Hi!

As this ticket was created on the English forum I prefer writing in English, but for future chats or tickets in German, I will be glad to assist you in German.

Sadly I am not able to convert this ticket back to a chat.

I created a WPML test site yesterday and I still need to run some tests, as the latest version of our export and import plugin is also new to me.

If you would like to chat with me, then you need to open a new support request (chat) on the German forum. I am connected now and available.

About the staging:
Yes, it would be very helpful to revise the issue on your staging site.

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the website to investigate the issue further.

You will find the required fields below the comment area when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

IMPORTANT
Please be sure to make a backup copy of the website and database before granting us access.
If you cannot see the wp-admin / FTP fields, your post and website login details will be set as PUBLIC. DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

I may have to here. Install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" to create a copy of the website so I can investigate the problem in more detail.

The private reply form looks like this:

Next time you respond, click “I still need assistance.”

Best regards
Andreas

Hello,

Thank you very much for the access to your staging site.

1) I ran all available updates (22 plugins available, 18 updates completed, and 1 Update for Divi)

2) Unter Einstellungen > Permalinks habe ich die WooCommerce Permalinks der entsprechend korrekten Ausgangssprache zugeordnet.

3) I translated the product permalink slugs. For more info check WooCommerce > WooCommerce Multilingual & Multi-Currency > Shop URLs.

Finally, I reviewed your import templates and you did not use the custom fields to connect the imports.

Please read this guide:
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-export-and-import/preparing-import-files-for-wpml-export-and-import/#importing-post-types

Please give this another test. Take note that this only will work if you import DE as Original content and FR as translation while using our custom fields on each import template.

Hello Andreas

Thanx for your great support and help!
I did now delete all the german products and want to import it again via All Import Export Plugin. But somehow it looks different...
Also I didnt import the Taxonomies, coz they should already be imported, is this right?
I never made a special Taxonomy Import or CSV file. Do I have to creat an new Taxonomy file?

My understanding is, that I now import the German and after the French Translation using the special language meta tags: Term Meta and Map them. Is this right?

Somehow after the update the importing process looks different.

Helllo again

I now deleted all the products and made a fresh import with the standard language german and the additonal language meta tags.
Following I imported the french translation also with the language tags.

Good news, the language tag worked and the products got imported right in DE and FR.
But what didnt work is, the SKU and Price couldnt be imported and matched.
Why is that? Is it because there are still old products in the trash. Is it because I used also a unique_identifier??

Yes, this could be trash-related.

Please clean the trash and try again.
