Troubleshooting

Common Problems​

Preview Shows No Products​

Problem: Preview button returns "No products found".

Causes:

  • Filters too restrictive
  • Selected category is empty
  • No products match your filter combination

Solutions:

  1. Remove some filters and try again
  2. Check if selected category has products
  3. Change "Has Videos" to "All"
  4. Verify manufacturer has products in selected category

Preview Shows Wrong Products​

Problem: Preview includes unexpected products.

Causes:

  • Multiple categories selected (products in ANY category are included)
  • Filter logic misunderstood (uses AND logic)
  • Active status not set correctly

Solutions:

  1. Add filters one by one while previewing to see what each does
  2. Check that all filters are set as intended
  3. Remember: products must match ALL filters

Can't Execute Operation​

Problem: Execute button doesn't work or shows error.

Causes:

  • Haven't previewed yet (preview is mandatory)
  • No products in preview
  • Missing required fields (e.g., video URL for Add action)

Solutions:

  1. Click "Preview Affected Products" first
  2. Verify preview shows products
  3. Check all required fields are filled
  4. For Add action, ensure video URL is provided

Invalid Video URL Error​

Problem: "Invalid video URL" error when adding videos.

Causes:

  • URL format incorrect
  • Video provider not configured in module settings
  • URL not from a supported platform

Solutions:

  1. Verify URL format (check the examples in Bulk Actions guide)
  2. Test URL in a browser first
  3. For non-YouTube/Vimeo videos, configure provider in module settings
  4. Ensure URL is complete and valid

Operation Times Out​

Problem: Operation takes too long or times out.

Causes:

  • Too many products (200+)
  • Server resources limited
  • Large operations during peak traffic

Solutions:

  1. Split operation into smaller batches (50-100 products at a time)
  2. Run operations during low-traffic hours
  3. Filter more specifically to reduce product count

Videos Not Appearing on Frontend​

Problem: Videos added successfully but don't show on product pages.

Causes:

  • Cache not cleared
  • Video restricted to registered users (and you're not logged in)
  • Template doesn't support product videos
  • Video provider settings incorrect

Solutions:

  1. Clear PrestaShop cache (Performance settings)
  2. Clear browser cache
  3. Check if video is set to "Registered Only"
  4. Verify your theme supports product videos
  5. Test with a different product

Can't Remove Videos​

Problem: Remove operation doesn't work.

Causes:

  • Filter shows no products with videos
  • "Has Videos" filter set to "Without Videos"

Solutions:

  1. Set "Has Videos" to "With Videos"
  2. Preview to verify products have videos
  3. Check if products actually have videos attached

Changes Applied to Wrong Shop​

Problem: Videos added/updated in wrong shop context.

Causes:

  • Working in multi-shop environment
  • Wrong shop context selected

Solutions:

  1. Check shop selector before executing
  2. Switch to correct shop context
  3. Preview again to verify
  4. In multi-shop, videos are shop-specific

Error Messages​

"At least one filter required"​

Meaning: You must set at least one filter.

Solution: Select a category, manufacturer, active status, or Has Videos filter.

"Video URL is required"​

Meaning: Add action needs a video URL.

Solution: Fill in the Video URL field with a valid URL.

"No products match your filters"​

Meaning: Your filter combination returns no products.

Solution: Broaden your filters or check if category has products.

"Provider not configured"​

Meaning: Video platform isn't set up in module settings.

Solution: Go to module configuration and add the video provider.

Best Practices​

To Avoid Problems:

  1. Always preview before executing
  2. Test with 2-3 products first when learning
  3. Check filters carefully for Remove operations
  4. Work in batches for large operations (50-100 products)
  5. Verify shop context in multi-shop environments
  6. Clear cache after operations if videos don't appear
  7. Document operations for future reference
  8. Test video URLs in browser before adding

Still Having Issues?​

If you're still experiencing problems:

  1. Check module configuration is correct
  2. Verify you have proper permissions
  3. Check server error logs for detailed information
  4. Test with a single product manually to isolate the issue
  5. Contact support with specific error messages

FAQ​

Can I undo a bulk operation?

No. Operations are permanent, especially Remove. Always preview carefully.

How many products can I process at once?

Technically 500+, but recommended to stay under 200 per operation for better performance and control.

What if I close browser during execution?

The operation may be partially complete. Check products manually and re-run if needed with adjusted filters.

Why can't I select multiple manufacturers?

By design, only ONE manufacturer at a time. Run separate operations for each manufacturer.

Do operations work across all languages?

Yes. Operations apply to all languages, though product names in preview show in the selected language.
