How to display only the child category of a product?

patrick

I used this code to try and display the child category of products

global $post, $product;
$cat_count = sizeof( get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'product_cat' ) );
?>

<h1 itemprop="name" class="product_title entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
<h3 itemprop="name" class="product_title entry-title">by <?php echo $product->get_categories(); ?></h3>

Now, this code is giving both the parent and child category separated by a comma. Can you suggest a simpler way to just display the child category and not the parent category?

This code will work your to display only the child category of a product

// get all product cats for the current post
$categories = get_the_terms( get_the_ID(), 'product_cat' ); 

// wrapper to hide any errors from top level categories or products without category
if ( $categories && ! is_wp_error( $category ) ) : 

    // loop through each cat
    foreach($categories as $category) :
      // get the children (if any) of the current cat
      $children = get_categories( array ('taxonomy' => 'product_cat', 'parent' => $category->term_id ));

      if ( count($children) == 0 ) {
          // if no children, then echo the category name.
          echo $category->name;
      }
    endforeach;

endif;
