What code/filter can I add to my wordpress functions.php file to modify the order of grouped products by post date instead of menu_order? class-wc-product-grouped.php
$args = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_grouped_children_args', array(
'post_parent' => $this->id,
'post_type' => 'product',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',
'order' => 'ASC',
'fields' => 'ids',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'numberposts' => -1,
) );
I'm pretty sure you can hook into it but just not sure how to configure the following filter/hook woocommerce_grouped_children_args
As you have mentioned, you just need to filter the $args
being passed through the woocommerce_grouped_children_args
filter.
add_filter( 'woocommerce_grouped_children_args', 'so_29973708_grouped_children_args' );
function so_29973708_grouped_children_args( $args ){
$args['orderby'] = 'date';
$args['order'] = 'DESC';
return $args;
}
If you need help understanding filters, I wrote what I think is a pretty good tutorial on how to use filters
Update If you aren't seeing any changes, chances are that the grouped product's children have already been stored in a transient. You will need to delete this transient to see changes right away. You can clear all WooCommerce product transients via the Admin. Navigate to WooCommerce>System Status>Tools
and click on the button to clear transients.
