Why?
----

[](#why)

Sometimes, for reasons unknown, WooCommerce will leave orphaned variation products in the database which can cause all sorts of problems.

Most commonly, you would get this error message

```
PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function get_attributes() on a non-object in /my/wp/root/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/includes/class-wc-product-variation.php on line 664

```

This small tool is a quick and easy fix for those situations.
