In a recent Business Bloomer Club Slack thread, a user sought help with bulk updating products using WP CLI after importing over 500 products via WP All Import. While the import process was successful, an issue persisted: the product breadcrumbs were still showing the old product category.

In a recent Business Bloomer Club thread, a member encountered an issue while attempting to remove images from WooCommerce products with a specific attribute. The function they initially wrote ended up deleting images from all products, which wasn’t the intended outcome.

Below is a revised version of the function, which ensures only products with a specific attribute are affected by first checking for the attribute term in each product.
