How to fix mistakes in history log

Mistakes happen to everyone. A moment’s inattention is enough and accidentally setting too low a price will be saved in history. An error resulting from incorrect software operation can also occur: some plugins can set a product’s price to zero for a fraction of a second. That will also go into history.

This article describes how to correct such errors. Fortunately, if you’re using WC Price History, it’s very simple.

You’ll make all the changes below directly on the WooCommerce product edit screen in the Price History Editor tab:
