I have created custom plugin that includes a function that sends a GET call to a third party API to get a list of products. It then loops through the list and sends another GET request(using the sku #) for each products details. Then it checks for an existing product and updates the details, if there is no existing product it adds the product to Woocommerce.

The function I have created works just fine when I just add it to a page but I have put it into a separate file to make calls to it with ajax I get a 500 error.

I have narrowed it down to the breaking point and it's whenever a Woocommerce function is called (wc_get_products(), $NewProd = new WC_Product_Simple(), etc.).

Is this some sort of server timeout thing I can adjust? Or maybe something I can change in the WordPress config file? May be wishful thinking. Hopefully, someone can help.

CodePudding user response：

If I got this correctly, first you added the code in a plugin and it worked but when you moved the code into a separate file,it didn't work. Correct? Did you load the WordPress in your https://scanhome.brightbridgeweb.com/wp-content/plugins/bright-bridge-product-api-functions/syncAllProducts.php file? Probably not. So you can either load a wordpress in your file with include "path to wp-load.php" or use a proper way of running ajax in WordPress using ajax actions. WordPress has a really good support for ajax. Whatever you do, before you run your custom code, WordPress and plugins must be loaded and ready to use.
