Hi All,
I need to automatically populate one hidden field with the product’s category and a second hidden field with the product’s sub-category. Is this possible and if so how?
Thank you!!
Hi Logan,
You won’t be able to use the embed_post merge tag to perform this action as you’ll need to programmatically pull the categories out of the post and assign them using the ‘hook’ method of Dynamically Populating a Field:
The above article includes an example for populating the ‘post author’ and that’s the methodology you should adopt for grabbing the categories of the post.
You can use either wp_get_post_categories:
or get_the_categories:
Hope that helps!
Hi Jim,
Thank you for your reply. I will look into this.
Kind regards
