Set Catalog visibility hidden woo-commerce

2 comments

1. I have tried doing this for some days, and there is nothing about it online so I read the woocommerce documentation and discovered that in woocommerce 3.x.x the visibility is a taxonomy called “product_visibility”.

   To achieve that you should set taxonomy terms, for example:

   //Set product hidden: 
   $terms = array( 'exclude-from-catalog', 'exclude-from-search' );
   wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $terms, 'product_visibility' );
   
   //Set product visible in catalog:
   $terms = 'exclude-from-search';
   wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $terms, 'product_visibility' );
   
   //Set product visible in search:
   $terms = 'exclude-from-catalog';
   wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $terms, 'product_visibility' );
   

   All possible taxonomy terms:

   "exclude-from-catalog"
   "exclude-from-search"
   "featured"
   "outofstock"
   

2. The visibility is set in the custom field _visibility. You can change it with update_post_meta():

   update_post_meta( $product_id, '_visibility', '_visibility_hidden' );
   

   Possible values:

   • visible (Catalog & Search)
   • catalog (Catalog only)
   • search (Search only)
   • hidden (nowhere)
