I have a custom field to select a category (custom taxonomy) and then I will display a list of all of its child-categories. This works fine when I return the custom field as "term_id."
HOWEVER. I would like to also get the slug from this selected category (the parent) so I can link to its category page (I don't think I can link to it with the ID). So I thought maybe I should return the custom field as an object instead. This is what it dumps:
stdClass Object ( [term_id] => 122 [name] => Quick Release Watch Bands [slug] => fits-all [term_group] => 0 [avhec_term_order] => 0 [term_taxonomy_id] => 122 [taxonomy] => product_cat [description] => Watch bands in many colors [parent] => 0 [count] => 293 [meta_id] => 1 [woocommerce_term_id] => 122 [meta_key] => order [meta_value] => 22 )
Do you know how I can pull out both the ID (122) and the slug (fits-all) from this? Here is my code so far. The custom field is called "selected_category".
<?php $catid = get_sub_field('selected_category');
$args = array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'orderby' => 'name',
'show_count' => 0,
'pad_counts' => 0,
'hierarchical' => 1,
'title_li' => '',
'depth' => 1,
'child_of' => $catid
);
?>
<h4><a href="URL.COM/NEED-CATEGORY SLUG"><?php the_sub_field('title'); ?></a></h4>
<ul class="subcats">
<?php wp_list_categories( $args ); ?>
</ul>
Can anyone help me, please? Thank you so much!
