Woocommerce Restrict or Hide Products and Categories from specific user roles

Hey Dan,

Thank you for posting this. This is exactly what I need but for some reason it does not seem to be hiding the category from the woocommerce product category widget. Any ideas?

-Category i’m trying to hide ‘display’
-I would like the Category ‘display’ to be visable only to ‘wholesale customer’ and ‘administrator’

-website link here

Here is the code I have.

// Woocommerce - Redirect unauthorised users from accessing a specified product category when clicked or visited via direct url

function woocommerce_hide_non_registered() {
 if( ( is_product_category('display') ) && ! ( current_user_can( 'wholesale customer' ) || current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) ) {
 wp_redirect( site_url( '/' ));
 exit();
 }
}
add_action( 'template_redirect','woocommerce_hide_non_registered' );
// End - Woocommerce - redirect unauthorised users from accessing a specified product category
// Woocommerce - Removes category link from woocommerce product category widgets so they are not seen
add_filter( 'get_terms', 'get_subcategory_terms', 10, 3 );
function get_subcategory_terms( $terms, $taxonomies, $args ) {
  $new_terms = array();
  // if a product category and on the shop page
  if ( in_array( 'product_cat', $taxonomies ) && ! ( current_user_can( 'wholesale customer' ) || current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) && is_shop() ) {
    foreach ( $terms as $key => $term ) {
      if ( ! in_array( $term->slug, array( 'display' ) ) ) {
        $new_terms[] = $term;
      }
    }
    $terms = $new_terms;
  }
  return $terms;
}
// End - Woocommerce - Removes category link from woocommerce product category widgets so they are not seen
// Woocommerce - Remove products from being displayed that belong to a category user is not authorised to visit. Products seem to still be accessible via direct url unfortunately.
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts' );
function custom_pre_get_posts( $q ) {
		if ( ! $q->is_main_query() ) return;
		if ( ! $q->is_post_type_archive() ) return;
		if ( ! ( current_user_can( 'wholesale customer' ) || current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) && is_shop() ) {
			   $q->set( 'tax_query', array(array(
				   'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
				   'field' => 'slug',
				   'terms' => array( 'display'), // Don't display products in the private-clients category on the shop page
				   'operator' => 'NOT IN'
			   )));
		}
remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );
}
// End - Woocommerce - Remove products from being displayed that belong to a category user is not authorised to visit. Products seem to still be accessible via direct url unfortunately.

@jgoug:
I think it will work correctly if you assigned the few users into a specific user role such as “subscriber” or “author”

You might have to customize the user privileges to match your needs.

This code is perfect for what I needed. Out of the box it worked except for when a non-logged-in user searches directly for a product.So, just copy and pasted the if statement in your first function for every subcategory or product I needed restricted.

function woocommerce_hide_non_registered() {
if( ( is_product_category(‘display’) ) && ! ( current_user_can( ‘wholesale_customer’ ) || current_user_can( ‘administrator’ ) ) ) {
wp_redirect( site_url( ‘/’ ));
exit();
}

I changed is_product_category to is_product and it worked for products to. If you have a lot of products you have to do an if statement for every one.

Hi,

I used the code from: Stan_Joco(which is originally from SideKick Dan.

Only changed the categoryname (specials) and User-role “wholesale-user” changed to “customer”.

Unfortunately the specials-category (and it’s products) are still visible.

Is there someone that can help me with this?
Thanks?

Code I have added to the functions.php of the theme.

//to do figure out how to restrict a product located in an unauthorised category based on the url

Minor change:
Not “customer” but staffel_g_klanten”” , which is the customergroup (Role) I want to make the “specials” visible to.

You can use the WooCommerce Products Visibility plugin.

This plugin hides the selected products, categories and tags from your whole website, eg. from the menus, the widgets and even from the theme you use, as long as the theme is using WordPress filters.
