Topic Tag: How to build a site with Toolset

Problem:
The user was using a form to create products from the frontend, the attributes were not appearing in the products on the backend, and they were appearing in the WCFM dashboard.

Solution:
It turns out that WooCommerce saves the attributes in the taxonomy terms table when a product is created. And If it is a variable product it also saves the attributes in a custom field on the product (_product_attributes). I think that WooCommerce pulls the values of this custom field in the backend and that WCFM pulls the attributes from the taxonomy terms table.

Syncing this will need custom code.
