My understanding is that when I have “Related Products” enabled in the Customizer > WooCommerce that on my product page I will see other products too, but I thought it was based on the product’s category.

Here’s a function I have, using WooCommerce’s related.php file as the backbone:

function woocommerce_chla_long_description() {

	GLOBAL $product, $woocommerce_loop;

	$related = $product->get_related( $posts_per_page );

	if ( sizeof( $related ) == 0 ) return;

	$args = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_related_products_args', array(
	  'post_type'           => 'product',
	  'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
	  'no_found_rows'       => 1,
	  // 'posts_per_page'      => 3,
	  'showposts'   		=>  3,
	  'orderby'     		=>  'rand',
	  'order'       		=>  'DESC',
	  'post__in'            => $related,
	  'post__not_in'        => array( $product->id )
	) );

    $products = new WP_Query( $args );
    
    $html_out = '<div class="course-meta-description">';
		
		$html_out .= '<div class="x-column x-sm x-2-3" style="padding: 0px;">';
			$html_out .= '<p>' . get_the_content() . '</p>';
		$html_out .= '</div>';
	
		$html_out .= '<div class="x-column x-sm x-1-3" style="padding: 0px;">';
			$term_list = wp_get_post_terms($products->post->ID, 'product_cat', array("fields" => "all"));
            $first_term = $term_list[0];
            $first_term_name = $first_term->name;

			$html_out .= '<h4>' . 'More ' . $first_term_name . ' Courses' . '</h4>';

		$enable  = x_get_option( 'x_woocommerce_product_related_enable' );

	    if ( $products->have_posts() && $enable == '1' ) :

			$html_out .= '<ul class="related-course-list">';

      			while ( $products->have_posts() ) : $products->the_post();

      				$course_title = get_the_title();
      				$url = get_permalink();
      				$course_level = get_field( "course_level" );
			        $course_id = get_field( "course_id" );

      				$html_out .= '<li>';
      					$html_out .= '<a href="' . $url . '">' . $course_title . '</a>';
      					$html_out .= $course_level . ' - ' . $course_id;
	      			$html_out .= '</li>';

      			endwhile;

		    $html_out .= '</ul>'; //end related course list

	    else : // No results
		    $html_out = "No Courses Found.";
		endif; 

		$html_out .= '</div>';
    $html_out .= '</div>'; //end course-meta-description

    wp_reset_postdata();

    echo $html_out;
}

It’s outputting products outside of it’s category. Here’s a link, it’s ordered by ‘rand’ so you may need to refresh a few times to see the issue, a Grade 11 course should not appear on a Grade 12 product page, and vice versa.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! Regretfully this isn’t a feature offered by X. It could be possible with custom development, but this would be outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities.

Thanks for understanding. Take care!
