  • Resolved LF

    (@lyndafalcone)


    I’m hoping that someone has a simple solution for why I’m getting this message:

    Google sync status
    Issue detected
    Issues
    [description] This value should not be blank.

    I’m using Woocommerce with Avada theme along with this plugin: Google listings and ads.
    All of my products have been entered and setup the exact same way and only 12 of the 47 are approved in the Google Merchant Center.
    The 12 do not have the disapproved message but all the rest do.

    I have a screen shot to share to show you but can’t upload…
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hey there!

    I recommend https://snipboard.io for sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, then paste the URL in this thread.

    Please let us know when the screenshot is available.

    @lyndafalcone It’s hard to tell from that screenshot if you have anything in the main description area for your products or not. I see you have this set:

    https://d.pr/i/wTc9jc/Gegzt2NHpO

    … but if you scroll up, do you have anything in the main content box on that product editing page? Example of what I mean:

    https://d.pr/i/PD8zEk/lQmbj4zpTx

    You might also try adding something here:

    https://d.pr/i/ysTVSS/d9Ny6MQiKa

    … down at the very bottom. That might make Google a bit happier with the product data.

    Let us know if that helps. 🙂

    Hi…

    Yes I have those…

    Here’s the main container copy

    https://snipboard.io/0bDmHp.jpg

    Then I have a short product description

    https://snipboard.io/zAy8Fp.jpg`

    Hey there @lyndafalcone,

    It looks like you’re using Avada to insert content on the product description.

    Can you please switch to the default editor, add a description there and see if it works with that? Thank you!

    Could you also please share a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”.  Once you’ve done that, paste it here in your response.

    Update, I duplicated a product and changed it to default editor. The plugin synced to the merchant feed, however, the same message appears.

    Hey there @lyndafalcone,

    You may already have read this

    Have you checked that the description for the product you’ve duplicated using the default WooCommerce product editor, complies with these requirements?

    Thread Starter LF

    (@lyndafalcone)

    Hi, I have a section called “product short description”
    Plus I added a custom field call “description” and added the copy there too.

    I don’t know why 12 of them are okay but the rest are not.
    All the products were added the exact same way.

    Hi there,

    Could you try disabling the Avada Builder plugin itself, creating a new product and adding a default product description to see if that gets synced over?

    Let us know how it goes! We’re here to help further!

    (@lyndafalcone)

    Hi, so this work however we want to use the Avada theme and design.

    Why does 12 items utilizing the Avada theme work but the others do not?

    Thank you for your help.

    Plugin Support 3 Sons Development – a11n

    (@3sonsdevelopment)

    Hey @lyndafalcone,

    That’s an excellent question. If adding a product with the Avada Builder works but adding one with it enable doesn’t work, then that likely means there is some change in how the data is being saved.

    Say the data is modified before it is saved, then those changes will remain after the plugin is disabled. But if the data is “filtered” after being pulled from the database, those changes typically disappear once the plugin is disabled. Does that make sense?

    Jared

    (@jstecklercfanyorg)

    Jumping in to say I’m facing the same issue — Avada Theme — except none of my products are syncing and it’s showing the same missing [description] value as the “Issue to resolve” for all of them.

    Even more puzzling is the fact that according to Google’s very own Rich Results Test, the description field value is indeed there. You can see for yourself here: https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?id=Wg98GOjz4BzJmx08pAL8Yw

    And also showing without errors using the validator.schema.org tool: https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.trogsworld.com%2Fproduct%2Fgolden-retriever-childrens-book-golden-smiles%2F
