Product number won't change

[Dresstive]

I keep changing the product number, but they all go back to the original number/the product number they had before. Basically what I do is duplicate my products so I don’t have to make them from scratch and then change all the stuff. When I then update the product the product number just changes back. How do I fix that?

Also I’m trying to understand all the custom CSS I’ve gotten from you guys, could you guys very shortly explain what each thing does?:

nav .menu li.menu-item-6477 ul li.current-menu-item > a {
background: transparent;
color: #666666;
}
.woocommerce .coupon input.input-text {
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
}
figure .overlay {
z-index: 3;
}
#product-display-area {
clear: both;
}
.widget_product_categories ul.children {
padding-left: 10px;
border-top: 1px solid #e4e4e4;
padding-top: 2px;
}
#product-img-slider div.flex-viewport {
height: auto!important;
}

.header-menu .tb-welcome {
display: none;
}

.wpcf7 input.wpcf7-submit[type=”submit”] {
background-image: none!important;
}

section.widget.widget_nav_menu li a {
display: inline-block;
}

section.widget.widget_nav_menu li a {
display: inline-block;
}

section.widget.widget_nav_menu li a:before {
margin-left: 20px;
}

.single-product .product_meta p .leave-feedback, .single-product .need-help {
display: none;
}

.wpcf7 input.wpcf7-submit[type=”submit”] {
background-image: none!important;
padding: 10px 20px;
}

.posted_in{

display:none !important;

}

.mini-list li .product-cats {
display: none!important;
}

Thank you so much! Your help is so appreciated. Swiftideas/Neighborhood is great!

I still have the first question. My product numbers won’t change. I duplicate a product and then change the product number, but when I click update, the product number is the same as before. How do I fix this? 🙂

Hi,
Which is product number? I am not getting this point so please explain in detail.
Thanks
Mohammad

Of course.

In WooCommerce when you create a product it has an SKU/SVU which is a product number. When I change this number and updates it just goes back to the one it had before. Whenever I make a new product I just duplicate it and change the stuff that has to be changed. It has always worked but ever since yesterday I have not been able to change the product number in new products, it remains the same after every duplicate even if I change it.

Any idea? I can’t add any products because of this and move on with my site, it is pretty urgent. Thanks so much!

How are you duplicating the product?

Does it work ok if you create a new product? Try enabling the default WordPress theme and testing with that active – if still not working then you’ll need to ask WooCommerce support about this.

Just clicking duplicate. It has worked always, I have done it with more than 300 products – it just stopped working randomly a few days ago.

Could be an issue with your database then – maybe want to contact your host. Nothing in the theme itself would affect this.
