Woocommerce without single product page for affiliate website

https://gist.github.com/mikejolley/b5c8e0b0dce07f615ccfb400604cfa87

Hi Mike! Copied the entire code into my theme’s function.php. But it generates an error message ??

See the comments in the gist. You may have made a mistake..

Hi Mike, thank you again.

So to clarify I copy this code here:

<?php // Do not include this if already open!

/**
* Code goes in theme functions.php.
*/
add_action( ‘template_redirect’, ‘redirect_external_products’ );

function redirect_external_products() {
global $post;

if ( is_singular( ‘product’ ) && ! empty( $post ) && ( $product = wc_get_product( $post ) ) && $product->is_type( ‘external’ ) ) {
wp_redirect( $product->get_product_url() );
exit;
}
}

And paste it into the functions.php file in my theme?

Is there any particular section of the functions.php file I paste it into? or am I missing something else.

I must apologize in advance, my knowledge of coding is at a beginner level.

Thank you!

Hey there!

You should just be able to add the code, excluding the first line that says do not include after the first <?php tag in functions.php.

It worked!! Thank you so much guys wishing good karma to you both ??

Hi!! Thank you Mike and Jesse for your help. One last question. How can I make the link open in a new tab?

Thank you so much!

This was almost exactly what I was looking for.

The only issue is that wp_redirect, from my understanding, can’t open the link in a new tab. Is there a way to get around this?

The GIST comments refer to a plugin that apparently isnt’ working any longer; and it’d be nice not to have to install yet another extension.

′Hi Amber i have the same problem the plugin dosent work, but the code works, but i need open in new tab too. Any new?

Regards

Hello Everyone,

I have a similar problem on my website but buy customers make purchase on mine not an external website.
I sell pdf files, therefore do not really need the detailed single product page.
I am current losing orders as customers tend to comment on the single product page and don’t proceed to checkout.
I have used some plugins (woocheckout, direct checkout) to shorting the process from “add to cart” to checkout. But I still need to eliminate the single product page

I have zero coding experience and will not want to crash my site.
Please can anyone help.

Regards
Precious
