# Will no longer sync & stuck in a loop

 *  Resolved [walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/)

 * [7 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/will-no-longer-sync/)
 * This started about three weeks ago. Finally gave up, deleted the plugin, deactivated
   and disconnected the store. Then I reinstalled the plugin, activated it and then
   connected in MailChimp. After 5 hours it will not sync. So, I repeated the process
   and it will not sync. I have about 20 products so that is not the issue. The 
   logs also, for whatever reason, show from a month ago even though I deleted the
   plugin.
 * Something somewhere is not being removed when the plugin is removed and added
   back. I cannot sync my store and it is really frustrating. Any ideas?
 * Here is the kicker, it is stuck in a loop. It will not complete and it just keeps
   looping, over and over again. It has over 1000 of these lines of these exact 
   same number. Please help!

 * Hi [@walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/), thanks for
   reaching out. When you have a minute, check out this support thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-syncing-8/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-syncing-8/).
   Most specifically, the last comment on the first page about the http_worker_lock
   site transient. If you’re able to delete that, it may do the trick.
 * Let us know how it goes. If that doesn’t work, we’ll be happy to look at your
   install closer.
 * Thanks,
    Kyle

 * Hi [@walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/), you can 
   delete the site transients several different ways, but the easiest way might 
   be using this plugin if you’re not familiar with doing it through the database:
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/transients-manager/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/transients-manager/).
 * Give that a try if you’d like and let us know what happens. Also, in a few weeks,
   we should have the latest version of our plugin that will take care of this automatically.
 * Thanks!

 * [@walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/) this to me sounds
   like you’ve got some caching going on – and the values from the site options 
   might not be clearing out correctly when you’re deleting the plugin. Are you 
   deleting the plugin from the admin area or are you doing that through FTP?
 * Also – have you verified with MailChimp support that your store is currently 
   active? If you would like – please reach out to me directly ( ryan at vextras.
   com ) and send me a temporary API key so that we can try to troubleshoot this
   a bit further. I would like to see if the store ID’s match up or if you’ve not
   connected a store etc.

 * [@walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/) sorry for the
   radio silence – we did just release version 2.1.10 on Tuesday, so if you haven’t
   updated the plugin yet – please do so now.
 * Also – If for whatever reason it’s still stuck in a syncing state and not moving,
   you can click the tab for `Sync` and then in the browser add `&resync=1` and 
   click enter… the button for re-syncing should show up again for you to start 
   over.
 * If that’s still not working – I would just attempt to uninstall -> reinstall 
   one more time with the new version, and that should do the trick for you!

 * Hi [@ryanhungate](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhungate/),
 * I did do all that. Please see the link. I made screenshots, and documented what
   is going on.

 * [@walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/) – just to be
   clear – did you uninstall and reinstall the plugin just recently, or did you 
   simply do the re-sync option? The answer actually makes a difference in what 
   I would want to do next.

 * [@ryanhungate](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ryanhungate/) Yes, I deleted
   everything, re-downloaded the plugin, installed and activated. Then in mailchimp
   I went ahead and reconnected. Unfortunately, it still cannot find all the products.
 * This is the same on all my sites using the plugin.
 * Video of screencast
    [https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffmj0uukas4mmji/Recording%20%2355.mp4?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/ffmj0uukas4mmji/Recording%20%2355.mp4?dl=0)
 * Bestseller feature is also not working as it only pulled in one category and 
   wrong colors for best sellers.
 * In the videocast in the link above it shows my other site with the most current
   update also. It is weird.
 * **UPDATE**
    This is happening with a lot of inventory, this is an example of 
   just one case. In my main site, the issue is worse as I have thousands of products.
 * Just looked at the log and items are missing. I also have seen an error with 
   variations.
 * 2018-10-05T12:18:26+00:00 ERROR product_sync.error :: addStoreProduct :: 14423::

   1493 in /home/public_html/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-for-woocommerce/includes/
   api/class-mailchimp-api.php
 * Now the log shows that both item 06 and 09 were synced, but in mailchimp only
   one is showing.

 * Hi [@walkinverse](https://wordpress.org/support/users/walkinverse/), thanks for
   the follow-up information. At first glance, it looks like there may be an issue
   with how some of the variations are being pulled into the product list when building
   a campaign. We’ll investigate further and report back as soon as we find something.
 * Oh one last question, are you’re seeing the right SKU data for these products
   under a subscriber/customer that bought them?
