In reply to: [WooCommerce] I need a Barcode / Scanner pluginIf it worked for your first 120+ products but not new ones, it’s usually not the scanner itself, it’s how the barcode is stored.
Common causes:
- barcode/GTIN missing on new products
- stored in a different meta field than older products
- duplicate barcodes
- assigning the same barcode to multiple variations (this is quite common and can break product lookup)
Scanning relies on a 1:1 match, so if multiple products/variations share the same code, or the field isn’t consistent, the system won’t know what to return.
For a setup like yours, a proper barcode workflow should:
- ensure each product/variation has a unique barcode
- keep barcode data in a consistent field
- prevent duplicates
- support fast lookup for POS/cart
- ideally include label printing
This page outlines those basics and what to watch for:
https://stokkap.app/features/barcode-scanningOnce that’s cleaned up, scanning should start working reliably again regardless of the app/plugin used.
Thanks for update.
So far it’s been working okay for the past 20 days. My tool that i built didn’t detect any attempts to flush permalinks or changes so all has been running fine.
You mention when category changes are made, plugin calls flush permalink, but does it flush properly when there are lots of redirects due to massive collection of categories, in our case almost 600 categories. When the issue occurred, only some rewrite rules were present in the database and most were missing causing 404s.
Thanks i’ve opened a ticket Your ticket ID is #86406.
I’ve done some more testing and category description imports only if category name field is also supplied.. More info in the ticketi’ve tried again and on the other staging site and category description still has not been imported.
Here’s the video

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Preload isn’t working reliablyThanks for your reply.
We don’t have premium so unable to check purge logs :/
the .old pages are definitely not being served to users when they turn .old
just now i identified flush all in the log – is that a garbage collection?
[Fri, 11 Apr 2025 14:00:21 +0000] [] [-] flush allwhen that happens it deletes the old files, but also renames valid cached pages to old for some reason, they haven’t even reached expiration yet, which is set to 2 days for html, i don’t understand what’s happening. THe preload has worked really reliably for us
when i search w3tc_flush_all i can only see my triggers from wp adminForum: Plugins

In reply to: [W3 Total Cache] Can’t convert all images to webpthat did the trick!
but why does it require so much memory now?
Hi, here’s the link to one of the product page https://devsites.mspbuddy.uk/balnecroftnew/gundog-training-aid-1lb-rabbit-skin-dummy/
i provided wrong details in the previous message, forgot that i replaced premmerce permalink with rank math SEO function to remove product slug
unfortunately latest version causes more problems.. Now PostSMTP not working due to wp_mail declared in pluggable by your plugin.. Sorry switching to competitor plugin
found the issue, Meta: rank_math_primary_product_cat tag was not actually empty but was pointing to nonexistent category id which happened during product and categories import from the live site. I used webtoffee import/export and deleted all Meta: rank_math_primary_product_cat value for all the products.. All good now.
