• Does anyone know of a tool that would enable us to bulk edit custom attributes? We’ve got about 80 or so custom attributes and thousands of custom attribute values …. I haven’t been able to find anything that would enable this type of bulk editing apart from non-custom attributes …. Any feedback appreciated!

    I was looking for the same thing and the closest thing I have found is this plugin.
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-bulk-attribute-manager/

    HOWEVER!!!!!! It has not been updated in a while and is is stated to only work with WP 3.8.6 which was a long time ago. I have used a few tricks to KIND OF make it work as I develop and test it on my localhost.
    Keep in mind that I’m not sure if it is because I was/am using with WP 4.1.1 but it seems to delete all attributes that arent specified in the bulk edit now, as opposed to just adding on.

    My Process:

    01. BACKUP YOUR FILES & Database FIRST!! <– MUST DO!!!!!!
    02. Create product attributes you want/have to bulk add.
    03. make a [temporary] product category for the [current] attribute(s) you wish to BULK modify e.g. product category named “BULK EDIT WIDTH”
    04. Add ALL products you want to [currently] bulk attribute edit to that category.
    05. Go to Products->Bulk Attribute Manager.
    06. Select the product category you made in step 3.
    07. select the Attribute(s) you want to add to all those products
    08. Bulk edit.
    09. DELETE the temp category made
    10. Repeat for each attribute

    REMEMBER to keep in mind that this might mess up the attributes a product has before it gets bulk edited if you are not using the compatible WP & WooCommerce it states on the plugin page.

    Enjoy testing and tweaking. It gets tricky but this is what I have done.

    I upgraded to WooCommerce 2.3.7, WP 4.1.1 and it destroyed all attributes except for the current bulk edit. Maybe it works better with the new WooCommerce 2.3.8. I haven’t tested it yet.
