WooCommerce: Get List of Downloadable Products

When you’re doing custom PHP work, this snippet will come handy. It’s a quick way to get a sublist of product IDs based on product meta criteria – in this case we’ll get a list of products that have “_downloadable” set to “yes” (which, translated in English, means they are “downloadable”).

Of course, you can edit this snippet to get any sublist of product IDs, for example in stock products, custom field value products, below/above sales number, and so on. Whatever is stored as a custom field can be used. Enjoy!

	'numberposts' => -1,
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'fields' => 'ids',
	'meta_query' => array( array(

));

// Print array on screen
print_r( $product_ids );

Where to add this snippet?

You can place PHP snippets at the bottom of your child theme functions.php file (delete "?>" if you have it there). CSS, on the other hand, goes in your child theme style.css file. Make sure you know what you are doing when editing such files - if you need more guidance, please take a look at my free video tutorial "Where to Place WooCommerce Customization?"
