category = first word from the parameter

And I want to ask another question in the same topic: how Do I make sure that products are not added if their category is not represented on my site?

Hi @ilyapokrov,

How can I do this? In other words, add a category to my product based on the first word from <description>.

You can do that with a custom PHP function ( https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/custom-code/inline-php/ ). Example function:

function my_get_cat( $description ) {
	$description = explode( ' ', $description );
	return reset( $description );
}

how Do I make sure that products are not added if their category is not represented on my site?

You would have to write custom code and use our API to do that. Here’s the hook you’d use: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/advanced/action-reference/#wp_all_import_is_post_to_create. Unfortunately, I don’t have an example snippet for this specific use case.

@wpallimport,

I added the script you suggested:

function my_get_cat( $description ) {
	$description = explode( ' ', $description );
	return reset( $description );
}

And specified the following entry in the category input:
[my_get_cat({description[1]})]

It works. Thank you very much!
