Thought Id mention this just incase anyone was unsure!

You could try: <code>print_r($post);</code> to see the entire array to find the right key for product_id. If you just want to print out the category ID in the template you can do this:


$id = get_cat_id('po-campoi');
echo $id;
echo $post->ID;

The $post->ID code may not work for the product ID since I’m not sure how that’s setup. You could try:
print_r($post);
to see the entire array to find the right key for product_id.
