When I choose the action “Remove all current terms and add new terms” I can no longer choose the category from a dropdown menu, as I could before, nor does the search work when I type in the name of the category.
Why on Earth the development team thought it would be a good idea to replace the Expiration Taxonomy checkbox list with a search box that makes you type in what you want escapes me. Even if the search box worked, it is inconvenient.
Yes, this is for Woocommerce products. I’m running WordPress 6.4.2 with the Enfold theme version 5.6.9, editor set to “Block editor”, not “Classic editor”.
Can you share with me a screenshot of what you see at your end?
Conditions:
Replace Taxonomy, meaning remove category and replace it with a different one.
In the previous versions, we had separate boxes for Gutenberg and the Classic Editor.
The search box is always there for Gutenberg, and it was not possible to apply the Classic Editor style to it.
We never made these changes without a reasons. There were issues with the box for the Classic Editor before. And having two separate boxes for each editor made it difficult to maintain.
That’s why, in version 3.1.4, we centralized all the boxes for Gutenberg, the Classic Editor. This was necessary to make maintenance much easier. We appreciate your understanding as we work to improve the plugin.
If you want to keep using the old version where the old classic editor still applied, please continue using it.
However if you want to use the latest version, we will need more information about this issue as we are not able to replicate the issue while creating new product on WooCommerce.
@hypergolica Is there any something special about your product category? Something like custom taxonomies or else? Or is it just straightforward product category that you directly create from here?
Additionally, can you check your console tab if there is any error there?
In my humble opinion, the list of check boxes is better. The search box means I have to memorize the category I want to replace the current category with, and this is a challenge as the categories are many. I would also point out that the search box is not working, so even if I do type in the exact name of the category, nothing appears.
