Hi @wood1e ,

I confirm this concern, please add the following snippet to your child theme’s functions.php or through the Wp Code plugin.

/**
 * Escape special characters in Product Feed Pro link attribute (g:link) for valid XML.
 * Prevents invalid feed when URLs contain &, <, >, etc. (e.g. UTM parameters).
 *
 * @param mixed  $v       The attribute value.
 * @param string $k       The attribute key/name.
 * @return mixed Filtered value (escaped when $k is the link attribute).
 */
add_filter( 'adt_product_feed_xml_attribute_value', function( $v, $k ) {
	$link_keys = array( 'g:link', 'link' );
	if ( ! in_array( $k, $link_keys, true ) ) {
		return $v;
	}
	if ( ! is_string( $v ) ) {
		return $v;
	}
	return htmlspecialchars( $v, ENT_XML1 | ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' );
}, 10, 2 );

Once added, it should escape the values so Google can safely read the feed without any parsing errors. Please note to refresh the feed after adding the snippet and view the feed file via Incognito mode to verify the changes.

Hi @chrisv234 ,

At times the feeds can misbehave. To fix this simply try creating a new feed or duplicating the feeds and see if that fixes things.

Also, please go to WooCommerce > Status > Logs >> Scheduled Actions. Check for any failed scheduled actions related to product feed pro. It should give an idea on why the refresh fails.

But in your case where the automatic refresh results to less products is usually fixed by creating a new feed.

Hi @antonellov10 ,

If you disable the include variations option then, only simple product types will be added to the feed. Can you please confirm if you only have Variation products in your store?

If yes, then you will need the include variations option. It’s okay to include this as Meta requires the item_group_id to determine the products parent.

If you are using our Meta template on feed creation then the item_group_id should be automatically added.

Hi @golfball-uhu,

The snippet I’ve provided should work with all types of feed or marketplace.

See video here: https://www.loom.com/share/635d39c2ec34433fa3e7c19c47fdb3cb

But looking at your video, you are using product parent description; The code I’ve provide only works with description and short_description

Here’s an updated code that targets all description field mappings:

function storefront_pfp_strip_description_formatting( $product_data, $feed, $product ) {
	$description_keys = array(
		'description',
		'short_description',
		'raw_description',
		'raw_short_description',
		'mother_description',
		'mother_short_description',
		'variation_description',
		'variation_short_description',
		'raw_parent_description',
		'raw_parent_short_description',
		'raw_variation_description',
		'raw_variation_short_description',
	);
	foreach ( $description_keys as $key ) {
		if ( ! empty( $product_data[ $key ] ) && is_string( $product_data[ $key ] ) ) {
			$product_data[ $key ] = wp_strip_all_tags( $product_data[ $key ] );
			$product_data[ $key ] = preg_replace( '/\s+/', ' ', $product_data[ $key ] );
			$product_data[ $key ] = trim( $product_data[ $key ] );
		}
	}
	return $product_data;
}
add_filter( 'adt_get_product_data', 'storefront_pfp_strip_description_formatting', 5, 3 );

Test it out and it should work now – when added refresh the feed and view the feed via incognito to verify the changes.

I’ll mark this as solve as it seems to be a duplicate post. Please refer to the other responded post: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/missing-color-attrbute/

Hi @zlager ,

Please include a screenshot of how your feeds are setup and the rules and filter. Alternatively, you can provide a debug.log: https://adtribes.io/knowledge-base/send-your-debug-log-to-support/

Hi @nsnidhi,

Our plugin should support PHP versions up to 8.5, try this version and see if that helps. Also, for feeds being stuck please try changing your batch size: https://adtribes.io/knowledge-base/batch-size-configuration-product-feed/

Or enable the disable HTTP generation option: https://adtribes.io/knowledge-base/what-does-disable-http-feed-generation-requests-do/
