Related / Similar Products Are Not Very Similar

[Monumart]

Hi,

I need to know where the theme is pulling the related products from that appear at the bottom of each single product page. At the moment it seems to be a bit random – shouldn’t it pull from the current category?

If you look here: https://www.yaheestore.co.uk/shop/alphabet-chair-table-set-kids-children-playroom-plastic-abc-table-furniture-set/

This is under the category Home Furniture & DIY > Furniture > Children’s Furniture

But one of the suggested products underneath is a dog grooming table that isn’t even in the same category, that is in Pet Supplies > Dog Supplies

Please can you let me know how I only show similar products from the same category underneath each product page.

I’ve just reloaded the page and now it shows something from Sporting Goods > Pool & Snooker

I think this is broken as it seems pointless to just show random products underneath that aren’t even in the same category.

Hi,

The related products get from the product have same tags, belong to same category https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/related-products-up-sells-and-cross-sells/

You can use a plugin to custom related products https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-custom-related-products/

Best regards

OK thanks I will look into that as it isn’t pulling from the categories as it’s supposed to do.

Also can someone look into a more urgent issue that has started again since I updated to the latest version of the theme:

Add to cart button taking 30 seconds to work

Just for anyone else with this issue – WooCommerce pulls from both categories AND tags, so if you’ve tagged a lot of products with similar keywords then these will appear under “Related Products”.

I have fixed this by adding the code below that ignores tags when matching related products:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_related_posts_relate_by_tag', '__return_false' );

to the functions.php file in the child theme folder.

Despite the fact it explicitly states I can use BBCode in these replies, the above proves otherwise. Obviously ignore the [code][/code] of the above and use just the line inbetween.

I edit the code to correct as you want

Thank you so much!
