Once I click the "Synchronize attributes and update product variations" the icon is loads indefinitely and the product variations are not syncing or updated.
I have disabled all plugins instead of Woocommerce and WPML. The theme has been restored to Storefront. The PHP and WordPress requirements have been increased significantly. Max execution time has been increased from 120 to 300. The website is hosted on a dedicated server.
2. If not, could you please send us a copy of your site...or provide a staging site that is a copy of your site with the issue so that we can troubleshoot it freely?
1. I don't see any errors after enabling debug within the wp-config file.
2. I've attempted to download a copy of the website using the Duplicator plugin as recommended but it has failed. This might be due to the enormous size of the website. The package takes forever to install and get's stuck at 60%.
I was previously using the WP Staging plugin to create a staging site where I can freely modify elements of the website with zero downtime. Would you prefer I send you credentials to that instead in order to investigate this issue further?
If not, I also have a relatively recent backup of the website and it's database stored on my Hard drive, would you like me to zip that and send it? If yes, where exactly would you like me to send this?
I see that you have no variable products - all of your products are "Simple".
In this case, the tool you are using is not the right one and you would achieve the same effect by updating the original value product after having translated the taxonomy.
For example
1. You translate a global product attribute (taxonomy) using the Taxonomy Translation tool
2. At this point, you can update the products where they are appearing and it will be updated in the translated product.
The tool you are attempting to use is there for product variations. That being said, the behaviour is not correct and should not time out....and we are looking into this. But I wanted to get back to you about the alternative way you should be updating your translated simple products.
Tried this today, this didn't solve the problem but rather introduced other issues.
Draft products that weren't meant to be published have all been published when once this cleaning setup completed. Thankfully, this was done on the staging site and has little to no consequence. The problem still persists...
A new staging site has been created and the previous credentials I provided you should be the same. If by any chance they don't work, let me know and I'll update them ASAP. website login:hidden link
"And, to confirm, the concern right now is that the Syc Attributes tool is not working for your stie. Correct?"
I took a Duplicator snapshot of your staging site. Curiously, when I installed this on a localserver, there was no option to sync variations for Product Brands.
There was still the notice to update Product Category hierarchies...but once completed, the notice went away. On your server, it does not.
So there seems to be something related to your server. I will need to escalate this to our 2nd tier team for more in-depth investigation.
