Hide a WooCommerce Category from the Search Result
In this post we will show you how to add a product category restriction to the search bar results in the menu. In our example, we will search for “sample products” because there are some products with the category “Sample Products”. Then, we will try to remove these products from the search results with PHP code.
When we first search for “sample products”, all products with the “Sample Products” category are displayed below each other:
You can remove a category from the search results by adding the following code to your functions.php file. If you want to remove another category, simply change the value at “terms”.
function arrow_design_hide_rentals_from_search_pre_get_posts( $query ) {
if (!is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && $query->is_search()) {
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'product' ) );
$tax_query = array(
array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'Sample Products',
'operator' => 'NOT IN',
),
);$query->set( 'tax_query', $tax_query );
}
}add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'arrow_design_hide_rentals_from_search_pre_get_posts');
After adding and saving the code and searching for “sample product” again, this is shown:
