Custom Product Loop – Exclude "Hidden" Products

  • Hello.

    I’m using a theme that has a custom product loop on the home page. Everything is great except “hidden” and/or “private” products are showing on the home page. Can someone please look at this code and let me know what to add in order to exclude “hidden” products.

    <?php if (of_get_option("cap_show_merch") == true){?>
		<?php //woocommerce check ?>
		<?php if (  in_array( 'woocommerce/woocommerce.php', apply_filters( 'active_plugins', get_option( 'active_plugins' ) ) ) ) { ?>
			<h2><?php echo of_get_option("cap_merch_title"); ?></h2>
			<div class="preview-block">
				<?php
                global $product;
                $num = 0;
                $merch = new WP_Query( array(
                'posts_per_page' => 5,
                'post_type'      => array( 'product' )
                ) );

                if( $merch->have_posts() ) : while( $merch->have_posts() ) : $merch->the_post();
                    $product = get_product();

                    if ( $num == 0 ) : ?>
                        <div class="preview">
                            <div class="visual">
                                <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
                                    <img src="<?php echo aq_resize( wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full' ), 473, 453, true );  ?>" width="473" height="453" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
                                <?php else : ?>
                                    <img src="<?php echo woocommerce_placeholder_img_src(); ?>" alt="Placeholder" />
                                <?php endif; ?>
                                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="mask"></a>
                                <?php woocommerce_template_loop_price(); ?>
                            </div>
                            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="caption"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                        </div>
                    <?php else : ?>
                        <?php if ( $num == 1 ) : ?>
                            <ul class="catalog">
                        <?php endif; ?>
                        <li>
                            <div class="visual">
                                <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ) : ?>
                                    <img src="<?php echo aq_resize( wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id(), 'full' ), 222, 193, true );  ?>" width="222" height="193" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />
                                <?php else : ?>
                                    <img src="<?php echo woocommerce_placeholder_img_src(); ?>" alt="Placeholder" />
                                <?php endif; ?>
                                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="mask"></a>
                                <?php woocommerce_template_loop_price(); ?>
                            </div>
                            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
                        </li>
                        <?php
                    endif;
                    $num++;
                endwhile;
                ?>
                </ul>
                <?php endif; wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
			</div><!--preview-block-->
		<?php } //woocommerce check?>

  • Try changing it to this:

    https://pastebin.com/hMwstqs9

    I added ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’

    Hidden products are still published.

    You need to add a meta query to check the visibility;

    'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_visibility',
'value' => array( 'catalog', 'visible' ),
'compare' => 'IN'
)
)

    Thank you Gentleman.

    I have been working on adding this over 2 hours. I copied and pasted James’s code like this,

    <?php
                global $product;
                $num = 0;
                $merch = new WP_Query( array(
                'posts_per_page' => 5,
                'post_type'      => array( 'product' )
                'meta_query' => array(
array(
'key' => '_visibility',
'value' => array( 'catalog', 'visible' ),
'compare' => 'IN'
)
)
				) );

    But this returns an error,

    “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ‘)’“

    I’ve used syntax checkers and researched the meta_query array without any luck as to making this work. If any one has the time, I would appreciate further guidance.

    Thank you

    I know this is old but I can see there is a missing , after
    'post_type' => array( 'product' )
