-code/#post-12671226) * Hi [@elronaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elronaldo/) * Apologies, this reply was buried in our logs. has_products is the shortcode argument to say get all vendors, not just vendors that have listed products for sale. * cheers, * Jamie. * [Jamie Madden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalchild/) * (@digitalchild) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-vendor-product-from-code/#post-12675507) * Hi [@elronaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elronaldo/) * Were you able to successfully create the product via the WooCommerce APIs? I did a quick test and this should be the correct way to do this with code. * cheers, * Jamie. * Thread Starter [elronaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elronaldo/) * (@elronaldo) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-vendor-product-from-code/#post-12675537) * Jamie – I had already added the has_products element after a direct database record comparison with a Vendor who had been added ‘by hand’ – I’ll be testing on Wed to see if the vendor gets a directory listing OK, and if the sale is attributed to the vendor properly. I’ll let you know the result after I test. * Thanks for all your kind help…. * Robinson * [Jamie Madden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digitalchild/) * (@digitalchild) * [6 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inserting-vendor-product-from-code/#post-12675539) * Hi [@elronaldo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/elronaldo/) * Ok, please do let me know how it goes. The shortcode allows you to show all vendors regardless if they have any products, or only list those that have products. This allows you to have a directory of only vendors that have products. The products attributed to them are based on a query to check the products post_author field for each vendor_id. So programmatically or usual product creation shouldn’t matter. * cheers, * Jamie.
