I want to display 8 "related products" in every product page of my site based on tags. But if there are less than 8 results fill the gaps with products in the same Categories.
Here is code that I'm using for showing only tag-related products (functions.php
):
//New "Related Products" function for WooCommerce
function get_related_custom( $id, $limit = 5 ) {
global $woocommerce;
// Related products are found from category and tag
$tags_array = array(0);
$cats_array = array(0);
// Get tags
$terms = wp_get_post_terms($id, 'product_tag');
foreach ( $terms as $term ) $tags_array[] = $term->term_id;
// Get categories (removed / commented)
/*
$terms = wp_get_post_terms($id, 'product_cat');
foreach ( $terms as $term ) $cats_array[] = $term->term_id;
*/
// Don't bother if none are set
if ( sizeof($cats_array)==1 && sizeof($tags_array)==1 ) return array();
// Meta query
$meta_query = array();
$meta_query[] = $woocommerce->query->visibility_meta_query();
$meta_query[] = $woocommerce->query->stock_status_meta_query();
// Get the posts
$related_posts = get_posts( apply_filters('woocommerce_product_related_posts', array(
'orderby' => 'rand',
'posts_per_page' => $limit,
'post_type' => 'product',
'fields' => 'ids',
'meta_query' => $meta_query,
'tax_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => $cats_array
),
array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_tag',
'field' => 'id',
'terms' => $tags_array
)
)
) ) );
$related_posts = array_diff( $related_posts, array( $id ));
return $related_posts;
}
add_action('init','get_related_custom');
