Exclude products with specific category and user role from search result

  • Hello,

    I would like to exclude certain WooCommerce products from appearing in the search for a specific user role only. I have got this code from another topic on this site, but it doesn’t include the user role restriction. Can you please help?

    add_filter( ‘relevanssi_indexing_restriction’, ‘rlv_exclude_category_x’ );
    function rlv_exclude_category_x( $restriction ) {
    global $wpdb;
    $restriction[‘mysql’] .= ” AND post.ID NOT IN (
    SELECT tr.object_id FROM $wpdb->term_relationships AS tr, $wpdb->term_taxonomy AS tt
    WHERE tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id
    AND tt.term_id = 507 ) “; // replace X with the category ID
    $restriction[‘reason’] .= ‘ In the wrong category’;
    return $restriction;
    }

    That filter hook doesn’t work; it’s an indexing hook, so it applies to all searches.

    The correct tool is the relevanssi_post_ok hook, which can be used to control who sees which posts. There are lots of examples of the hook use in the Relevanssi knowledge base, see the link above.
