Okay thanks, I got the filter where I want it but it’s not filtering products in the loop for me.

Do you guys have email I can send your credentials to so i don’t have to send over forum? [email protected]?

@hibitco Thanks for your reply. Can you show me how you got it to work on your end but with my loop?

For anyone curious, this works well for me:

// Setup your custom query
$args = array( 
	'post_type' => 'product', 
	
);
$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
	<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); // Remember to reset ?>

Thanks @shabti,
I removed global $post; and now it partly works on the backend. It creates a new category but doesn’t actually add the product to the category. So I’m wondering if transition_post_status is the right action to hook to?

function add_this_to_new_products( $new_status, $old_status, $post ) {
 
    if ( $post->post_type !== 'product' ) return;
 
    if ( 'publish' !== $new_status or 'publish' === $old_status ) return;
 
    $user = wp_get_current_user();

    $categoryid = get_field('category_id', 'user_'.$user->ID );

    if($categoryid){
       //add the category here
       wp_set_object_terms( $post->ID, $categoryid, 'product_cat', true );
    }
 
}
 
add_action( 'transition_post_status', 'add_this_to_new_products', 10, 3 );
