    ON taxes.term_id=terms.term_id
    WHERE object_id IN (SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type=’product’ or post_type = ‘product_variation’ or post_type = ‘product_variable’);
    DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE post_id IN (SELECT ID FROM wp_posts WHERE post_type = ‘product’ or post_type = ‘product_variation’ or post_type = ‘product_variable’);
