When an SKU contains zeros at the beginning, WoodMart search fails

[Jeriss Cloud Center]

I am using the code below to ensure that the SKU always contains 13 digits.

This code is working fine but then, in the frontend, when I search for a product based on an SKU that has been formatted with this code, the WoodMart search doesn’t find the product.

Why? Because I believe WoodMart search fails to find products based on SKU if the SKU contains zeros at the beginning of the SKU code.

See videos in private.

I tried then using Relevanssi, and the search works fine with Relevanssi.
I reverted back to default WoodMart search, but then the search doesn’t work in this case.

function ensure_13_digit_sku($sku) {
    return str_pad($sku, 13, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);
}
function ensure_sku_length_on_save($post_id, $post, $update) {
    if ($post->post_type !== 'product') {
        return;
    }
    $sku = get_post_meta($post_id, '_sku', true);
    if (!$sku || strlen($sku) < 13) {
        $new_sku = ensure_13_digit_sku($sku);
        update_post_meta($post_id, '_sku', $new_sku);
    }
}
add_action('save_post', 'ensure_sku_length_on_save', 10, 3);

You can close this ticket, the issue is no longer valid.

I’ve solved the issue by updating my custom code.

function ensure_13_digit_sku( $sku ) {
return str_pad($sku, 13, ‘0’, STR_PAD_LEFT);
}

add_action('woocommerce_admin_process_product_object', 'pre_process_product_sku');
function pre_process_product_sku( $product ) {
    $sku = isset($_POST['_sku']) ? wc_clean( wp_unslash($_POST['_sku']) ) : '';
    $product->set_sku( ensure_13_digit_sku($sku) );
}
add_action('woocommerce_admin_process_variation_object', 'pre_process_variation_sku');
function pre_process_variation_sku( $variation, $i ) {
    $sku = isset($_POST['variable_sku'][$i]) ? wc_clean( wp_unslash($_POST['variable_sku'][$i]) ) : '';
    $variation->set_sku( ensure_13_digit_sku($sku) );
}
