Hi, the fault remains :(. I carried out the change as described above and know that the file in Google Merchant is the latest feed.

Here is an extract from the file downloaded from your plugin –

<g:title>World Scout Lanyard</g:title>
<g:description>World Scout Lanyard, purple The World Scout Lanyard is great for hanging a whistle, keys or identity card. Often used by a leader, it has the five official World Scout languages printed on the ribbon. The lanyard comes with a safety break, detachable clip and swivel ring. With this added feature you have the flexibility to change the end clip fittings from an ID card to a GPS. The scout purple is a favourite among leaders. The lanyard is 20mm wide.</g:description>

Thanks for the quick reply.

Each new fetch I create I alter one of my products first (e.g. add a word to the description). I then download the fetched file and look for the additional word, if it is there I know the latest file was used by Google.

I’ll re-run my process i.e.
a) add a word
b) refresh the feed in wordpress, check the output file and confirm the additional word is there.
c) Go to Google Merchant and fetch the latest file, then re-process the file. Check the products list for the additional word and check the product id.

You never know it may work this time. If it doesn’t I can send you the relevant files to review.

Fingers crossed!

Thanks tobbe for your excellent help with this. Installation is now complete and the plugin is excellent.
