WooCommerce: Only Display Products On Certain Days

This came in from a Stack Overflow question called WooCommerce Link Product Visibility To Day Of Week

• WooCommerce

1. Copy the WooCommerce template file content-product.php to your theme’s woocommerce directory
2. Change the area where it checks for visibility

// Ensure visibility
if ( ! $product || ! $product->is_visible() )
return;

// Ensure visibility
// starting custom content
$product_visible = check_for_product_allowed_days( $product );
if ( ! $product || ! $product->is_visible() || ! $product_visible )
return;

3. Add the following to your functions.php file

// Allows for the display/non-display of products based off days allowed to be sold.
// This only works in conjunction with editing
// the woocommerce "content-product.php" template file
function check_for_product_allowed_days ( $product ) {

$product_id  =  $product->id;
$product_terms  =  get_the_terms ( $product_id, 'product_tag' );
// remove the strtolower if you capitalized your tag names
$current_day  =  strtolower ( date ( 'l' ) );

// $all_days value should be the name of the tag
// that you want to be able to be ordered on all days
$all_days  =  'all days';

foreach ( $product_terms as $tag ) {
if ( $tag->name  ==  $current_day || $tag->name  ==  $all_days ) {
  $product_is_visible  =  true;
  break;
}
else {
  $product_is_visible  =  false;
}
}
return $product_is_visible;
}

1. Add tags to all of your products

• “All Days” or “all days” (just be sure to change the value of $all_days above to whatever you set it to be – monday, tuesday, wednesday)

I couldn’t find a method to break out of WooCommerce’s loop and set the product visibility before hand so a template update was necessary.

The results aren’t updated with this option, but it shows in this example that there is more products than are displayed.
