 * Hi,
 * This is a great plugin, but for some reason we cannot get any product sets to
   pull across into our connected Facebook catalogue/commerce manager.
 * I set it up in the Product Sets area of the plugin, specifying the WooCommerce
   categories it should use to create the sets. Instead, when we visit our catalogue
   on Facebook, we end up with everything in ‘All items’ and no sets created.
 * Furthermore, if I check ‘Categories’ on Facebook, the only category that exists
   is called ‘500044’ and I have no idea why. If I check ‘Product type’ on Facebook
   there are no options at all. So categories don’t seem to pull across at all.
 * We are running the latest version of the plugin, WooCommerce, our theme and WordPress.
   I have tried deleting the catalogue on Facebook, reinstalling the plugin and 
   starting afresh and we end up with the same issue each time.
 * So how can we get our categories to pull across to Facebook so we can create 
   Product Sets? Is there something we are doing wrong? The rest of the product 
   information seems to come thorugh without any issues.
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@shadician](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shadician/), thanks for sharing
   the details here, and I’m sorry to hear you’ve run into this issue.
 * The inability to create product sets is currently a known bug in the plugin, 
   and our developers have it queued to review. You can follow along with the bug
   report here: [https://github.com/woocommerce/facebook-for-woocommerce/issues/1993](https://github.com/woocommerce/facebook-for-woocommerce/issues/1993)
 * Regarding the category, please enable logging in the plugin settings so we can
   see what’s happening there. After the next sync (up to 15 minutes), please check
   the log under WooCommerce > Status > Logs – you’ll find Facebook listed in the
   drop-down on the right.
 * Use CTRL or CMD +F to find any references to ‘error’, ‘500044’ or ‘category’.
   Let us know what you find.

 * Thanks for your assistance. Great to see the product sets bug is being worked
   on already.
 * Regarding the categories not pulling across, I enabled the logs as suggested 
   and ran a search for those terms. ‘error’ did not show up once but ‘500044’ shows
   up 209 times, as does ‘category’…so every time it’s specifying the ‘google product
   category’ it’s listing it as ‘500044’ instead of the actual category.
 * It’s really strange, categories are working just fine on our site otherwise. 
   We use them to pull different product categories into different landing pages
   and continue to have no problem with that, or with category searching. Any ideas
   what could be causing this strange behaviour or what else we can try?
 * Thank you
