Exclude related products ids in Woocommerce

Question

function woocommerce_output_related_products() {

    $args = array(
        \'posts_per_page\' => 4,
        \'columns\'        => 4,
        \'orderby\'              


        

Answer 1

Use the woocommerce_related_products filter hook instead, this way:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_related_products', 'exclude_related_products', 10, 3 );
function exclude_related_products( $related_posts, $product_id, $args ){
    // HERE set your product IDs to exclude
    $exclude_ids = array('502','281');

    return array_diff( $related_posts, $exclude_ids );
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
