Question about WooCommerce sidebar widget

    Hi,
    We are using the WooCommerce sidebar widget.
    In that widget I have placed three custom made buttons.
    So these buttons now show up on all the product pages, no matter what the product category is.

    My question is: is it possible to show different content in the widget, depending on the category of the product that is currently viewed?

    Thanks Mike, it looks like the thing I need.
    I took a look at the list of possible codes, but I don’t see anything that includes WooCommerce. How can I ‘call’ the widget to appear only on a product page that’s within a certain product category of WooCommerce?

    Thanks Mike! That was a good website.
    I think I found the code I need:
    is_product_category( array( 'cursussen', 'reizen' ) )
    But now the widget isn’t showing at all on any page.
    How can I figure out if my theme is interfering?

    Does just is_product_category() work?

    no ??

    I guess the question is then, are you using it on a category page. Where is this happening?

    For example on this page:
    https://bit.ly/1U2Od2m

    In the right sidebar there’s two widgets now.
    There should be a third one with three buttons in it.
    At that widget I added the logic
    is_product_category()
    The category of this product is ‘Reizen’

    This is a product, not a category.

    Correct, it is a product page, but the product is in a certain product-category.
    We have three categories and that one widget should only be visible on the productpages of the products in two of those three categories.

    It’s in the category, but its not is_product_category. Use the has_term function.

    Thank you Mike.

    I’ve tried
    has_term( 'reis')
    because ‘reis’ is in the tags.
    I’ve also tried
    has_term( 'reizen') and has_term( 'Reizen')
    because that’s the name of the productcategory (didn’t know if it was case sensitive, so I tried both), but unfortunately, neither of those is working.
    I had a look at the website you gave me and I also tried has_tag, and in_category but neither of those worked either.

    Can you help me out?
    I’d really like this to work, cause it sounds just like the thing I need.

    taxonomy is required.

    So it would be:

    has_term( 'reis', 'product_cat' )

    reis would be the slug.

    I’m sorry, it didn’t work.
    I tried
    has_term( 'reis', 'product_cat' )
    has_term( 'Reizen', 'product_cat' )
    has_term( 'reizen', 'product_cat' )

    but neither did the trick.

    Just to be clear, when you edit a category, is the slug reizen or something else? Not the name,
