{Name (First):7.3} requested the  following code from my WordPress AI Code Generator.

For a woocommerce shop, I need a function to put a list of some hundred articles from published to trash. The function should work with the sku number, not the woocommerce product ID.

The robot generated the following code:

You can create a custom function in WordPress for moving published articles to the trash by SKU, which must be triggered.

First, you will need the list of SKUs to be trashed. Then, you will use `wc_get_product_id_by_sku()` to get the product ID, and `wp_trash_post()` to trash the product. Bear in mind that this operation is irreversible if the trashed posts are then removed.

Here's a basic code snippet for the function. Please replace `NM_SKU_TO_TRASH` with your actual SKUs. Note this code should be added in your active theme's functions.php file.

“`php
function nm_move_products_to_trash_by_sku() {
// list of SKU's to be trashed
$NM_SKU_TO_TRASH = array('SKU1', 'SKU2', 'SKU3');

foreach($NM_SKU_TO_TRASH as $sku) {
$product_id = wc_get_product_id_by_sku($sku);

if ($product_id) {
// move product to trash
wp_trash_post($product_id);
}
}
}

// Call the function
nm_move_products_to_trash_by_sku();
“`

Note: Please keep in mind this is a basic example and might not cover specific needs or problems such as execution time due to a large amount of SKUs or server restrictions.
