WPML Export and Import

This release focuses on making WooCommerce product imports and recovery from interrupted imports more reliable.

WooCommerce product imports

• Products that were already published now stay published when you run a WooCommerce update import.
• Fixed a locale-dependent column lookup that was losing all variations on WooCommerce CSV imports when the site's default language was not English.
• Product attributes now stay in sync with their translations when importing through WP All Import.
• The filter that skips whole post types from being drafted is now honored during WooCommerce CSV imports.

Media and recovery during import

• Fixed a case where a post's featured image could be connected to unrelated content after importing a file that references media which was not imported.
• Interrupted imports now keep the recovery markers for the posts still waiting to be restored.
• Import status reports now reflect the posts that could not be restored, instead of every post the import attempted.

Command-line imports

• Fixed imports run in CLI mode stalling when using the batch-size filter.

Security

This release includes security hardening.

Fixes

• Fixed an issue where WooCommerce product CSV import would skip translations and output the _sku already exists error if WPML columns were not prefixed with Meta:.

New Features

• WPML automatically creates translation jobs for imported posts set to use automatic translation.
• You can now set import batch sizes using the wpml_import_command_items_per_batch filter.
• WPML automatically updates thumbnail and gallery image IDs on translated posts, products, and CPTs during import, so they point to the correct translated images.
• WooCommerce Multicurrency prices are now automatically included in WP All Export exports.

Developers

• Added the wpml_import_get_trid_from_imported_translations filter to allow custom translation group resolution.

Performance

• Improved performance when fetching pending posts and taxonomy terms during import.
