I'm developing a Woocommerce shop with both physical and downloadable products. I would like to alter the standard query for the loop to exclude all downloadable products, but I can't figure out a way to do it. I would like these products to only be displayed on a certain archive page, which is no problem to achieve.
I'm doing a few other alterations of the query using pre_get_post, but I can't seem to find an option for downloadable products.
All my products are simple products.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Instead of using pre_get_post
, you could use the dedicated woocommerce_product_query
Woocommerce action hook. But as downloadable products are related to a meta query is better to use woocommerce_product_query_meta_query
Woocommerce dedicated filter hook.
It will remove downloadable products from shop page only:
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_query_meta_query', 'downloadable_not_in_shop', 20, 2 );
function downloadable_not_in_shop( $meta_query, $query ) {
// Only on archive pages
if( is_admin() || ! is_shop() )
return $meta_query; // exit
$meta_query[] = array(
'key' => '_downloadable',
'value' => 'yes',
'compare' => '!=',
);
return $meta_query;
}
Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Tested and works.
To display only downloadable products you will use 'compare' => '=',
instead…
