WordPress – Custom Page Template for WooCommerce Frontend Product Publishing Request

My goal is to create a page template whereof several things needs to happen. The general idea is this:

  1. If the user is not logged in, exit with a message.
  2. Is the user logged + is admin = allow page template content to be displayed.
  3. I need all the fields that otherwise are available in WooCommerce admin to be available within the template, in other words – the following:
    • Product name
    • Short and long description
    • Price
    • Sale price (with start and end date) = does it need to be a jQuery of sorts as in "date and time picker"?
    • SKU
    • Shipping = weight and dimensions
    • Category
    • Product Featured Image

I have done what I can based on what I know etc, but need help making sure this works with all the required fields. It should be based on a BootStrap 5 layout.

I can fill out the fields and press "Submit", but nothing happens. No product shows up in admin.

This is the code that I am working with:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Create Product
*/
?>

<?php get_header();

global $product;
global $woocommerce;

    // check if user is logged in - if not, return to home page with message
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
    
        $redirect_to_page  = home_url();
        
        $page_viewed = basename( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] );

        if ( $page_viewed === "page-create-product.php" && $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'GET' ) {
    
        wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_to_page );
    
    exit;
    
    echo '<div class="not-logged-product-submit">You're not authorized to create products.</div>';

    } else {

    if ( is_user_logged_in() && current_user_can('administrator') ) {

        echo '<div class="not-logged-product-submit">You're logged in. You are admin. Go ahead.</div>';
        
        }
    }
}

?>

    After reviewing your code, I have identified multiple issues that need to be addressed.

    1. It seems that the file you are working on is a page template. The $product global variable won’t point to any product data. It means $product->is_type( 'auction' ) won’t work as you expected.
    2. The code has logical issues. For example, please check the if else block. You will see the users logged in but not admin can view&submit the form.
    3. The code under exit function call won’t be executed. (echo '<div class="not-logged-product-submit">You're not authorized to create products.</div>'; won’t be executed)
    4. You will see headers already sent warnings as wp_safe_redirect is called after get_header() function. To show the error message and redirect to homepage for non-logged users, please use javascript instead of wp_safe_redirect.
    5. You used unnecessary parameters for wp_insert_post function. I guess you wanted to add the meta data with the product insert. In the case you can use meta_input parameter.

    Please check https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/ for more details.
    Also, I think it’s better to use WooCommerce function than wp_insert_post function like below.

    $product = new WC_Product_Simple();
$product->set_name( 'Lorem Ipsum' ); // product title
$product->set_slug( 'lorem-ipsum' );
$product->set_regular_price( 500.00 ); // in current shop currency
$product->set_short_description( '<p>Lorem Ipsum</p>' );
$product->set_description( 'long description here...' );
$product->set_image_id( 90 );
// $product->set_category_ids( array( 19 ) );
// $product->set_tag_ids( array(123) );
$product->save();

    First you need add attribute name=submit:

    <div>
    <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Request Product To Be Published" class="submit" onclick="product_submit();" />
</div>

    Also

      'product_title' => $_POST['product_name'],

    Should always not empty 🙂
