How to determine that we are currently displaying the "default category"?

Question

WordPress

There is WP, WC is installed on it, and of course there is a product category marked as the default category. How do we determine when displaying the `archive-product.php` template that we are currently going to display this particular category? This is necessary in order not to print certain text in the default category, which is printed in all other categories.

Answer 1

The default category is stored in the "default_product_cat" option. Here is an example of how you can use validation

$default_category_id = get_option( 'default_product_cat', 0 );

if ( is_tax( 'product_cat', $default_category_id ) ) {
  echo 'Default Category!';
}
