Age restrict WooCommerce Categories

Hi @jorizz,

This isn’t possible at the moment – I’ll look into it though. I think it’ll come down to restricting any taxonomy archive (or bypassing them).

Thanks,
Phil

Hi @philsbury,

Thanks for looking into it I’m very interested.

If there is any way I can achieve it right now with your plugin even if that means customizing a bit of code I’d be happy to try that.

Thanks for your work,
Joris

It’s possible, easiest in the standard version;

So, in age-gate/public/class-age-gate-public.php there’s a method called _ageRestricted around line 404.

If you add something like this to the top of it before any of the other tests then it’ll work:

if(is_archive()){
  $cat = get_queried_object();
  if(isset($cat->term_id) && $cat->term_id === 16){ // where 16 is the category ID
    return true;
  }
}

The queried object gives something like the following so if you don’t want to use an id there are other options:

WP_Term Object
(
  [term_id] => 16
  [name] => Category to be restricted
  [slug] => category-to-be-restricted
  [term_group] => 0
  [term_taxonomy_id] => 16
  [taxonomy] => product_cat
  [description] => 
  [parent] => 0
  [count] => 1
  [filter] => raw
)

Of course if you want to do multiple, you could do an in_array or something for the test.

If you’re using the JS version, it might be a little more tricky, but probably workable.
