How to remove duplicate product with same product ID in Woocommerce? - mysql

Question

I updated the database. After the update I was faced with duplicate products in Woocommerce -- even though I didn't have duplicate products in database.
I deleted the transient but it's not fixed. I'd appreciate it if you guide me on how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.

Also I found I have duplicate product on category page with different price while they have same price in inner pages!

Answer 1

In fact I had two issue. the first issue was duplicate product in product list page, that I figured it out the issue relate the some codes like this:
add_filter('posts_clauses', 'order_by_stock_status');
function order_by_stock_status($posts_clauses) {
global $wpdb;
// only change query on WooCommerce loops
if ( is_woocommerce() && (is_shop() || is_product_category() || is_product_tag() || is_product_taxonomy())) {
$posts_clauses['join'] .= " INNER JOIN $wpdb->postmeta istockstatus ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = istockstatus.post_id) ";
$posts_clauses['orderby'] = " istockstatus.meta_value ASC, " . $posts_clauses['orderby'];
$posts_clauses['where'] = " AND istockstatus.meta_key = '_stock_status' AND istockstatus.meta_value <> '' " . $posts_clauses['where'];
}
return $posts_clauses;
}
I added the !is_admin() to conditions, then It fixed.
Also I had another same issue but this time in categories page. For this case I checked plugins and I figured it out the xforwoocommerce (filter) plugin makes duplicate product with different pricing! :| ( I don't know why! )
I disabled it and it fixed, but I think the root cause is the above code.
