You can use this custom snippet to sync your ticket’s Event Category with the WooCommerce Product category.
Plugins
- The Events Calendar
- Event Tickets Plus
- WooCommerce
Usage
You just need to have the same categories under Event Categories and Product Categories with the same slug to make this snippet work.
So, if you have an event with a category of slug online-events and you have a Product category created with the same slug online-events then once you create a Ticket for that event that ticket product will get the same product category automatically.
This will work the same way for syncing tags.
