# Prices Not Updating After a Bulk Change

If the Price Update: Bulk Pricing Editor for WooCommerce reports success but prices look unchanged, the most common cause is clicking Preview prices instead of the red Change prices button, since a preview never saves. Also check that Multiply all product prices by is not 0, that no filter excludes your products, and that your caches are cleared.

### You clicked Preview, not Change

**Preview prices** only shows a table of what would change; it never saves. To apply, click the red **Change prices** button and confirm the prompt.

### Multiply is set to 0

The tool skips the entire run when **Multiply all product prices by** is 0. If you only want to use Direct price, Add, or another field, leave Multiply at its default of **1**. A Multiply of 0 cancels everything, even the other fields.

### A filter is excluding your products

- Check the **Products category**, **Products tag**, and any **attribute** dropdown. If one is set to a group that your products are not in, nothing matches.
- **None** in the category dropdown targets only products with no category, which is often empty. Use **Any** for the whole store.

### You changed the wrong price type

If **Price type to modify** is set to **Sale prices only**, products with no sale price are left alone. Set it to **Both** or **Regular prices only** to touch regular prices.

### The change ran but the storefront still shows the old price

- Clear any page or object cache and your CDN, then reload.
- For variable products, the tool updates the parent and its variations. If a variation price still looks stale in sorting or filtering, open the product and click **Update** once to refresh WooCommerce's price index.

### A large catalog times out

On stores with many thousands of products the query can time out mid-run. Go to **WPFactory > Bulk Price Converter** and lower **Block size** (fewer products per query) or raise **Time limit**, then run the change again.

### Still not working?

Send us the fields you set and a screenshot of the preview on the [Bulk Price Editor support forum](https://wpfactory.com/support/item/bulk-price-editor-for-woocommerce/).
