You are trying to update a field via import using WPML, specifically _regular_price_gbp. While the import works correctly and the backend shows the updated data, these changes are not reflected on the front end unless you manually update each product.

If you\'re experiencing this issue, we recommend that you do not import the main price directly. Instead, import two custom fields related to the secondary currency: <code>_regular_price_USD</code> <code>_price_USD</code> Ensure both fields have the same value. In our test site, the main price is set in Euros. This solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at <a href=\'https://wpml.org/known-issues/\'>https://wpml.org/known-issues/</a>, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at <a href=\'https://wpml.org/forums/forum/english-support/\'>WPML support forum</a> for further assistance.

davidH-172	I have no also tested importing both _regular_price as well as _regular_price_usd together (two fields) and the sqme behaviour persists. Are we able to escilate this in some way. It seems a clear and obvious bug if the data imports, and can be seen, but required you to manually edit the product and click update.

Otto WPML Supporter since 09/2015 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) Timezone: America/Argentina/Buenos_Aires (GMT-03:00)	Hello, I got a reply from the second-tier: I was able to update a product, and the new price was showing on the frontend without updating the product. In the Import settings, I added regular_price_USD, price_USD, wcml_custom_prices_status and _sku In the template, I added _sku in the WooCommerce Add-on just to have a piece of content updated that is not a custom field The first import was skipped because it was identical to the previous one, so I uploaded a new file where the price was 110 On the second import, the product got updated in the backend and the frontend Video: hidden link; But as you can see in the video, they were changing the currency settings also, so I asked for confirmation without doing that, and I just got this reply: hidden link Can you please give it a try? Best Regards, Otto
