This commit reverts the functionality introduced in PR #26260
(later refined by #27175, #27190, #27508) in which filtering by
attribute using the layered nav widget was improved to handle the
cases of variations out of stock. The revert is a response to the
numerous problems reported by users in Woo 4.4 and 4.5
Not all the code has been reverted, only the code that resulted in
visible functionality changes. Thus, the code that generates
term relationships for variations is still in place to keep database
consistency and to keep the reverting changes to the minimum needed.
Since reverting the PR at this point would be a mess I've gone ahead and removed the internals of the container. We should aim to keep the class since it's now part of our public API but it won't work as expected anymore. This is fine for now since we don't actually have anything in it!
This bug was introduced in #26260. The sequence is:
1. WC_Query::adjust_posts_count runs, to handle found_posts filter,
this indirectly executes wc_setup_loop.
2. At this point $GLOBALS['wp_query']->max_num_pages hasn't been set
yet, and has a value of 0. Thus the loop variable total_pages
is set to 0.
3. Later wc_setup_loop runs again and this time
$GLOBALS['wp_query']->max_num_pages is already set, but since
the loop variable total_pages already exists, it keeps its
value of 0.
4. The pagination controls never show if total_pages is less than 2.
The fix consists of hooking into the_posts to set the value of
total_pages again, at that point $GLOBALS['wp_query']->max_num_pages
is already set.
PR #26260 introduced a handler for 'found_posts' filter in WC_Query
class in order to adjust the count depending on the visibility
of variation products. However the handler incorrectly assumed
that the filter was triggered only when listing products, when
actually it's also triggered for any post type e.g. pages.
In these cases the post count was set to zero, which caused bugs.
Now the handler starts with the originally supplied posts count,
and only decrements it when a post is a product AND is not visible.
Now, if there are filters present the logic is as follows:
- For multiple filtering values of the same attribute:
the product is visible if there's at least one variation
that has one of the filtering values associated to the attribute,
or if there's at least one variation having the attribute
with a value of "Any".
- For filtering by more than one attribute:
the product is visible if there's at least one variation that
is visible for ALL the attributes according to the above rule.
Note that this is irrespective of the type of logic configured for
the filter (OR or AND).
