Magento 2 - How can I change product visibility value using plugin afterSave or beforeSave method?

Question

I have created a plugin and I want to change product visibility value on product save but it's not working.

ProductAfterSave.php

namespace Vendor\Module\Plugin;

class ProductAfterSave {

    public function afterSave(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $subject, $product)
    {
        $productModel = $this->objectManager->create('Magento\Catalog\Model\Product\Action');
        $productModel->setVisiblity(2);
        $productModel->save();

        return $product;
    }
} 

Can anyone please help me, Thanks.

Answer 1

You should use a before plugin like the below: I used the constante Visibility::VISIBILITY_IN_CATALOG for visibility but of course you can use the value 2.

If you are in trouble, I'll put my code online for you to check out a ful working version. good luck

class ProductBeforeSave {

    public function beforeBeforeSave(\Magento\Catalog\Model\Product $product)
    {
        $product->setVisibility(Visibility::VISIBILITY_IN_CATALOG);
    }
}
