Problem: When WPML is active, importing products using a CSV in WooCommerce results in products being set to post status 'draft' even though the 'published' column is set to 1. Without WPML, products are imported with post status 'publish' as expected. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, it's important to complete the linking of languages with WPML Export Import after the initial product import. This step ensures that the products are set to the correct post_status as assigned in your CSV file. Initially, products may appear as drafts, but this is temporary and resolves once languages are fully linked.
