Thanks!

How are we able to do $featured_products->total when clearly wc_get_products returns an array?

ah, yes. I forgot to pass the paginate property.

Thx for the snippet.

To avoid the PHP Notice,
array_shift(explode(‘ ‘, $ordering[‘orderby’]));
you can change it to
@reset(explode(' ', $ordering['orderby']));

price filter will not work if use this

@honeyamin ok thanks for letting us all know

Use WC_Product_Query if you want everything to work.
