Prerequisites:

1. Ensure you have a backup of your website. Running scripts directly can have unintended consequences, and it’s always good to have a backup in case something goes wrong.
2. Make sure you have FTP or cPanel access to your website. This is required to upload the script and run it.

Steps:

1. Upload the Script:
   • Using an FTP client (like FileZilla) or your hosting cPanel’s file manager, navigate to the root directory of your WordPress installation. This is typically where you can find the wp-config.php file.
   • Upload the woosvi_fix.php file to this directory.
2. Run the Script:
   • In your web browser, navigate to the script by typing in your domain followed by /woosvi_fix.php. For example, if your website is example.com, you would go to http://example.com/woosvi_fix.php.
   • Once you access this URL, the script will automatically execute.
3. Review the Results:
   • After running the script, it should display a message indicating the process completion and provide details on how many products were fixed.
   • Check some of the products on your WooCommerce store to ensure the data looks correct.
4. Clean Up:
   • For security reasons, once you’ve confirmed the script has run successfully and you’re satisfied with the results, delete the woosvi_fix.php file from your server using your FTP client or cPanel’s file manager.
5. Backup Again:
   • It’s a good practice to take another backup of your website after making significant changes.

Important Notes:

• Always ensure you have a recent backup before running scripts or making significant changes to your website.
• The script is designed to fix specific issues related to the woosvi_slug meta key. Ensure it’s the right solution for your problem before running it.
• If you encounter any issues or unexpected results, consult with a developer or expert before proceeding further.
