    I imported products into woocommerce and they came in under the “uncategorized” category. When I got to bulk edit and change the category to the correct one(s) (uncategorized is not selected), it still does not remove the product from the “uncategorized” category. I have tried the numerous times, the only way it works is if I go to each individual item and change it to the correct category. I have over 2000 items to categorize, need to figure out what’s causing this. I have deactivated all plug ins and the only one activated is the woocommerce one. I have changed my theme to storefront. The issue has not gone away. Here is my status report….

  • Hi @pritzer97,

    Thanks for reaching out.

    I understand that you’re having trouble with bulk editing categories for your imported products.

    Looking at the shared system status report, I’m unable to notice any discrepancies that could lead to such issues. I also tried importing several products without any categories and bulk editing them changes their category to the correct categories.

    I would first recommend asking your host to clear their server side cache then trying the following steps:

    1. Go to your WordPress dashboard and click on ‘Products’.
    2. Check the boxes next to the products you want to change the category for.
    3. From the ‘Bulk Actions’ dropdown, choose ‘Edit’ and then click ‘Apply’.
    4. In the bulk edit window, find the ‘Categories’ option.
    5. Check the box of the category you want to assign to the selected products.
    6. Uncheck the ‘Uncategorized’ box, if checked.
    7. Click on ‘Update’.

    Please try the aforementioned steps and let us know how this goes.
