WP_Query Woocommerce products that belong in distinct multiple categories only tax_query

Question

I\'m using WP_Query for Woocommerce products in attempt to query products in a particular category. This is the syntax that worked for me -

$args =         


        

Answer 1

Wow, so after hours of banging my head, this is how I was able to solve this -

$args = array(
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'tax_query' => array(
        'relation' => 'AND',
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'category-slug1'
        ),
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => 'category-slug2'
        )
    ),
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'orderby' => 'title',
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

This takes advantage of the tax_query argument, including the relation => 'AND' to make sure the product falls under BOTH categories.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

I was also not able to figure out how to pass an ID, rather than a slug (although I'm sure there's a way), but here's the function to retrieve the slug based on an ID:

$terms = get_term($YOURID, 'product_cat'); 
$theslug = $terms->slug;
