Si immagino non abbia senso fare un aggiornamento solo per questa cosa. Al massimo verifico dove si trova nel codice del plugin e me la correggo a mano, temporaneamente!

Grazie davvero.

“There’s a distinct term slug provided with every item!? That’s useful 😀”

Well, I discovered that WordPress does it on its own.
Tried to add manually another material “Opal” and sub-category “Small”.
The slug got automatically “opal-small”.

“You’re right, relating images to terms is another topic.” I knew I didn’t explain myself correctly.

These medals are special products since in the e-commerce there’s a special drang and drop area where you can upload a custom image to be printed on the medal itself.
We managed this with a plugin.

In the WordPress admin panel, you have a field (in the plugin settings) to specify for which product categories have to be displayed this upload area in the product page.
So the word “Medals” is in this text field.

Issue is that, on every import, the category “Medals” (like every other category) is deleted and created again. So this plugin is, of course, not intended to dinamically search that category again in the db.

That means every morning I find this field emply and have to manually specify again “Medals” and hit “Save”.

Was looking for a way to make a CRON process and insert “Medals” term after the import every night. Tried to ask the plugin dev but didn’t answer. Tried to look if there’s a table in the DB containing this text field but with no luck. It seems something Javascript stored(?) but I’m not able to edit the plugin.

So yeah this is the minor issue now.

Yes, it seems that new taxonomic structure is created on every import.

You know what? I saw that for example the category “Small” under “Bronze” has slug “small”, while for example “Small” under “Gold” has a “small-gold” slug.

Is there a function to set product/post category knowing the category slug?

I’m reading that “wp_set_object_terms” can have slug term, instead of using category ID.

That may solve this issue but I don’t seem to find a function like that around.

What do you think?

@bcworkz

well about the drawback, the client will notice me if there gonna be new categories, so no problem. I can’t find another solution for now.
I’m sure I saw other posts around reporting this issue but they solved it in another way specific for their situation.

Well, I tried to check $cat == “medaglie” in the past but it didn’t work, don’t really know why. Will try again. Maybe I’m missing a specific string checker function.

Also, I check for “medaglie” because even other products may have “argento” or something like that so I want to be sure it is affecting only medals.

About the multi-dimensional nested array…well, I’m not that skilled and I have multiple doubts about it. Will try to read multiple times and test if I’m able to use it.

Thanks a lot for the kind help.

I tested and when importing again, the category ID is always the same, so I might try to make “if” conditions with a fixed ID just for medals categories.

After searching a lot even today, I have changed the code in:

$cat = sanitize_text_field($data[2]);
$cat = strtolower($cat);
$cat2 = sanitize_text_field($data[3]);
$cat2 = strtolower($cat2);
$cat3 = sanitize_text_field($data[4]);
$cat3 = strtolower($cat3);
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $cat, ‘product_cat’);
wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $cat2, ‘product_cat’, $append = true ) ;

if ( has_term( 'medaglie', 'product_cat', $post_id ) ) {
				if ( has_term( 'argento', 'product_cat', $post_id ) ) {
					wp_set_object_terms($post_id, 589, 'product_cat', $append = true );
				}
				else {
					wp_set_object_terms($post_id, $cat3, 'product_cat', $append = true );
				}
			}

Where 589 is the ID of “Small” under “Silver”.
I have to make more if conditions and even one to check where to give 589 or “Large” ID.

Is it similar to what you were thinking about?

I don’t think this is the best solution but it seems to work for “Silver”.
I’m sorry if I’m missing out a lot and not able to understand. This whole thing gives me a lot of confusion.
