WooCommerce: Show Related Products In a Blog Post!

Maybe because I’m Italian, but I like exclamation marks! Also, Italian gestures – of course. With that being said, today we look at an amazing WooCommerce customization.

I’ve finally gained back some free time to work on my personal projects, and one of these is an affiliate website. In order to drive traffic to this WooCommerce website, we have a major content strategy and we publish 7 relevant posts per month.

However, it’s difficult to drive blog readers to the shop page, so I came up with a great idea – why not adding a grid of relevant related products at the end of each blog post, based on the most used keywords?

The rationale behind this is quite easy:

  1. you have a list of product tags
  2. you have a blog post full of words
  3. you count and define the most mentioned product tag
  4. you show 10 products from that product tag

Cool, ha? Well, let’s take a look at my code, and feel free to use it on your install!

WooCommerce: Automatically Add Tag To Purchased Products

This functionality can be helpful to those who need to differentiate purchased products from non-purchased ones. Think about a way to automatically discount non-tagged products, in order to entice more sales; or a function that only shows purchased products via a custom shortcode.

No matter the application, “tagging” products upon purchase is super easy. Of course, make sure to create a custom product tag first, and get its ID, so that you can use this in the code below. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Truncate Tag List @ Single Product Page

If you use WooCommerce product tags, it’s possible that a product may belong to 10 or more of them. When that happens, the single product page displays a long list of tag links, which may take too much space (see the below screenshot to visualize this).

Today’s snippet is indeed a way to truncate that list to – say – 3 tags only, and add a “+” to show the rest upon click. In this way if the customer is really interested in that they can expand the view, otherwise tags will take up a single line only. Enjoy!

WooCommerce: Get Product IDs (All, by Tag, by Category)

When you work with WooCommerce PHP snippets, you often need to “get” stuff off your WordPress database in order to make some calculations and return the result on the screen. And if there is something I often google is “How do I get all my store’s product IDs?“.

Thankfully the get_posts WordPress function gives us the answer. In the next weeks we’ll also see how we can get other information, such as all SKUs, all product categories, etc.

So, here’s the quick snippet to return all product IDs on the Cart page (“woocommerce_before_cart” hook) – you can change that if you want to use them somewhere else. Enjoy 🙂
