Add: Sort Products by Views

Hi there!

We have documentation here on how to add a custom sorting option to WooCommerce – https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/custom-sorting-options-ascdesc/

If you need help with adding that, we highly recommend contacting one of the services on our Customizations page (https://woocommerce.com/customizations/)

Thanks for the answer!

Buit and added one by my own now with codes from the internet.

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product', 'prefix_save_product_views' );
function prefix_save_product_views(  ) {

    $product_id = get_the_ID();
    $increment = 1;
    $current_visit_count = get_post_meta( $product_id, 'product_visit_count', true );

    $total_visit_count = (int)$current_visit_count + $increment;
    update_post_meta( $product_id, 'product_visit_count', $total_visit_count );

}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_catalog_orderby', 'misha_add_custom_sorting_options' );
 
function misha_add_custom_sorting_options( $options ){
 
	$options['popular'] = 'Beliebteste';
	
	return $options;
 
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args', 'misha_custom_product_sorting' );
 
function misha_custom_product_sorting( $args ) {
 
	// Nach Aufrufen sortieren
	if ( isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) && 'popular' === $_GET['orderby'] ) {
	$args['meta_key'] = 'product_visit_count';
    $args['orderby'] = 'meta_value_num';
    $args['order'] = 'desc';
		}
    return $args;
}

Only Problem is that when I use this sort option some products or product rows show twice. With other sort options ( newest,price,etc…) i dont have this problem.

Thanks for letting me know!

I tested you code on my site and I do not see the duplication of products and the sorting works well;

Could you try on your site with our Storefront theme to see if you see the same?

Finally found the problem!

I just changed ‘meta_value_num’ to ‘meta_value_num meta_value’. There were some people on the internet who had similar issues with their blog sites + infinite scroll.

I took me days to built a complete working “views sorting option” because i dont have any php skills at all xD.

Nice! Thanks for letting me know!

I’m going to mark this as resolved – if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread ??
