Woocommerce get products

📢🔔📢 Hey tech enthusiasts! 👋👋 Welcome back to another exciting blog post where we dive into the wonderful world of WooCommerce! 🛒💻 Today, we tackle a common question that many developers face when working with WooCommerce: "How do I get the list of products for a particular category?" 🤔

🧐💭 Let's start by looking at the code snippet that was provided:

<?php
$taxonomy     = 'product_cat';
$orderby      = 'name';  
$show_count   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
$pad_counts   = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no
$hierarchical = 0;      // 1 for yes, 0 for no  
$title        = '';  
$empty        = 0;
$args = array(
  'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
  'orderby'      => $orderby,
  'show_count'   => $show_count,
  'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
  'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
  'title_li'     => $title,
  'hide_empty'   => $empty
);
?>
<?php $all_categories = get_categories( $args );

foreach ($all_categories as $cat) {
    if($cat->category_parent == 0) {
        $category_id = $cat->term_id;
?>     
    <?php       
        echo '<br /><a href="'. get_term_link($cat->slug, 'product_cat') .'">'. $cat->name .'</a>'; ?>
    <?php
        $args2 = array(
          'taxonomy'     => $taxonomy,
          'child_of'     => 0,
          'parent'       => $category_id,
          'orderby'      => $orderby,
          'show_count'   => $show_count,
          'pad_counts'   => $pad_counts,
          'hierarchical' => $hierarchical,
          'title_li'     => $title,
          'hide_empty'   => $empty
        );
        $sub_cats = get_categories( $args2 );
        if($sub_cats) {
            foreach($sub_cats as $sub_category) {
                echo  $sub_category->name ;
            }
        }
    }     
}
?>

👀📝 As you can see, this code snippet successfully retrieves the list of product categories in WooCommerce. However, the challenge arises when trying to get a list of products for a specific category. 😓

🎯💡 To achieve this, we need to leverage the power of WooCommerce's built-in functions. Let's take a look at how we can modify the existing code to get the desired result. 🚀

👉🧰 Here's an example of how you can retrieve all the products for a specific category, using cat_id=34 as an example:

$category_id = 34; // Replace with the desired category ID

$args = array(
    'post_type'      => 'product',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
    'tax_query'      => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
            'field'    => 'term_id',
            'terms'    => $category_id,
        ),
    ),
);

$products = new WP_Query( $args );

if ( $products->have_posts() ) {
    while ( $products->have_posts() ) {
        $products->the_post();
        
        echo '<h3>' . get_the_title() . '</h3>';
        echo '<p>' . get_the_content() . '</p>';
    }
    wp_reset_postdata();
} else {
    echo 'No products found in the specified category.';
}

✨🚀 And just like that, we have the solution to our problem! By utilizing the WP_Query class and the tax_query parameter, we can easily retrieve all the products assigned to a specific category. 🙌🔍

🔊📣 Now, it's your turn to try it out! Replace the category_id variable with the desired category ID and watch the magic happen! You'll be amazed at how simple and efficient it is to get the list of products for a particular category in WooCommerce. 💪💻
