Related Products for WooCommerce

Description

Display fresh, random WooCommerce related products on every single product page load (in a slider or not) based on the current product’s category, tags, or attributes.

Related products can be configured to display in posts, pages, and sidebar widgets, and can be configured to exclude categories.

Use the shortcode [woo-related] for product pages or [woo-related id='XX'] / [woo-related product-id='XX' show-title='no'] for posts, pages, and widgets.

Exclude taxonomies using the the option field in the settings page.

The shortcode accepts id, title and number.

Shortcode examples

[woo-related id='15']

will display related products based on product ID 15.

[woo-related id='15' title='no']

is the same as above but will hide Related Products title. For sidebars, etc. you can use the widget title.

[woo-related id='15' title='no' number='1']

is the same as above but will return only 1 product.

[woo-related]

will use current product’s ID. This should be used on product pages only.

Related Products for WooCommerce can help you:

• Display real related products (using a slider or not)
• Set the related product’s heading text (you can use HTML)
• Set the number of related products you want to display or disable them
• Set category or tag based related products
• Display related products using Flexslider
• Translate related products heading text
• Exclude taxonomies from your related products
• Use a shortcode to add related products to posts/pages and widgets

Related Products block position

Move related products

Related Products for WooCommerce uses WordPress hooks to display related products on product pages. If you need to move the related products block you can remove the action and add it again using a different hook or priority. This is extremly helpful if you code your own theme or child theme.

To remove related products block you can use

remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product', 'wrprrdisplay' );

in your theme’s functions.php file.

If you want to add it again you can do something like this

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product', 'wrprrdisplay', 55 );

or

add_action( 'ANY-OTHER-HOOK', 'wrprrdisplay', PRIORITY );

Check GitHub for all single product page actions.

In the search field type “Woo Related Products” and click Search Plugins. Once you’ve found the plugin you can view details about it such as the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking “Install Now”.

Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading Related Products for WooCommerce plugin and uploading it to your webserver via your favourite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains instructions on how to do this here.

Updating

Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.

Reviews

Great plugin!

bjansson2 February 23, 2022

Works great! Solved a big problem for me as woocommerce native related products were showing anything and everything regardless of category or tag :/ This plugin solved the problem.

It Works Okay

GratefulDeb November 21, 2021

It isn’t working the way I thought it would … I set to 4 items based on product tag. I entered the product tag. There are at least 4 items of the same tag – but instead it’s pulling it items from totally different tags.

Excellent plugin

It does exactly what is says it does. But, the biggest advantage for me is that you can set “related by” to attributes, categories, tags… That is an amazing feature. Good job.

Just Perfect
