okay.. I removed the duplicate data, but my product list on wordpress didn't change anything. How do I import this database without duplications into the product list? The explanation is excellent. Thank you very much.

If you have a cleaned-up version of your product data and need to import it into your WordPress product list without duplicating existing products, here's a step-by-step guide. I'll assume that you are using WooCommerce as the e-commerce plugin. Import Process with WooCommerce CSV Importer Prerequisites: Make sure WooCommerce is installed and activated. The products data file should be in CSV format. Step-by-Step Instructions: 1. Prepare the CSV File Open your cleaned-up CSV file using a spreadsheet tool like Excel or Google Sheets. Ensure the headers are correctly mapped to WooCommerce fields. Make sure there's a unique identifier (e.g., SKU) for each product. Save your CSV file. 2. Go to WooCommerce Product Importer In the WordPress dashboard, go to WooCommerce > Products. Click on the Import button at the top of the page. 3. Upload the CSV File Click Choose File and select the CSV file containing your product data. Check the box Update existing products if you want to update existing products based on a unique identifier (SKU or ID). This will prevent duplication. Click Continue. 4. Map the Fields WooCommerce will attempt to map the fields in your CSV to WooCommerce fields. Verify that each field is correctly mapped. If not, adjust it manually. Click Run the Importer. 5. Verify Import Results Once the import completes, go to WooCommerce > Products. Verify that the product list has been updated without duplicating products. Additional Tips: Unique Identifiers: Ensure all products have unique identifiers (SKUs or IDs). Backups: Backup your current product database before importing. Custom Fields/Plugins: If you have custom fields or plugins managing your products, ensure the CSV file includes them. Dealing with Existing Duplicates: If you already have duplicates: Use a plugin like WooCommerce Remove Duplicate Products or WP All Import with unique SKU matching. Manually delete duplicates from the WooCommerce product list. Summary Clean and prepare the CSV file. Use WooCommerce's built-in import tool, ensuring that you check "Update existing products." Verify mapping and run the import. If you require any further clarification or assistance, feel free to ask!
