WooCommerce: Exclude Hidden Products from Mini-Cart Counter

When you add a hidden product to Cart, either manually or programmatically, this will be displayed in the Cart, Checkout and Order details pages (I’m not sure why a hidden product behaves like that… but thankfully you can hide hidden products from the Cart/Checkout/Order page with this snippet).

Problem is, even if you hide hidden products from the Cart page, the “Mini-Cart” product counter icon or text (it depends on your theme) will still count them as products (see the screenshot below). So the question is: in conjunction with the snippet aforementioned, how do I exclude hidden products from being counted in the “menu cart” (also called Mini-Cart Widget)?

// PLEASE NOTE: EMPTY THE CART BEFORE TESTING

add_filter( 'woocommerce_cart_contents_count', 'bbloomer_exclude_hidden_minicart_counter' );

function bbloomer_exclude_hidden_minicart_counter( $quantity ) {
  $hidden = 0;
  foreach( WC()->cart->get_cart() as $cart_item ) {
	 $product = $cart_item['data'];
	 if ( $product->get_catalog_visibility() == 'hidden' ) $hidden += $cart_item['quantity'];
  }
  $quantity -= $hidden;
  return $quantity;
}

Where to add custom code?

You should place custom PHP in functions.php and custom CSS in style.css of your child theme: where to place WooCommerce customization?

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101
