Woocommerce get current Product category Name or Slug

Question

I'm trying to get the current category name/slug of a product.

let me explain, I have a product that is in 3 Different categories like this: Beds(Main Category)->Firm Bed(Sub Category)->Single Bed(Sub Sub Category). Currently, woocommerce will get related products from all 3 Categories. But I would like to get only from the Category the product is in like Single Bed.

Now I have tried the following: Woocommerce: Get current product category and how to get current product category name in woocommerce

the following website also helped. https://njengah.com/get-current-product-category/

by current code looks like this:

    add_action('wp_head', 'get_current_product_category');

function get_current_product_category(){
global $post;
if ( is_single() && 'product' === get_post_type( $post ) ) {
        $product_categories = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' );

        if ( ! empty( $product_categories ) && ! is_wp_error( $product_categories ) ) {
            foreach ( $product_categories as $category ) {
                echo 'Category ID: ' . $category->term_id . '<br>';
                echo 'Category Name: ' . $category->name . '<br>';
            }
        }
    }

}

this works but brings up all the categories and nut the last once the product is for example Single beds.

using the latest woocommerce and WordPress versions.

Try using this woocommerce_related_products hook and you can remove the parent category from sub category.

function custom_related_products_query( $args ) {
    global $post, $product;

    // Get the product categories for the current product
    $product_categories = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat', array( 'fields' => 'ids' ) );

    // Get only the sub-categories (sub-sub-categories) of the current product
    $sub_categories = array();
    foreach ( $product_categories as $category_id ) {
        $category = get_term( $category_id, 'product_cat' );
        if ( $category->parent != 0 ) {
            $sub_categories[] = $category_id;
        }
    }

    // Include only products from the sub-categories
    $args['product_cat'] = $sub_categories;

    return $args;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_related_products', 'custom_related_products_query' );

Hope this helps!
