How can I exclude a product_cat from a custom loop

    Hey guys, looking for some help excluding a single category from a custom product loop I’m doing. Essentially I have a called called ‘frames’ with ID ‘2018’. Any products assigned to this category, I wish to exclude within my loop.

    Here’s my arguments:

    $args = array(
    ‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 4,
    ‘orderby’ =>’date’,
    ‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
    ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
    ‘product_cat’ => ‘-frames’
    );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );

    I’m assuming that ‘product_cat’ is a custom parameter created by WooCommerce, and this can be used to specify a category to only get products from. You’ll notice I’m trying to exclude frames, but this doesn’t seem to work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks, james.

    Managed to solve this myself, with the tax_query parameter.

    $args = array(
    ‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
    ‘posts_per_page’ => 4,
    ‘orderby’ =>’date’,
    ‘order’ => ‘DESC’,
    ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
    ‘tax_query’ => array(
    array(
    ‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’,
    ‘field’ => ‘slug’,
    ‘terms’ => ‘frames’
    ‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’
    )
    )
    );
    $loop = new WP_Query( $args );
