预定销售已结束，但在查看产品时，可变产品似乎仍在销售中 - Woocommerce

Question

Steps to recreate this issue:

• create a variable product
• set a sale price on a variation
• set a sale schedule on a variation
• wait until after the end date
• go to frontend, view the product (or list of products), see that the sale badge and sale price are still visible
• add product to cart, open cart and see that price is correct (has been set back to regular)
• if you update the product manually in wp-admin, the issue is resolved (but this really defeats the purpose of scheduled sales)

I am using Woocommerce v2.6.14 and Wordpress v4.7.6.

If I try to check $product->is_in_stock() on product view, I get 1 (not correct). If I add this product to cart and check this same thing, I get 0 (correct).

So, the issue is that the variation price doesn't automatically update after sale end date .

I would really appreciate every advice! :) Thank you!

Additional info:

This is an image of displayed price in wp-admin after expired sale date on one product.

Sale price is still saved in the WC Variable object before it is added to cart. After a product is added to cart, min and max variation sale price is the same as regular price and everything works correctly.

If I use $product->get_price_html(); I get wrong value before add to cart action, and if I use $product->get_price(); I get the correct value.

UPDATE: After I changed the WC version to 2.7.0 RC 1, the prices went back to correct ones, but updating WC messed up a lot of other things, so updating is not an option. Something just isn't updating correctly when the scheduled sale ends and I can't figure out what.

Answer 1

The woocommerce_scheduled_sales event is what triggers the actual pricing changes to the products with scheduled sales.This event should be run once a day but maybe this does not happen. to find sites WP Cron events you can use the below plugin :

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/

by this plugin you can immediately run any cron events.you should find woocommerce_scheduled_sales and run it.

also you can use this code in your function theme to run event every Six hours.

<?php

function myprefix_custom_cron_schedule( $schedules ) {
    $schedules['every_six_hours'] = array(
        'interval' => 21600, // Every 6 hours
        'display'  => __( 'Every 6 hours' ),
    );
    return $schedules;
}
add_filter( 'cron_schedules', 'myprefix_custom_cron_schedule' );


//Schedule an action if it's not already scheduled
if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'myprefix_wc_scheduled_sales' ) ) {
    wp_schedule_event( time(), 'every_six_hours', 'myprefix_wc_scheduled_sales' );
}


///Hook into that action that'll fire every six hours
 add_action( 'myprefix_wc_scheduled_sales', 'myprefix_run_wc_scheduled_sales' );
//create your function, that runs on cron
function myprefix_run_wc_scheduled_sales() {
    //your function...
    wc_scheduled_sales();
}
