Screenshots

Why?

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.
