How can I check if category have (Default Google product category)?

Hello @zaheer01,

Thank you for reaching out!

I am working on a project where I have to check if the category does not have a (Default Google product category), simply delete that category. But the problem is how can I check programmatically? right now I have category IDs only. Is there any function or hook to check?

I understand you want to delete a category in bulk if the “Default Google product category” is not set for that category. This is actually more related to WordPress core than our plugin.

The “Default Google product category” values are added to the category term as metadata, so you can simply check if the category has one or all of the plugin’s metadata starting with _wc_facebook, if not → delete it.

To check the linked metadata values to each category, you can use a plugin like JSM Show Term Meta.

I trust this guides you in the right direction! Let us know if you have any other questions! :?)

I think that is the perfect solution, so this is the code.

$term_args = array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘product_cat’,
);

$terms = get_terms( $term_args );

$term_ids = array();
foreach( $terms as $term ) {

echo "ID: ".$term->term_id."<br>";
$key = get_term_meta( $term->term_id, '_wc_facebook_google_product_category', true );

echo "Key:".$key."<br>";

}
