# Facebook sync issues

 * 1. When I’m “tagging” products on facebook some products are populating twice.
   When we added SKUs about 6 months ago we did not add it as a new item we just
   added a SKU to the existing product. I’m not sure why it would have synced to
   our facebook/meta stores twice like this… Do you have any idea why? Is there 
   a way to sort of “resync” all of the online products to facebook? I see products
   we no longer offer also on our facebook…see next concern.
 * 2. There are quite a few products that are showing up that don’t have. When I
   try to delete them from the Facebook catalog, it won’t let me because it needs
   to be done through woocommerce, but they aren’t on woocommerce anymore. Not sure
   if there’s a way to just do a whole resync or if the settings are incorrect for
   pushing the products to facebook or what…

 * Hello,
 * Sorry to hear about this.
 * Can you please remove one of the products that are duplicated (both instances)
   and then re-save that product in your WooCommerce store (The goal is to force
   it to re-sync)? If it is duplicated again, please let us know.
 * If it is not duplicated, you will need to do the same with the rest of the products(
   re-sync).
 * Please navigate under _Marketing > Facebook > Debug_. Make sure debug is enabled.
   Then please go to _WooCommerce > System Status > Logs_ (See if there are errors
   coming from Facebook for WooCommerce), let us know what you find.

 * Hello,
    We’re not fully following what you want us to do. The issue is that they
   are only duplicated on Facebook and only listed once in the product catalog. 
   So we can not remove one of the products that are duplicated since they’re only
   showing up once in our product catalog. Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * Sorry to hear that.
 * To help you investigate, please share a copy of your site’s **System Status report**:
   You can find it via **WooCommerce > Status**. Select “Get system report” and 
   then “Copy for support”. 
 * Thank you.

 * I pasted the requested info below.
 * I also noticed a few other discrepancies between Facebook and Woocommerce product
   catalogs. Is there a way to just force resync of our Woocommerce catalog completely
   with Facebook?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@jfblanc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jfblanc/)
 * Thanks for sending the System Status Report.
 * `WC Database Version: 6.9.4`
 * As a first step, please update your WooCommerce database by going to `WooCommerce
   > Status > Tools > Update Database`.
 * > Is there a way to just force resync of our Woocommerce catalog completely with
   > Facebook?
 * In the event products are not syncing as expected, a sync can be triggered manually
   via the `Marketing > Facebook > Product Sync` tab by clicking the `Sync products`
   button.

 * If this did not resolve the issue, deleting or resetting all products from the
   Facebook catalog and then letting things sync again is the only way to fix strange
   issues. This requires a code snippet, which you can [read more about here](https://woocommerce.com/document/facebook-for-woocommerce/facebook-for-woocommerce-delete-or-reset-all-facebook-products/).

 * Thanks! I’m following the guide to Reset products from Facebook but where do 
   I need to add the code snippet? I tried adding it to the functions.php file but
   it seems like nothing happened.

 * Hello,
 * You can add the custom code in your functions.php file, or you can use a plugin
   to add the snippets separately, for example, the [code snippets plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/).
 * It will help to add custom PHP code into your site without directly accessing
   the functions.php file. Here is an [article](https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-add-custom-code-in-wordpress-without-breaking-your-site/)
   that explains how to use the Code Snippets plugin.
 * Best.

 * Hello,
   I tried this but it didn’t work.
 * Is there a way to just fully restart the Facebook shop and re-link from our Woocommerce
   store to start over? Can you share instructions what steps need to be done?
 * Thanks!

   let us know. We’re happy to help.
