Get the id of a WooCommerce product category by its slug
17,750
With a custom taxonomy is recommended to use get_term_by()
instead :
$category = get_term_by( 'slug', $pagename, 'product_cat' );
$cat_id = $category->term_id
Reference: Get category ID from term slug…
To get a product category ID from term name, use:
$category = get_term_by( 'name', $pagename, 'product_cat' );
$cat_id = $category->term_id

I have a wp template that I would like to assign to some pages. The template would ie. display all WooCommerce products that have the same master category name as the pages name itself.
By far I have tried using this code, but with no good output:
$idObj = get_category_by_slug($pagename); $id = $idObj->term_id; echo ": ". $id;
Unfortunately, the echo does not display anything.
Echoing$pagename
works, and returns me the slug of the page.Any good way I could make this work?

Bossman over 3 yearsJust for reference: This is for Wordpress "categories". WooCommerce categories use "product_cat" so you have to use get_term_by()
