I'm quite new in wordpress and woocommerce plugin and I would like to create an app that would add products programatically to a website using this plugin.
I thought about writing directly into the database in the wp_posts and wp_postmeta tables. However, I've read about some php woocommerce functions, but I know nothing about this and where to write the php code.
Is the solution I provided is clean enough?
Otherwise how could I use the php functions provided by woocommerce?
Thanks a lot!

I am beginner for wordpress and woocommerce, my requirement is to create a custom plug-in just same as product plug-in and from preset.
So, I want to know how I can achieve this functionality?
Please find screenshot for same from here:
You could create a regular WordPress plugin. WordPress has a very good Handbook for creating plugins.
Generally you create plugins by hooking in the system. You can insert functionalities (actions) or change content (filters) with these hooks. WordPress itself and most common plugins like WooCommerce have such hooks to customize whatever you want via Plugins.
Be sure to check out the Woocommerce Documention on that topic and also their Hook Reference. Maybe it isn't even necessary to create a plugin … customizations via hooks can also be achieved from within your themes functions.php.
I've tried 2 or three plugins but none seem to be functional. Is there a custom code piece out there or somewhere I can implement a PHP script that will send me an email when a new plugin update is available? Currently have tried WP Update Notifier and Mail-on-Update with zero success.
You can use Wordfence.
Set Email summary frequency to daily.
Use Scan for out of date plugins, themes and WordPress versions to find plugin updates.
I have woocommerce plugin installed in my ecommerce website. I have made some custom changes in some of file of woocommerce plugin. Now i want to update my woocommerce plugin. If i do by clicking on button update now then i will lose my custom changes which i made. I want to update woocommerce plugin without loosing my custom changes. So what is the best to merge all the changes to newer version and to update woocommerce plugin . is there any way to update woocommerce plugin manually so custom changes still remain there.
As you know its a bad idea having to edit plugin files because of updates.. if the plugin in question uses hooks you can write your own plugin that has your own custom code for that plugin. Here a post that might help you wrap your head around it. https://iandunn.name/2014/01/10/the-right-way-to-customize-a-wordpress-plugin/
I am updating a live site from production server. I don't have access to PHPMyadmin. I can choose certain database tables to move from the production site's admin panel to the live one. Question: Which Db tables are used by WP plugin "Custom Fields" (or - "Advanced custom fields") ?
I know only one table which is wp_postmeta but importing this table alone doesn't work (custom fields don't appear on the live site). And I cannot import all tables because of the content and other settings that are up to date on the live site. Thank you!
Custom fields was saving in e.g. wp_postmeta. Var_dump get_post_meta() to see all of them connected to specific post.
BTW - you don't need PHPMyadmin to see DB :)
I'm trying to export some custom post types from my local Wordpress environment so that other developers are able to use them without having to go through the process of adding them themselves through CPT UI and Custom Fields.
Everything I've found so far has just been about exporting posts with custom post types, but that's not what I'm looking for. I want something like being able to tell Vagrant to create a WP instance that already has a custom post type and associated custom fields already installed.
Is this doable? If yes, how?
I would just create a copy of your local WP installation and install on developing server with https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/.
It should take about 3-4 minutes to create a copy on the server from your localhost with this plugin.
