WooCommerce: Hide Products Based On Custom Field / ACF Value

We’ve already seen how to hide products based on IP addresses, hide products belonging to a specific category and even hide all products from the Shop page.

Today I want to publish another version of those, but this time we’ll use a custom field / ACF in our conditional logic, so that we can toggle the product visibility based on its value. Enjoy!

PHP Snippet: Remove Products With Specific Custom Field Value @ Shop

Simply change “whatever_key” and “whatever_value” below to your custom field / ACF key and value.

This snippet will tell the WooCommerce query to show all products where key = “whatever_key” does not exist OR where value is different from “whatever_value” in case key = “whatever_key” is set.

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'bbloomer_hide_product_if_cf_query', 9999, 2 );
 
function bbloomer_hide_product_if_cf_query( $q, $query ) {
    if ( is_admin() ) return;
    $meta_query = $q->get( 'meta_query');
	 $meta_query[] = array(
		'relation' => 'OR',
		array(
			'key'       => 'whatever_key',
			'compare'   => 'NOT EXISTS',
		),
		array(
			'key'       => 'whatever_key',
			'value'     => 'whatever_value',
			'compare'   => '!=',
		),
    );
	 $q->set( 'meta_query', $meta_query ); 
}

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?"
