I need to display a review count for all products in a specific category. The following code works to count all reviews (as comments) for all products, however get_comments()
doesn't seem to be set up to allow taxonomy queries...
function rnr_colors_review_count() {
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product', //Post type
'status' => 'approve',
'count' => 'true'
//I would like to insert a taxonomy arg here, but may need another solution.
);
$comments_count = get_comments($args);
echo 'Total Comments= ' . $comments_count;
}
You need to use a custom lightweight SQL query. I have embedded that Sql query in the function below, with an argument: the product category term slug.
The function:
function get_products_reviews_count_from_category( $term_slug ){
global $wpdb;
return $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "
SELECT COUNT(c.comment_post_ID)
FROM {$wpdb->prefix}comments as c
LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}posts as p ON c.comment_post_ID = p.ID
LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}term_relationships as tr ON p.ID = tr.object_id
LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}term_taxonomy as tt ON tr.term_taxonomy_id = tt.term_taxonomy_id
JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}terms as t ON tt.term_id = t.term_id
WHERE c.comment_type = 'review' AND c.comment_approved = '1'
AND p.post_type = 'product' AND p.post_status = 'publish'
AND tt.taxonomy = 'product_cat' AND t.slug = '%s'
", $term_slug ) );
}
Code goes in functions.php file of your child theme (or in a plugin). Tested and work.
Usage example displaying the reviews count for "accessories" product category term slug:
printf(
'<p class="reviews-count">'.__('Reviews count for %s category: %d', 'woocommerce').'<p>',
__('Accessories', 'woocommerce'),
get_products_reviews_count_from_category( 'accessories' )
);
