Encoding problems with “&”
-
I’m importing a URL into my woocommerce- “variation description”. This URL has “&” in it (http://www.example.com/products/?/products/?product=6321,01,74,00&lng=DK&category=). In my CSV-file this URL is correct, but when I look at the imported data, within woocommerce, the “&” has changed to “& a m p ;” (without the spaces, as wordpress.org is replacing this html-tag to &) – so the url looks like: “http://www.example.com/products/?product=6321,01,74,00& a m p ;lng=DK&category=”. Pretty annoying.
You require 100000 information when creating a ticket on your official site, and I dont have time for that.

In \wpai-woocommerce-add-on\libraries\XmlImportWooCommerceProduct.php you should change line 585 from
$this->pushmeta($pid, '_variation_description', wp_kses_post($product_variation_description[$i]) );to
$this->pushmeta($pid, '_variation_description', htmlspecialchars_decode( wp_kses_post($product_variation_description[$i]) ) );That fixed the problem.
Hi @unicco,
This is actually how WooCommerce works, if you manually try to save this URL
http://www.example.com/products/?/products/?product=6321,01,74,00&lng=DK&category=in the variation description you will see$ampas well.To fix that, in your import template you can wrap your variation description in the htmlspecialchars_decode function, like this:
[htmlspecialchars_decode({my_var_desc_data[1]})]
