Adds a tool to the WooCommerce tools page which finds and deletes any Product variations without parents.
- Navigate to: WooCommerce > System Status > Tools (
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-status&tab=tools) - Click the "Clean Orphaned Variations" -button
Sometimes, for reasons unknown, WooCommerce will leave orphaned variation products in the database which can cause all sorts of problems.
Most commonly, you would get this error message
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get_attributes() on a non-object in /my/wp/root/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-product-variation.php on line 664
This small tool is a quick and easy fix for those situations.
