[SOLVED] Displaying non-featured recent products products with a shortcode?

Displaying non-featured recent products products with a shortcode?

In WooCommerce, I'm trying to get "recent products" that are no featured with this shortcode:

[product_attribute attribute='_featured' filter='no' orderby="date" order="desc"]

But it doesn't seem to take any effect.

How can I achieve this?

Please do not propose 3rd party plugins.*

Thanks

Solution

In this shortcode, attributes works with variable products and your actual shortcode can't really work as featured product functionality is not an attribute.

You should better try to use [recent_products] shortcodes instead, setting in all your featured products a "Featured" category (with "featured" slug)…

Then you could use the shortcode this way:

[recent_products category='featured' operator='NOT IN']

You don't need to set orderby and order arguments as the defaults ones are:

$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
    'per_page' => '12',
    'columns'  => '4',
    'orderby'  => 'date',
    'order'    => 'desc',
    'category' => '',  // Slugs
    'operator' => 'IN' // Possible values are 'IN', 'NOT IN', 'AND'.
), $atts, 'recent_products' );
