Featured products display problem in custom build theme WooCommerce 3.0

Looking at WooCommerce core code, something like this:

$meta_query  = WC()->query->get_meta_query();
$tax_query   = WC()->query->get_tax_query();
$tax_query[] = array(
	'taxonomy' => 'product_visibility',
	'field'    => 'name',
	'terms'    => 'featured',
	'operator' => 'IN',
	);

$bandproduct_args = array(
	'post_type'           => 'product',
	'post_status'         => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page'      => '-1',
	'orderby'             => 'modified',
	'order'               => 'DESC',
	'meta_query'          => $meta_query,
	'tax_query'           => $tax_query,
);

With example output code (found on a Stack Exchange thread):

<?php
$meta_query  = WC()->query->get_meta_query();
$tax_query   = WC()->query->get_tax_query();
$tax_query[] = array(
	'taxonomy' => 'product_visibility',
	'field'    => 'name',
	'terms'    => 'featured',
	'operator' => 'IN',
	);

$bandproduct_args = array(
	'post_type'           => 'product',
	'post_status'         => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page'      => '-1',
	'orderby'             => 'modified',
	'order'               => 'DESC',
	'meta_query'          => $meta_query,
	'tax_query'           => $tax_query,
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $bandproduct_args );
    while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); global $product; ?>
    
       <li>    
            <?php 
                if ( has_post_thumbnail( $loop->post->ID ) ) 
                    echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $loop->post->ID, 'shop_catalog' ); 
                else 
                    echo '<img src="' . woocommerce_placeholder_img_src() . '" alt="Placeholder" width="65px" height="115px" />'; 
            ?>
            <h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3>

            <?php 
                echo $product->get_price_html(); 
                woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart( $loop->post, $product );
            ?>    
        </li>

<?php 
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query(); 
?>

You’re welcome. Always happy to help when I can.

I have the following code that doesnt seem to work with WordPress 3. Could you help fix it?

<?php

$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_featured’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘yes’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 1,
);

$featured_query = new WP_Query( $args );
if ($featured_query->have_posts()) : while ($featured_query->have_posts()) : $featured_query->the_post(); ?>
<div class=”botm cont-centre”>
<h2>Featured Book</h2>

<div class=”book-feature”>
<?php if(has_post_thumbnail()): ?>
<?php
$image_title = esc_attr( get_the_title( get_post_thumbnail_id() ) );
$image = get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, ‘product-thumb’ , array(
‘title’ => ‘Book cover of’ . $image_title,
‘alt’ => ‘Book cover of’ . $image_title
));

echo $image;
?>
<?php else: ?>
/images/no-cover.jpg” alt=”No book cover available, blank cover” title=”No book cover available for this result” />
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

<?php
$title = get_the_title();
$authors = get_field(‘book_author_select’);
$publisher = get_field(‘book_publisher’);
$pubished = get_field(‘book_year_published’);
$condition = get_field(‘book_condition’);
$cover_type = get_field(‘book_cover_type’);
$edition = get_field(‘book_edition’);
$book_id = get_field(‘book_id’);
$isbn = get_field(‘book_isbn-13_number’);
$isbn10 = get_field(‘book_isbn-10_number’);
$price = $product->get_price_html();
$narrative = get_field(‘book_narrative’);
?>

<div class=”book-content”>
<ul class=”book-details”>

• Title: <?php echo $title; ?>
• Author: <?php echo $authors[0]->post_title; ?>
• Publisher: <?php echo $publisher->post_title; ?>
• Published: <?php echo $pubished; ?>
• Edition: <?php echo $edition; ?>
• Ref: <?php echo $book_id; ?>

<div class=”book-desc”>
<h3>About The Book</h3>
<p><?php echo $narrative; ?></p>

• Contact Seller
• ” class=”view”>View This Book

</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; wp_reset_query();?>

Please wrap your PHP code in code tags, it’s hard to read and it’s breaking the forum’s page layout.

Try swapping:

$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
‘meta_key’ => ‘_featured’,
‘meta_value’ => ‘yes’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 1,
);

For:

$meta_query  = WC()->query->get_meta_query();
$tax_query   = WC()->query->get_tax_query();
$tax_query[] = array(
	'taxonomy' => 'product_visibility',
	'field'    => 'name',
	'terms'    => 'featured',
	'operator' => 'IN',
);

$args = array(
	'post_type'           => 'product',
	'post_status'         => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page'      => '1',
	'meta_query'          => $meta_query,
	'tax_query'           => $tax_query,
);
