I am trying to force woocommerce to append product categories instead of overwriting when uploading new categories via csv.
I have tried finding code snippets.searched the codex and tried to use wp-includes/post.php to create function.
function wp_set_post_terms( $post_id = 0, $tags = '', $taxonomy = 'post_tag', $append = true ) {
$post_id = (int) $post_id;
if ( ! $post_id ) {
return true;
}
if ( empty( $tags ) ) {
$tags = array();
}
if ( ! is_array( $tags ) ) {
$comma = _x( ',', 'tag delimiter' );
if ( ',' !== $comma ) {
$tags = str_replace( $comma, ',', $tags );
}
$tags = explode( ',', trim( $tags, " \n\t\r\0\x0B," ) );
}
if ( is_taxonomy_hierarchical( $taxonomy ) ) {
$tags = array_unique( array_map( 'intval', $tags ) );
}
return wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, $tags, $taxonomy, $append );
}
I expect woocommerce product categories to be appended rather than overwritten.
actual result
fatal error on line 29: Cannot redeclare wp_set_post_terms() (previously declared in /var/www/html/wp-includes/post.php:4108)
tried this code. no errors but does not append categories
function append_post_categories( $post_ID = array(), $post_categories = array(), $append = true ) {
$post_ID = (int) $post_ID;
$post_type = get_post_type( $post_ID );
$post_status = get_post_status( $post_ID );
// If $post_categories isn't already an array, make it one:
$post_categories = (array) $post_categories;
if ( empty( $post_categories ) ) {
if ( 'post' == $post_type && 'auto-draft' != $post_status ) {
$post_categories = array( get_option( 'default_category' ) );
$append = true;
} else {
$post_categories = array();
}
} elseif ( 1 == count( $post_categories ) && '' == reset( $post_categories ) ) {
return true;
}
return wp_set_post_terms( $post_ID, $post_categories, 'category', $append );
}
The post type for WooCommerce products is product
but not post
and the taxonomy for "product category" is not category
but product_cat
instead as it is a custom taxonomy for product
custom post type…
So if you want to use your function for WooCommerce product category on products, try this:
function append_product_categories( $product_id, $term_ids, $append = true ) {
$product_id = (int) $product_id;
$post_type = get_post_type( $product_id );
$post_status = get_post_status( $product_id );
$term_ids = (array) $term_ids;
if ( empty( $term_ids ) ) {
if ( 'product' == $post_type && 'auto-draft' != $post_status ) {
$term_ids = array( get_option( 'default_product_cat' ) );
$append = true;
} else {
$term_ids = array();
}
} elseif ( 1 == count( $term_ids ) && '' == reset( $term_ids ) ) {
return true;
}
// Check for existing term id in the product | Check if term exist in Woocommerce
foreach( $term_ids as $key => $term_id ) {
if( hast_term( $term_id, 'product_cat', $product_id ) || ! term_exists( $term_id, 'product_cat' ) ) {
unset($term_ids[$key]); // remove term id from the array
}
}
return wp_set_post_terms( $product_id, $term_ids, 'product_cat', $append );
}
It should better works for WooCommerce Product categories (untested)
