Use tags and categories in same shortcode

Hello again Sebastien,
I think I might have got it!

I’ve added the following to ‘// Get attributes’
‘category’ => ”,

and this to ‘// Default ordering args’
‘product_cat’ => $atts[‘category’],

The following shortcode seems to be working!
[product_tag tags=”back-issue” category=”other-publishers” per_page=”-1″ columns=”5″ orderby=”sku” order=”asc”]

If you think this might in any way break things, please let me know!

Kind regards,
JP

Hi @anpeaf,
I’m actually not using this anymore as it hasn’t been updated for ages.
Not sure if it’ll still work with the latest Woocommerce, but here’s what I did.

Go to your plugins folder either through cPanel file manager or via a ftp program such as filezilla and open the file named ss-wc-display-product-tags.php in the woocommerce-display-products-by-tags folder.

Once there add “‘category’ => ”,” to the get attributes section starting on line 41, so it looks like this:

// Get attribuets
$atts = shortcode_atts( array(
	'per_page' => '12',
	'columns'  => '4',
	'orderby'  => 'title',
	'order'    => 'desc',
        'category' => '',
	'tags'     => '',  // Slugs
	'operator' => 'IN' // Possible values are 'IN', 'NOT IN', 'AND'.
), $atts );

and add “‘product_cat’ => $atts[‘category’],” to the default ordering args section starting on line 55, so it looks like this:

// Default ordering args
	$ordering_args = $woocommerce->query->get_catalog_ordering_args( $atts['orderby'], $atts['order'] );
	$meta_query    = $woocommerce->query->get_meta_query();

$args = array(
	'post_type'				=> 'product',
        'product_cat' => $atts['category'],
	'post_status' 			=> 'publish',
	'ignore_sticky_posts'	=> 1,
	'orderby' 				=> $ordering_args['orderby'],
	'order' 				=> $ordering_args['order'],
	'posts_per_page' 		=> $atts['per_page'],
	'meta_query' 			=> $meta_query,
	'tax_query' 			=> array(
			array(
				'taxonomy' 		=> 'product_tag',
				'terms' 		=> array_map( 'sanitize_title', explode( ',', $atts['tags'] ) ),
				'field' 		=> 'slug',
				'operator' 		=> $atts['operator']
			)
		)
	);

I’m really not sure this will work with Woocommerce anymore as version 3.3+ has had some substantial change made to it… however there’s always hope 🙂

Best of luck!

Kind regards,
JP
