If you’re running a WooCommerce store, it’s important to have a clear understanding of how to get the product category. After all, this is one of the key ways that you can keep your products organized and ensure that customers can easily find what they’re looking for.
There are a few different ways that you can get the product category in WooCommerce. The first is to simply go to the Products page in your WordPress Dashboard and hover over a product. When you do this, you’ll see the product’s category listed in the tooltip.
Alternatively, you can click on a product to edit it and then look in the Product Data section for the product categories metabox. Here, you’ll see a list of all the categories that the product is assigned to. You can also add new categories from here if needed.
Finally, if you need to programmatically get the product category in WooCommerce, you can use the wp_get_object_terms function. This accepts three parameters: the ID of the object (in this case, the product ID), the taxonomy (product_cat), and any additional arguments (such as whether to return only parent categories).
So there you have it! Three different ways that you can get the product category in WooCommerce. Whichever method you choose, just be sure that you understand how it works so that you can keep your products organized and make it easy for customers to find what they’re looking for.
