Hi! There is a wordpress installation with woocommerce. Each page like, for example, product category page, consists of several templates, combined together. For example, after the header, i have “afterheader” template, where i want to show something, depending on product category id.

To achive this i use get_the_ID() function in this template. But it returns the id of template, not id of the product category page. Which function i can use to detect the id of whole page in the template or which approach?

get_the_ID() is a WordPress function.

You should be using the WooCommerce plugin’s functions to retrieve the plugin’s information.

Please see: https://woocommerce.github.io/code-reference/classes/WC-Product.html#method_get_category_ids

And if you need further help with this, kindly post in the WooCommerce plugin’s own support forum, so the plugin’s developers and user community can help you: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/

Good luck!

Hi, George, and thanks for your reply.

I tried get_category_ids(), but it does not work from a template….
