using in_array for OR

    Hi there, first off, great plugin! This is changing the way I work with Elementor!

    My challenge: I need to show/hide an element based on one or more Product Categories. I can do this successfully for one category when using the condition: Contains. For example:

    Dynamic Tag: Product Terms > Category
    Condition: Contains
    Condition value: “Venues”
    = TRUE

    However, I need the condition to be met when the product belongs to other categories also. E.g., Venues OR Transport

    I have tried the Condition: In array, however, this doesn’t seem to work. For example, on the same item as above:

    Dynamic Tag: Product Terms > Category
    Condition: In array
    Condition value: “Venues”
    = FALSE (which seems strange)

    I would really like to be able to do this:

    Dynamic Tag: Product Terms > Category
    Condition: In array
    Condition value: “Venues, Transport”
    = TRUE (only if the product belongs to Venues OR Transport category)

    Does that make sense? Is this how In array should work?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hey @jman057

    we maybe found a solution for you. But it depends on one thing! Every product can have only 1 category to get work (or you have to add the pairs too). We tested it on post categories, should be the same as product categories.

    You dd nearly everything right, but if you enable the Debug-Mode, you will see, elementor will wrap the category with a span element. So have to add the Conditional value with the tag: <span>Venues</span>, <span>Transport</span>.

    Because of the full matching it only works when there is not more than 1 category or you have to add the pairs too like: <span>Venues</span>, <span>Transport</span>, <span>Venues</span><span>Transport</span>, <span>Transport</span><span>Venues</span>. (important: remove the “,” Seperator in the Product Term!)

    Would be nice if you can report us if it worked. Thank you.

    Hi, thanks for your reply, and apologies for taking a while to respond (I missed the notification).

    I’ve given this a try but it seems to still not quite work. I’ve used the debug mode and copy-pasted the comparison string including the wrapping a tag.

    By using the debug-mode, and testing with a single category, I am generating the following debug info which shows that the condition is not being met.

    (Settings = Show when condition met, In array, Text)

    Thanks in advance!

    Element:section-f139786 (section)
DynamicTag-Tag:woocommerce-product-terms-tag
DynamicTag-Key:
DynamicTag-Value:Categories: <a href="https://woocommerce-207249-1003603.cloudwaysapps.com/product-category/professionals/venues/" rel="tag">Venues</a>
Check-Value:<a href="https://woocommerce-207249-1003603.cloudwaysapps.com/product-category/professionals/venues/" rel="tag">Venues</a>
Check-Value2:
Condition-Type:default
Condition:Show if in_array
Condition met:no
