Restrict WooCommerce products to specific users. Products remain hidden from all unauthorized users 

== Description ==

**User Exclusive Products** lets you restrict any WooCommerce product to one or multiple users.

If a product is exclusive:
- Only selected users (and administrators) can see it.
- Unauthorized visitors cannot see the product in shop, category, tags, search or AJAX live search.
- Direct access to the product URL redirects to the shop page.
- Fully compatible with modern search engines (including FiboSearch).

Perfect for:
- B2B stores
- VIP customer access
- Private product offers
- Client-specific catalogs
- Wholesale deals

== 🔒 Key Features ==

- Restrict product visibility to **specific users only**
- Admins are always allowed (cannot be restricted)
- Product completely hidden from:
  - Shop
  - Category pages
  - Product tags
  - Search results
  - AJAX / live search
  - REST API product queries
- Lightweight & fast (no bloat)
- No role management required
- Simple multiselect user selector (WooCommerce-style)
 
== 🧩 Compatibility ==

This plugin is built with **standard WooCommerce filters**, making it compatible with most themes.

**Tested and working with:**
- Botiga / Botiga Pro (AJAX search compatible)
- Storefront
- Astra (front-end compatibility may vary)
- FiboSearch (fully supported)

If you use a theme or plugin with custom product queries, it should still work normally as long as they respect WordPress or WooCommerce APIs.

== 🎯 No Roles. No Conditions. No Complexity. ==

This plugin focuses on **one thing only**:
→ Restrict WooCommerce products to selected users.

No roles, no categories, no conditions — clean, simple, reliable.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/user-exclusive-products/`
2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress
3. Edit any WooCommerce product
4. Use the **Exclusive Users** box to select which customers can view the product
5. Leave empty to make the product public

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

Yes. Only logged-in users can be matched with the allowed list.

= What happens if a non-authorized user opens the product URL? =  
They are automatically redirected to the shop page.

= Can I restrict by role? =  
No. This plugin is intentionally simple and only restricts by specific users.

= Can I restrict categories or variations? =  
Not in version 1.0.0. These features may be added later if requested.

= Is it compatible with FiboSearch? =  
Yes, fully compatible. Hidden products never appear in AJAX search results.

= Does it work with all themes? =  
It works with any theme that respects standard WooCommerce queries.  
Some custom-built themes may require compatibility tweaks.

== Screenshots ==

1. Product metabox: Select exclusive users

== Changelog ==

= 1.0.2 =
* Updated: Tested up to WordPress 7.0

= 1.0.1 =
* Improved: Allowed Users field now uses AJAX search (wc-customer-search) instead of a static list, supporting sites with any number of users without performance impact.
* Fixed: Renamed the `AISP_Exclusif_Products_Category_Users` class to `AISP_Exclusive_Products_Category_Users` for consistency across the codebase.
* Fixed: Corrected class name casing from `AISP_exclusive_Products_*` to `AISP_Exclusive_Products_*` across multiple plugin modules.
* Fixed: `AISP_Exclusive_Products_Category_Users` and `AISP_Exclusive_Products_Bulk_Actions` are now initialized only after confirming WooCommerce is active.
* Fixed: Replaced the `rest_prepare_post` hook with `rest_prepare_product` and `rest_prepare_product_variation` to properly support WooCommerce product REST endpoints.
* Fixed: `filter_rest_response()` now returns a proper `WP_Error` with HTTP 401/403 responses instead of `null` when restricted products are requested through the REST API.
* Fixed: Added the `rest_product_query` filter alongside `rest_post_query` to properly intercept WooCommerce REST API product queries.
* Fixed: Added `suppress_filters => true` to internal `get_posts()` calls to prevent recursive filter execution.
* Fixed: Bulk action transient keys are now scoped per user to prevent collisions when multiple administrators use the interface simultaneously.
* Added: Plugin constants for version, path, URL, and basename handling (`AISP_EP_VERSION`, `AISP_EP_PATH`, `AISP_EP_URL`, `AISP_EP_BASENAME`).
* Added: Admin notice displayed when WooCommerce is not active instead of failing silently.
* Added: New `uninstall.php` cleanup routine to remove plugin data, transients, and related cache entries when the plugin is deleted.
