Overview
CodingBunny Bulk Edit PRO allows you to bulk edit any custom field associated with WooCommerce products. These fields can be created via plugins (ACF – Advanced Custom Fields, SCF – Secure Custom Fields, JetEngine…) or via code, as long as they are saved as meta keys associated with the products.
Creating a Custom Field
You can create custom fields in several ways:
- Plugin (recommended)
- ACF / SCF / JetEngine: create a field of the desired type and choose the post type “Product” (
product) as the location. Save and verify that the slug/metakey is entered correctly (e.g.,_acf_fieldname).
- ACF / SCF / JetEngine: create a field of the desired type and choose the post type “Product” (
- Manually via code
- Use
update_post_meta($product_id, ‘meta_name’, $value)to save a custom field associated with the product.
- Use
Recognizing the Slug (Meta Key)
Each custom field is saved with a meta key. You can find it as follows:
- From ACF/SCF/JetEngine, in the field settings you will find “meta key,” “slug,” or “name.”
- From code, it will be the string used in “update_post_meta.”
How to make it available in Bulk Edit for WooCommerce
- Log in to your WordPress admin panel.
- Go to Bulk Edit → Settings → “Manage Custom Fields.”
- Fill in:
- Meta key (slug): Enter the exact meta key of the custom field (e.g.,
custom_field). - Label: A readable name that will appear in the interface (e.g., “Custom Field”).
- Type: Select the corresponding field type (e.g., “text”).
- Taxonomy (optional): Only if the field is of the “taxonomy” type, choose the desired taxonomy.
- Meta key (slug): Enter the exact meta key of the custom field (e.g.,
- Click “Add New Custom Field” if you want to add more fields.
- Click Save Custom Fields.
After adding all custom fields, remember to activate them using the appropriate switches so that they are displayed correctly in the product table or bulk fields.
