Displaying Custom Taxonomy Category Data

    If I use the below, I get my standard category ID by slug.

    <?php
$catId = get_term_by( 'slug', 'test', 'category' );
$catId = $catId->term_id;
print_r($catId)
?>

    But What I need is the ID of my custom taxonomy categories for my custom post_type. How would I do that?

    Custom taxonomy is:
    taxonomy = event-categories
    post_type = event

    Try this: 

    <?php
$catId = get_term_by( 'slug', 'event-cat-slug', 'event-categories' );
$catId = $catId->term_id;
print_r($catId)
?>

    If you need to get the posts in your post type that have a particular Event Category, something like this:

    <?php
$query_args = array(
    'post_type' => 'event',
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'event-categories',
	    'field' => 'slug',
	    'terms' => 'event-cat-slug'
        )
    )
);
$query = new WP_Query( $query_args );
$posts = $query->posts;
?>

    Yeah I tried 

    <?php
$catId = get_term_by( 'slug', 'event-cat-slug', 'event-categories' );
$catId = $catId->term_id;
print_r($catId)
?>

    before and wasn’t able to get it to pull the taxonomy ID. You had the same thought process I did. I can’t seem to figure this out.
