Woocommerce when deleting a product, automatically also delete the product gallery and product image

Question

I was trying the following:

when a product page gets deleted (permanently), it should also delete the: product gallery and product image which are attached to the post.

I tried the solution i found on: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/109793/delete-associated-media-upon-page-deletion

But it didn't work out for me.

Answer 1

Although this is an old question, I will leave it here in case someone will be looking for it in the future.

Since you want to delete product images, you may try these neat and handy woocommerce functions to get attachments ids.

Something like this:

add_action( 'before_delete_post', 'delete_product_images', 10, 1 );

function delete_product_images( $post_id )
{
    $product = wc_get_product( $post_id );

    if ( !$product ) {
        return;
    }

    $featured_image_id = $product->get_image_id();
    $image_galleries_id = $product->get_gallery_image_ids();

    if( !empty( $featured_image_id ) ) {
        wp_delete_post( $featured_image_id );
    }

    if( !empty( $image_galleries_id ) ) {
        foreach( $image_galleries_id as $single_image_id ) {
            wp_delete_post( $single_image_id );
        }
    }
}

Works fine for me.

Answer 2

add_action("before_delete_post","wdm_delete_post_images",10,1);

function wdm_delete_post_images($post_id)
{
 global $wpdb;
          $args = array(
                'post_parent' => $post_id,
                'post_type'   => 'attachment', 
                'numberposts' => -1,
                'post_status' => 'any' 
        ); 
        $childrens = get_children( $args);
        if($childrens):
            foreach($childrens as $attachment):   
             wp_delete_attachment( $attachment->ID, true ); 
             $wpdb->query("DELETE FROM {$wpdb->postmeta} WHERE post_id = ".$attachment->ID);
             wp_delete_post($attachment->ID,true ); 
            endforeach;

        endif;
}
