 * Really struggling.
 * I’ve got a set of products (printed leaflets) I want to load into WooCommerce.
 * I set the various attributes as follows:
 * Size
    Quantity Paper Weight Service Speed
 * For some reason I can combine size & quantity to provide me with, say 2 x 2 =
   4 variations.
 * If I then add either of the other 2 attributes, for 2 x 2 x 2 = 8, say, it creates
   8 variations OK.
 * But Paper Weight, is not selected either 1 or 2, it just says “Any Paper Weight”.
   Same with Service Speed. With all 4 attributes selected, both Any Paper Weight
   and Service speed remain unselected as to their variation.
 * You can manually edit each one, add a price and then the whole thing works.
 * But the problem is there are actually far more than 2 variations to each attribute.
   I’m just using pairs to test because each time it fails I have to go and delete
   8 products to re-test.
 * Plus, I have lots of other products I want to do this with. A manual entry system
   may work round it but its not a longterm fix and I honestly thought WooCommerce
   V2 would have got round these issues.
 * Things I’ve done to try and fix it:
 * – set attributes to both Named and Custom Sort order; there was a bug where it
   would not work at all (generates 0 variations) a while back unless set to Named.
 * – deactivated all plugins except WooCommerce
 * – made sure everything is updated to latest versions
 * – made sure Reviews is unchecked and a shipping class is assigned
 * – deactivated my theme and tried with Twenty Twelve
 * – added one product and given it a price, then Published, then tried to link 
   all variations.
 * – removed custom CSS “hide SKU” wrapper
 * – cleared WC Transients, Expired Transients
 * – deselected “visible on the product page”
 * – deselected category
 * – made sure there is text in the description and short description
 * – made sure tags are clear
 * …I just keep reproducing the behaviour, over and over.
 * If I make a new set of attributes called Custom with variations V1 and V2, then
   plug that in, it generates my products with variations intact!
 * If I create a new one called Card Weight instead of Weight, its back to Any Card
   Weight again! So I thought maybe its because there are spaces in the Card Weight/
   Weight names, removed all the spaces, still doesn’t work!!
 * Can anybody think what I have possibly done wrong? Is it something in my nomenclature?
   I’ve had this working before months back, and just had to get around the first
   issue mentioned, the Named/Custom Sort order field for the attribute.
 * Example of attributes that work:
 * A6, A7, A5, DL
    50, 100, 250, 500 V1, V2, V3
 * But yet:
    250gsm gloss V250 ‘250’ gloss “250” gloss
 * ….all do not work!
 * What on earth is the difference here?
 * Is it something to do with the fact 250 is used for another item? 250 is a quantity
   which I need.
 * Can attributes not contain any content that another contains? The slugs are different,
   as are the names, but they seem to be clashing in some way?

 * AArgh, its just getting worse. I went and changed all the slugs on quantity from:
 * 50
    100 250
 * etc
 * to
 * q50q
    q100q
 * so they couldn’t be misread, if that is what is happening. Now only size generates
   properly in variations, all my others do not.
 * Setting them back works fine.
 * But trying to assume that a very short slug, for example 5d and 4d for my turnarounds,
   is what allows them to ‘set’, also fails.
