Title: Variable product sync and hide Last modified: October 25, 2020 --- # Variable product sync and hide * Resolved [insideril](https://wordpress.org/support/users/insideril/) * (@insideril) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variable-product-sync-and-hide/) * Hi, * I can’t show variable products on the catalog. * Every time I create new product, it “sync and hide”. This is not virtual product! * On facebook I see * > Missing or Incorrect Data > This error may appear for up to 30 minutes after > you make your updates. Product Not Visible: visibility Product should be visible > for Facebook to show it to users. * I can’t change it to “sync and show” because there is no facebook tab on variable product. I see this only on simple product.

I’m sorry to hear that the plugin isn’t working as expected. I am happy to help out here. 🙂 * The Facebook **visibility setting** will show “Sync and hide” when it is set to _staging_. To change the setting to “Sync and show” the product must be _published_. * Will you please check that the products you are having issues with are _published_? ​ Additionally,​ would you please be able to paste your system status here so I can get a better idea of what might be going on? You can grab it by going to:** WooCommerce > Status** and clicking on **Get system report**. * Thank you, Erica * [timih](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timih/) * (@timih) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variable-product-sync-and-hide/#post-13593635) * Hi… * I have the same issue with our store. All variable products are set to “Sync and hide” which means we can not use them for our Instagram promotions and are not correctly displayed on the Facebook store. Error on Facebook is the same as OP. * Products are published. It does seem like we can not change this to “Sync and show” manually in Woocommerce? I found a workaround today to set visibility to true manually in the Catalog manager. - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [timih](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timih/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [timih](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timih/). * [Erica – SkyVerge Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericaskyverge/) * (@ericaskyverge) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/variable-product-sync-and-hide/#post-13593664) * Hi [@timih](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timih/)! * Thanks for reaching out about the plugin.
