Remove Notice Only for Composite Products in Woocommerce: A Step-by-Step Guide

The Solution: Using Code to Remove the Notice

The good news is that you can remove the notice using a simple code snippet. Don’t worry if you’re not a coding expert; we’ll walk you through it step-by-step!

Step 1: Adding the Code to Your Functions.php File

To remove the notice, you’ll need to add a code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. You can do this using an FTP client or a file manager like Filezilla. Here’s the code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'remove_composite_notice' );
function remove_composite_notice( $tabs ) {
    if ( is_product() && wc_is_composite( get_the_ID() ) ) {
        remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form', 'woocommerce_composite_add_to_cart_form' );
    }
    return $tabs;
}

Copy and paste this code into your functions.php file. Make sure to add it at the end of the file, before the closing PHP tag (?>).

Step 2: Understanding the Code

Let’s break down what this code does:

• add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'remove_composite_notice' );: This line adds a filter to the `woocommerce_product_tabs` hook, which is responsible for displaying the product tabs. We’re telling Woocommerce to run the `remove_composite_notice` function before displaying the tabs.
• function remove_composite_notice( $tabs ) { ... }: This is the function that will remove the notice. It takes one argument, `$tabs`, which is an array of product tabs.
• if ( is_product() && wc_is_composite( get_the_ID() ) ) { ... }: This conditional statement checks if we’re on a product page (is_product()) and if the product is a composite product (wc_is_composite( get_the_ID() )). If both conditions are true, the code inside the brackets will run.
• remove_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_form', 'woocommerce_composite_add_to_cart_form' );: This line removes the action that displays the “This product is a composite” notice. We’re telling Woocommerce to stop running the `woocommerce_composite_add_to_cart_form` function, which is responsible for displaying the notice.
• return $tabs;: Finally, we return the `$tabs` array, which is necessary for the `woocommerce_product_tabs` hook to function correctly.

Step 3: Saving and Testing

Once you’ve added the code to your functions.php file, save the changes and upload the file to your server. Now, go to your Woocommerce store and visit a composite product page. The notice should be gone!

Troubleshooting and Customization

If you’re still seeing the notice or if you want to customize the solution, here are some additional tips:

• Check your theme’s functions.php file**: Make sure the code is added correctly and that there are no syntax errors in your functions.php file.
• Use a code snippet plugin**: If you’re not comfortable editing your theme’s files, consider using a code snippet plugin like Code Snippets or Insert Headers and Footers. These plugins allow you to add code to your site without modifying your theme’s files.
• Customize the code**: If you want to remove the notice only for specific composite products, you can modify the conditional statement in the code. For example, you could add a custom meta field to your composite products and check for that field in the code.
• Test in different scenarios**: Make sure to test the solution in different scenarios, such as when the composite product has multiple components or when it’s part of a bundle.
