Ερωτήσεις

How to install the plugin?

Installing the plugin is a very simple process. First, you need to download the plugin from the Web Expert membership area and save it to your computer. Then, on your website, from the WordPress admin area, go to “Plugins>Add New Plugin” and select “Upload Plugin”. Finally, you select the file you saved on your computer and select “Install Now”. For more information look up the corresponding README file that comes with the plugin or consult the plugin’s documentation.

Will I need a plugin for Pixel?

No! Pixel is built into the plugin. Just set the Pixel Key you will receive from Glami and it will work normally.

How is Glami XML different from XML for Skroutz / BestPrice?

Glami informally accepts xml feeds for Skroutz/ BestPrice. However, there are many properties that you can define through Glami (such as application, cut, season, etc.) as well as properties such as cpc, promotion id that are not supported by the respective marketplaces.

What can I do if I get an invalid license while I have entered it correctly?

First, you can try to remove the license key from the plugin settings, select save settings, and then enter it again.

In the event that the server that serves you blocks the communication to webexpert.gr, the license check cannot be carried out. You can contact your provider and ask to whitelist our IP addresses: 5.9.116.30 and 5.9.116.27.

What should I do if the pixel is not working?

If the pixel is not working properly, make sure you have filled in the “Pixel Key” field correctly and without any unwanted spaces.

Can I modify the delivery date field in the xml?

If the product is available, our plugin sends by default availability 0, which is accepted by Glami.

What is the most likely reason why the XML file is not being created?

The most common cause of the XML file not being generated is the memory limit compared to the volume of products. Try raising the memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT) and the max execution time (max_execution_time) of PHP, on the server side that serves you. Alternatively you can configure the XML update via cron from the server. The commands you will use are mentioned in the next answer.

Another cause is some special characters in products, properties or categories, reading which “breaks” the file, such as &, <, >, quotation marks (“) and apostrophe (‘). You will need to check which products you have gone through copy paste to delete the special characters.

When creating the XML I get an Error 500 or technical problem or XML tells me it is invalid

As mentioned in the previous answer, the WooCommerce Glami XML Feed & Pixel plugin is programmed to generate the XML in its entirety, not in parts, and requires memory and power, commensurate with the products. Try raising the PHP memory limit (WP_MEMORY_LIMIT) and max execution time (max_execution_time) on your server. Alternatively you can set the XML update via cron from the server. The commands you will use are mentioned in the next answer.

I have a large amount of data. What can I do;

The WooCommerce Glami XML Feed & Pixel plugin is programmed to generate XML in its entirety and not in parts. This means that you need memory and power, proportional to the products. However, it is built to do proper memory management and has been tested on many providers with simple hosting packages and performs very well. To meet even the most demanding users, it can be run via WP Cron, Scheduled Tasks (Plesk), Cron Jobs (cPanel) and crontab, to minimize memory requirements.

What can I do if the XML file does not generate automatically?

In case you want the XML output via cron job and not WP Cron, you need to call the cron.php file
eg php -d /home/domain/public_html/domain.gr/wp-content/plugins/webexpert-glami-xml-feed/cron.php

*Check the path of the cron.php file on your server

Is it possible to refresh XML via WP CLI?

In case you want the XML to be generated via WP CLI:

wp-cli webexpert-glami-xml generate

In case you want the XML output via cron job and not WP Cron, you need to call the cron.php file:
eg php -d /home/domain/public_html/domain.gr/wp-content/plugins/webexpert-glami-xml-feed/cron.php

*Check the path of the cron.php file on your server

The plugin provides filters, where you can pass your own values:

webexpert_glami_xml_custom_id
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_ean
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_gallery
webexpert_glami_xml_noavailability
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_product_title
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_categories
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_manufacturer
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_attribute
webexpert_glami_xml_noavailability
webexpert_glami_xml_custom_args

The hooks we offer are indicative and need modification. They should be added to the child theme’s functions.php.

add_filter('webexpert_glami_xml_custom_args','webexpert_glami_custom_args',99);
function webexpert_glami_custom_args($args) {

    $lang='el';
    $sitepress->switch_lang($lang);
    return $args;
}

add_filter('webexpert_glami_xml_custom_manufacturer','glami_xml_custom_manufacturer',10);
function glami_xml_custom_manufacturer() {
    return "OEM";
}

To match Glami information with custom fields (eg gender)

add_filter('webexpert_glami_xml_custom_attribute_gender',function ($product){
	if (!empty($product->get_meta('_fylo'))) {
		return [$product->get_meta('_fylo')];
    }
	return [];
},10,1);
