    I am on WC version 2.1.6, and I have 36,000+ products in inventory, and that inventory is updated daily via a live feed/backend script.

    I need to tag all my products, the feed data only comes in with categories, no tags included.

    I have installed Strictly Auto Tags https://wordpress.org/plugins/strictly-autotags/ which seems to be the best, most current Auto Tagging plugin that I can find. While it identifies tags as it is supposed to, it does not apply them to the products. The plugin author is not familiar with WC, and doesn’t have any input for me as of yet, asked me to inquire with WC support.

    Please help and thanks in advance!

  • it would be a fairly simple change to allow this. rather than a post type of “post” it would be post type of “product’ and instead of a taxonomy of tag it would be product_tag

    Thanks very much for simplifying this for me…!

    I am not sure where I need to change this…Except actually, I think the plugin consists of essentially one PHP file so guessing that’s where 🙂

    I will be giving this a try, and sending your reply to the plugin Author who has very graciously and promptly replied to my inquiries asking for this type of info, so I am crossing fingers that this is solved…

    THANK YOU!

    (Mods, I will mark this as “resolved” after I implement the change and any follow-up questions that could ensue…)

    Woohoo…And we have success…!!!

    Thanks to bheadrick’s helpful post and input from the plugin’s author Robert Reid at Strictly-Software.com (May I link here?) I got this working in about 5 minutes. To help out anyone else interested in tagging Woocommerce, here is what I did:

    1) The plugin will identify products because it has been coded to find everything that is not a “a page, attachment or revision …” thus product_posts are good (no action, just FYI.)
    2) Now, rename the file called strictlyautotags.class.php to strictlyautotags.class.php.txt and open it in your favorite text editor, do a Ctrl-H Find/Replace on all instances of $posttags and change them to $producttags,
    3) AND do a Find/Replace for all instances of post_tags and change those to product_tags…

    Re-save the file with the proper PHP extension, upload it to your /wp-content/plugins/strictly-autotags folder, then do a bulk edit on a handful of products to change them from draft to published, and observe the lovely tags!

    Thanks again bheadrick and Robert!
