Here’s what I did…
I used these wildcard codes to select every character in the string…
.[a-zA-Z0-9].
For me, that just caused the brand to disappear all together.
I forgot to add that you have to change something in your products to cause Meta to resynch. So, I exported all my products, added a couple of dashes in the description and reuploaded. Then did the same thing, but took the dashes out.
You could probably just add an HTML comment, but I wasn’t thinking at the time.
I found a way around this…
In Shopify go to products, select all products, bulk edit, under Vendor change to your store name.
I already mentioned this a year ago. But thanks…
Hi Robbie! This is not working for me. Any advice? I tried your wildcard code and a few other versions and no luck. I also updated the product descriptions to allow meta to re-synch. We have 100+ vendors so the find and replace tool using the actual brand names will not work for us as Shopify only allows you to add 20 brands. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! TIA
I had the same problem, & yes SHOPIFY and META will NOT help you with this… Its just something that tells us Technology still has a long way to go..
Such an obvious problem us retailers have soon as you open up your SHOP on ig, and they wont fix this HUGE problem…
Shopify just tells you to Speak to META cz its not their problem..
Anyway, so point is you must erase ALL the Vendors list… This can be daunting if you have big inventory.
So go to your PRODUCTS → Click on ALL → Click on BULK EDITING → Click so it SHOWS VENDOR → Then all your vendors name will show just erase the vendor name that shows → SAVE
At least you can do bulk edit instead of going in each product one by one.
Its the only solution.
