[Resolved] Get the value of a custom field of a WooCommerce product

I have read many posts and tried many snippets, but I can't seem to make this work ????
We have the WooCommerce Google Product Feed plugin, but we need more control over the <title> in the xml feed, so we found a snippet filter:

function lw_woocommerce_gpf_title( $title, $product_id ) {
    return xxx;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_gpf_title', 'lw_woocommerce_gpf_title', 10, 2 );

When we set the return to "test", it displays in the xml, so the code works.
However, we are unable to return the value of our custom field 'google-merchant-product-title', it is empty.

 return get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-google-merchant-product-title', true); 

What are we doing wrong?

Hi Kristof,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. I have tried to analyze your code and as I see you need to replace this line:

 return get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), 'wpcf-google-merchant-product-title', true); 

With this line of code:

 return get_post_meta( $product_id, 'wpcf-google-merchant-product-title', true); 

And it will return the correct product ID.

Thank you

Sorry, but that did not help, the <title> element is still empty

<title>
<![CDATA[ ]]>
</title>

That’s a bit strange, may be this is related to your case:
hidden link

If above is not sufficient still, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and check this. Please note that we do not debug custom code or custom requirements much as per our support policy (https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/) but I would like to take a look and see what I can find.

Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

✙ Please also let me know where the xml file or php file is located for this particular function, and if there is any page or CPT related to that where I can find that Custom field, please share all that needed info.

Thank you

Thanks for providing more info and login. I just checked and WP login info is not working.

First it said wrong user or password. On next try this link shows 403 Forbidden error:
hidden link

I have attached a screenshot. Please check and advise further so that I can login. Next reply will be private only.

Thank you

I am sorry but it is still not working, at first it said wrong user or password and on 2nd try it gives 403 Forbidden error.

Thanks, but still not able to login. On first attempt to login, it says "Too many login attempts locked out"

Please disable your Security plugin (e.g. Wordfence plugin) or this security system temporary OR provide us access to an easily accessible staging site hopefully.

My network also having dynamic IPs and I often switch between my networks. Thanks

I have thoroughly checked this issue and tried to get the ID for variable product but I am not succeeded in that. When I check with Simple products it does get correct ID.

When I add variations for the Variable product, it does show variations Title in this format:

Product Title (Variation name) Product's Variation ID 

Test product I created: hidden link

But it does not return custom field value in the title with the given hooks of the plugin and this is true even for Standard WP fields (non Toolset fields).

I also checked WooCommerce api and that feed plugin’s API doc but I can't find anything that talks about getting variable product ID like we need it.

Since the issue also occurs with Standard WP Custom fields and standard WooCommerce variable products, it is mainly between WooCommerce + WooCommerce Feed plugin, this falls out of our support. I would suggest to please contact that plugin author and ask them if they have any such hook that can allow to modify Product Title in the feed for Variable products and replace that with a Custom field (native one), as this is not documented yet.

I assume they will probably have some internal hook for this. I will also try tomorrow and see if I can get it by any workaround but I am not certain on this at moment.

Thanks

UPDATE: I think I manged to make it work, I am testing it further and will update you here shortly, please wait few minutes.

Thank you
