Hi updatediva,
I’m not sure that you want your link structure to look like ?cat=(id-spring)+(id-candles). Instead I’d look into writing a custom loop. You can see the basic loop here:
http://docs.woothemes.com/document/sample-products-loop/
What happens if you do http://example.com/product-category/term1+term2/ ?
Not sure if that resolves in WooCommerce or not. You may need to register a new rewrite rule if it won’t handle it out of the box.
WordPress does a good job of handling ‘,’ (or) and ‘+’ (and) operators when parsing query strings so that may work.
Thanks for replying.
It looks like I’m into creating a custom shortcode using a custom loop like you suggested. Does it make sense to change:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 12
);
to:
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'product',
'posts_per_page' => 12,
'tax_query' => array(
'relation' => 'AND',
array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'category-slug1' /* first category I'm looking for
),
array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => 'category-slug2' /* second category
)
),
'orderby' => 'title',
);
I’ve never created a shortcode before, but I’d copy class-wc-shorcodes.php to my child theme, add a new function called product_2categories (shortcode name), and regsiter it.
Am I on the right track?
Unfortunately /?cat=”something+somethingelse” resolves really well in straight WordPress but not WooCommerce using product_cat and product_tag. You can do /?product_cat=”something” or /?product_tag=”something” but it can’t seem to handle operators.
