Making custom WooCommerce loop

3 Views

I’m using already designed theme for wordpress, and now instead of regular blog posts I would like to display WooCommerce products (which are custom post types I persume).

This is the current query with display loop:

<?php 
                $args = array(
                    //'posts_per_page' => '2',
                    'paged' => get_query_var('paged')
                );
                $homepage_query = new WP_Query($args);
            ?>
            <?php //query_posts('posts_per_page=4&paged='.get_query_var('paged')); ?>
            <?php if ( have_posts() ) : ?>  
                <?php while ( $homepage_query->have_posts() ) : $homepage_query->the_post(); ?>
                    <?php if($style == 'blog_style') { ?>
                    <div id="blog-style" class="post-box">
                        <?php get_template_part('content', 'blog'); ?>
                    </div>
                    <?php } else { ?>
                    <div class="post-box grid_4 <?php aero_post_box_class(); ?>">
                        <?php get_template_part('content', ''); ?>
                    </div>
                    <?php } ?>
                <?php endwhile; ?>

Is there a way to add options to $args so the loop displays WooCommerce products? I’m also using pagination with this loop, which is required on this project, so that’s why it’s important to use this loop.

  1. You should be able to access products through the loop, setting the post_type arg to product:

    <?php

// Setup your custom query
$args = array( 'post_type' => 'product', ... );
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );

while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>

    <a href="<?php echo get_permalink( $loop->post->ID ) ?>">
        <?php the_title(); ?>
    </a>

<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); // Remember to reset ?>

  2. This is the proper way to re-create and customize the WooCommerce product loop:

      if(!function_exists('wc_get_products')) {
    return;
  }

  $paged                   = (get_query_var('paged')) ? absint(get_query_var('paged')) : 1; // if your custom loop is on a static front page then check for the query var 'page' instead of 'paged', see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_query/#pagination-parameters
  $ordering                = WC()->query->get_catalog_ordering_args();
  $ordering['orderby']     = array_shift(explode(' ', $ordering['orderby']));
  $ordering['orderby']     = stristr($ordering['orderby'], 'price') ? 'meta_value_num' : $ordering['orderby'];
  $products_per_page       = apply_filters('loop_shop_per_page', wc_get_default_products_per_row() * wc_get_default_product_rows_per_page());

  $products_ids            = wc_get_products(array(
    'status'               => 'publish',
    'limit'                => $products_per_page,
    'page'                 => $paged,
    'paginate'             => true,
    'return'               => 'ids',
    'orderby'              => $ordering['orderby'],
    'order'                => $ordering['order'],
  ));

  wc_set_loop_prop('current_page', $paged);
  wc_set_loop_prop('is_paginated', wc_string_to_bool(true));
  wc_set_loop_prop('page_template', get_page_template_slug());
  wc_set_loop_prop('per_page', $products_per_page);
  wc_set_loop_prop('total', $products_ids->total);
  wc_set_loop_prop('total_pages', $products_ids->max_num_pages);

  if($products_ids) {
    do_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop');
    woocommerce_product_loop_start();
      foreach($products_ids->products as $featured_product) {
        $post_object = get_post($featured_product);
        setup_postdata($GLOBALS['post'] =& $post_object);
        wc_get_template_part('content', 'product');
      }
      wp_reset_postdata();
    woocommerce_product_loop_end();
    do_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop');
  } else {
    do_action('woocommerce_no_products_found');
  }

    Using the code above, you would customize the wc_get_products() arguments to get the IDs of the products you want (if you have specific criteria). Once that code is in place, all the features of a native WooCommerce loop will be available to you—pagination, ordering, etc. This method is superior to WP_Query and get_posts() because those two methods can break.

  3. You can Also get Category using thi code

           $terms = get_terms('product_cat');

       foreach ($terms as $term) {
         $term_link =  get_term_link( $term, 'product_cat' );
         echo '<li><a href="' . $term_link . '">' . $term->name . '</a></li>';
       }

    If You want only parent category then

    wp_list_categories('taxonomy=product_cat&orderby=order&title_li=&depth=1');
