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 = array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'product_cat' => 'category-slug-here',
'post_type' => 'product',
'orderby' => 'title',
);
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
// The Loop
while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
$the_query->the_post();
echo '' . get_the_title() . '<br /><br />';
}
wp_reset_postdata();
This returns data, but I want to pass an ID, not a category slug, to filter and I want to find products that exist in multiple categories **only**.
The argument `product_cat` is not native to `WP_Query` (at least that I can find), so I'm assuming this is something custom to Woocommerce. Through their documentation, I haven't been able to find anything that will allow me to filter by category ID, nor use an AND condition for this filtering.
Using `cat`, the array of `tax_query`, and `category__and` have not yielded any results. Essentially, I would like to query all products that exist in both category ID 102, and 115. If I have to use slugs, I'm sure there is a way around getting that info based on the ID I have, but I'd like to avoid 2 queries to filter by multiple categories.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
**UPDATE:** I have learned that separating category slugs by commas in the `product_cat` argument will produce an "OR" effect, so it will combine distinct products from both, but this is not what I am looking for. So, for example:
'product_cat' => 'category-slug1, category-slug2'
will return products from both categories in total, but I am still searching for a way to find distinct products that ONLY belong to both, or multiple, categories.
