WooCommerce - get category for product page
For my WC product pages, I need to add a class to the body tag so that I can perform some custom styling. Here's the function I'm creating for this...
function my_add_woo_cat_class($classes) {
$wooCatIdForThisProduct = "?????"; //help!
// add 'class-name' to the $classes array
$classes[] = 'my-woo-cat-id-' . $wooCatIdForThisProduct;
// return the $classes array
return $classes;
}
//If we're showing a WC product page
if (is_product()) {
// Add specific CSS class by filter
add_filter('body_class','my_add_woo_cat_class');
}
...but how do I get the WooCommerce cat ID?
Solution 1:
A WC product may belong to none, one or more WC categories. Supposing you just want to get one WC category id.
global $post;
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );
foreach ($terms as $term) {
$product_cat_id = $term->term_id;
break;
}
Please look into the meta.php file in the "templates/single-product/" folder of the WooCommerce plugin.
<?php echo $product->get_categories( ', ', '<span class="posted_in">' . _n( 'Category:', 'Categories:', sizeof( get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' ) ), 'woocommerce' ) . ' ', '.</span>' ); ?>
Solution 2:
$product->get_categories()
is deprecated since version 3.0! Use wc_get_product_category_list
instead.

Solution 3:
I literally striped out this line of code from content-single-popup.php located in woocommerce folder in my theme directory.
global $product;
echo $product->get_categories( ', ', ' ' . _n( ' ', ' ', $cat_count, 'woocommerce' ) . ' ', ' ' );
Since my theme that I am working on has integrated woocommerce in it, this was my solution.
