PHP isn't targeting guest customers in Woocommerce

[martini0]

Does it help if I post my website? Can I do it securely? OK

1. All wholesale users have the wp_capabilities: 

array ( 0 => array ( 'wholesale_customer' => true, 'bbp_participant' => true, ), )

2. "no effect"???  Let me clarify as detailed as possible. I have changed 'wholesale_customer', true ); -> 'translator', true ); BUT then still GUEST (NON LOGGED IN) are NOT seeing: flat_rate:13 and flat_rate:15. The code is thus always removing both flat_rates13 and 15.

Hold on, I have more info!

So I tried a second piece of code. Same issue. It isn't targeting wholesale_users. IT just removed the flat_rate:13 for ALL users guest, subscribers, and wholesale_users.

/**
 * Removes shipping methods for non-wholesale customers.
 * Please be sure to clear your WooCommerce store's cache.
 * Adjust 'flat_rate:2' to match that of your wholesale shipping method.
 */
 
function my_wcs_remove_shipping_non_wholesale( $rates, $package ){
	global $current_user;

	$is_wholesale = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'wholesale_customer', true );

	if ( ! $is_wholesale ) {
		foreach( $rates as $method ) {
			if ( $method->id == 'flat_rate:13') {
				unset( $rates[$method->id] );			
			}
		}
	}
	
	return $rates;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'my_wcs_remove_shipping_non_wholesale', 10, 2 );

This is how I setup my shipment zones. Is that correct? So within 1 zone, 2 options for paid shipment and 2 options for free shipment.

It looks like get_user_meta() alway returns "false".

You need to have a close look at that function's code to determine why.

[martini0]

$is_wholesale = get_user_meta( 'A_USER_ID', 'wholesale_customer', true );  -> I tried, no effect.

Could you rewrite the code to target ALL logged in user? So not only wholesale_customers.

Did you try that code as you show here or did you replace A_USER_ID with an actual ID such as 1 or 2?

Typo

[martini0]

Not the actual ID. Good point. Let me try with an Actual ID

[martini0]

$is_wholesale = get_user_meta( 'user_id=153', 'wholesale_customer', true );

is this correct?

As the purpose of the function is to return "true" if the specified user is a wholesale customer, how do see that working?

No.

$is_wholesale = get_user_meta( 153, 'wholesale_customer', true );

Apparently I was incorrect; I thought the third parameter of get_user_meta was a default value. It's actually telling the function what type of value to return - an array if false, a value if true So it sounds like all your registered users are set to have a meta value of wholesale_customer = true.

How is the system creating the distinction between wholesale and non-wholesale user accounts?

[martini0]

$is_wholesale = get_user_meta( 153, 'wholesale_customer', true );  -> tried but no effect.

Does someone know a work around? Maybe when the code checks for logged in user, it works. But how? It doesn't have to target wholesale_customers only. Because only wholesale_customer needs to log in. Nobody else can log in. Could someone change the code to check for logged in, or not logged in?

Via WooCommerce Wholesale Prices -> it makes a new user ID which is wholesale_customer

[Barand]

Something like this, maybe?

function shipping_methods_based_on_wholesale_customer( $rates, $package ){
    
    if( ! get_current_user_id() ) {
        unset($rates['flat_rate:10'], $rates['flat_rate:7']);  // To be removed for NON Wholesale users
    } else {
        unset($rates['flat_rate:13'], $rates['flat_rate:15']); // To be removed for Wholesale users
    }
    return $rates;
}

Tried it, but not working. It isn't removing any shipment options for both guest as for logged in users.

As requested some time ago...

Can you show us the contents of your $rates array ( echo '<pre>' . print_r($rates, 1) . '</pre>'; )

...and still waiting.

[martini0]

Yes, uhm how do I find that. Sorry 🙂

[Barand]

With the code I've given you to output the $rates array

[martini0]

I have placed the code in functions.php. And saved. All works. So now where can I find that contents of your $rates array? Is that within Directadmin.

[Barand]

It's your $rates array - the one you are using in the function that's being discussed all through this topic. Put the code I gave inside the function and post the out put to us.

function shipping_methods_based_on_wholesale_customer( $rates, $package ){

    echo '<pre>' . print_r($rates, 1) . '</pre>';                                                         // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    
    if( ! get_current_user_id() ) {
        unset($rates['flat_rate:10'], $rates['flat_rate:7']);  // To be removed for NON Wholesale users
    } else {
        unset($rates['flat_rate:13'], $rates['flat_rate:15']); // To be removed for Wholesale users
    }
    return $rates;
}       

 

[martini0]

I must be super annoying, I am so sorry. The code is in my functions.php. It is saved and works. 

Now where do I find that output?

Edited August 5, 2022 by martini0

[Barand]

I was hoping it would be sent to your screen

[Barand]

Try outputting to a file then. (The file "rates_array_content.txt" should be created in the same folder as your script)

function shipping_methods_based_on_wholesale_customer( $rates, $package ){
    
    file_put_contents('rates_array_content.txt', print_r($rates, 1));
    
    if( ! get_current_user_id() ) {
        unset($rates['flat_rate:10'], $rates['flat_rate:7']);  // To be removed for NON Wholesale users
    } else {
        unset($rates['flat_rate:13'], $rates['flat_rate:15']); // To be removed for Wholesale users
    }
    return $rates;
}  

 

[Barand]

Did placing that new line in the function create the file?

[martini0]

1. I have paste the code in functions.php

2. Where should I see the output? I am working in WordPress.

3. Not sure if I am allowed to ask this here, if not, I will erase point 3. Would someone be willing to debug and make the code work? As a gesture, I can make a donation. 🙂 Please tell me if I am not allowed to post this here.
