Hi! I really doubt my form export will be useful for this case (you need the Woocommerce structure as well), but, anyway, here you go:

As I said, you should probably need the WooCommerce structure to check your code snippet to include certain product categories works. I don’t think this code…

add_filter( 'forminator_field_postdata_category_list', function( $categories ){
	$only_cat_ids = [
		123,
		456
	];
		foreach( $categories as $id => $cat ){
			if( ! in_array( $cat->term_id, $only_cat_ids ) ){
				unset( $categories[ $id ] );
			}
		}
	return $categories;
} );

…is valid for product categories, just for regular post categories. If that is the case, which one would be the right syntax? Thank you!

Hi @codimex

By default, Forminator can cover only default post categories. As for WooCommerce, it could be too complex. However, I pinged our SLS Team to review your query and see if we can help in this matter. We will post an update here as soon as more information is available.

Hi again @codimex

For woocomerce product category we have to just change the taxonomy name in the filter from?category?to?product_cat
Please try following snippet:

add_filter( 'forminator_field_postdata_product_cat_list', function( $categories ){
	$only_cat_ids = [
		117,
	];
		foreach( $categories as $id => $cat ){
			if( ! in_array( $cat->term_id, $only_cat_ids ) ){
				unset( $categories[ $id ] );
			}
		}
	return $categories;
} );

Only need now is to change?117?to your product category ID.

Kind Regards,
Kris

You guys really rock! The snippet works as magic! I suspected product_cat should be involved somewhere around, but couldn’t find exactly where. Thank you so much, Kris!!! Marking as happily resolved!

Hi @codimex

Thanks for confirming the snippet provided by Kris worked just fine. If you need help with another request please feel free to open a new ticket. The team will be glad to provide further assistance.

Kind regards
