Remember to check your _tax-class, if it contains a number that doesn't exist, no tax will be applied

Also, if a product has never been taxable, the meta_key '_tax_status' is not created for that product so there is no meta_value to update.
You need to find all products that have no meta_key of '_tax_status' in the wp_postmeta table too.

I've tried doing this, but it will only update 4 rows. Any idea on how to do this? I have limited coding experience
