[Waiting for user confirmation] Split: variations do not stay

Hello,

our 2nd tier found the issue and it is another instance of known issue.

You need to go to WPML > Settings and set "Copy taxonomy to translations" is not set. It general shouldn't need to be, and we are going to escalate it further for permanent fix.

After checking that setting and with the fix from the erratum it is now working correctly on my local copy of the client site.

- https://wpml.org/errata/manually-editing-translated-variable-products-loses-variations/

Please check.

Hello,

you are right, and apologize for that, I forget we have disabled this together.

I will check again with 2nd tier if any other workaround, but in the meantime you can fix the issue each time after save via WPML > Support > Troubleshooting > Synchronize Products > Synchronize variations.

I know it is not the best solution, but is okay workaround while we wait for 2nd tier.

Hello,

thanks for getting back, no need to repeat the issue, we already confirmed the bug on our side and escalated it, so we are aware of the problem and issue and how it is caused.

Can you please adjust the code as explained bellow, it should work fine then:

In woocommerce-multilingual/classes/Synchronization/Component/Taxonomies.php.

Find next code that looks like this:

private function runForTranslation( $productId, $translationId, $language ) {

		$taxonomyExceptions = [ 'product_type', 'product_visibility' ];
		$taxonomies          = $taxonomyExceptions;
		if ( $this->sitepress->get_setting( 'sync_post_taxonomies' ) ) {
			$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( 'product' );
		}

Change the code to look like:

private function runForTranslation( $productId, $translationId, $language ) {

		$taxonomyExceptions = [ 'product_type', 'product_visibility' ];

		$attribute_taxonomies = wc_get_attribute_taxonomies();
		$taxonomy_slugs = array_map( function( $attribute ) {
			return wc_attribute_taxonomy_name( $attribute->attribute_name );
		}, $attribute_taxonomies );

		$taxonomies = array_merge( $taxonomyExceptions, $taxonomy_slugs );

		if ( $this->sitepress->get_setting( 'sync_post_taxonomies' ) ) {
			$taxonomies = get_object_taxonomies( 'product' );
		}

Make sure to have a backup.

Let me know how it goes.
