// Display the "New Arrival" tag on the shop page for products published in the last 5 days
add_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'ts_shop_page_new_tag', 10);

function ts_shop_page_new_tag() {
    global $product;

    // Get the current date
    $current_date = current_time('mysql');

    // Calculate the date from 5 days ago
    $five_days_ago = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-5 days', strtotime($current_date)));

    // Check if the product was published in the last 5 days
    if (strtotime(get_the_date('Y-m-d', $product->get_id())) >= strtotime($five_days_ago)) {
        echo '<span class="limited"><strong>' . __( 'New Arrival', 'woocommerce' ) . '</strong></span>';
        
        // Add the product with ID 470 as FREE to the cart
        $free_product_id = 470;

        // Check if the free product is not already in the cart
        if (!WC()->cart->find_product_in_cart($free_product_id)) {
            // Add the free product to the cart with a quantity of 1
            WC()->cart->add_to_cart($free_product_id, 1);
        }
    }
}
