1) enable "FIFU Settings → Metadata → Schedule Metadata Generation";

2020-01-19 | ### WP All Import | plugin

Importing Variable Products to WooCommerce:
1) you should choose one of these options during the import:
- "All my variable products have SKUs or some other unique identifier. Each variation is linked to its parent with its parent's SKU or other unique identifier.";
- "All variations for a particular product have the same title as the parent product."
Options where the parent is created automatically won't work well.
Avoiding updates on unchanged image data:
1) access "WP All Import → Import Settings";
2) select "Update existing posts/products with changed data in your file → Choose which data to update";
3) uncheck "Images" (otherwise WP All Import will delete the image metadata and FIFU will need to create that again);
4) select "Custom Fields → Update only these Custom Fields, leave the rest alone".

Showing remote images on "Related Posts":
x) there is no local solution. Jetpack Related Posts documentation informs: "we do all the analysis, processing, and serving from our cloud".

So you may contact Jetpack support, install an alternative plugin for Related Posts, like this, or try this snippet (untested).
