Got it! Working. Only error with google now is

Thanks

Does anyone know how to make the attributes on the actual product pages "hidden"? I'm not thrilled with how they look on my site and don't actually need them there except for Google Feed. I have no choices so seems kind of lame to have attributes on the product pages.

You've been a great help. I can't thank you enough. I can't seem to find default product category. Do you mean Included categories?

[RescoCCC]

Scroll down further. Default Product Category is right above Display Tax.

uh oh, I don't have that. Above display tax I have use cpath in url, enable may pricing, and use meta title. Do I not have the correct info?
Thanks

That's weird. What version of the feeder do you have installed?

That's the new Google Product Category requirement. Go to their taxonomy:

http://www.google.com/support/mercha...?answer=160081

Select a category/sub-category that best fits your site. Click it and it will create the correct entry for you. Use the xml entry it creates and put that in Default Product Category in your feeder configuration.

For example, one of my sites is collectibles, so the Google taxonomy is Arts & Entertainment > Collectibles and the actual entry I added was Arts & Entertainment > Collectibles.

Edit: That goes in Default Product Category in the configuration, NOT Default Product Type.
