Loop through categories and create tab for each Wordpress and Bootstrap 3

Question

I'm trying to create a page that holds all categories of my custom post type as tabs, with a tab content.

I am able to display all the category names as tabs, but i need to run a query in each tab content area to the corresponding category.

So when I click on tab named "1" the tab content area should only show posts from the category belonging to the tab named "1".

My code so far:

 <?php
   echo '<ul class="nav nav-tabs" role="tablist">';

$args = array(
'hide_empty'=> 1,
'orderby' => 'name',
'order' => 'ASC'
 );

$categories = get_categories($args);

 foreach($categories as $category) { 

echo '<li><a href="#' . $category->name.'" role="tab" data-toggle="tab">' .      
$category->name.'</a></li>';
$cat_name = $category->name;

} 
echo '</ul>';
echo '<div class="tab-content">';
  foreach($categories as $category) { 
    echo '<div class="tab-pane" id="' . $category->name.'">';


    ?>

<?php 

 $the_query = new WP_Query(array(
  'post_type' => 'acme_product',
  'posts_per_page' => 100,
  'category_name' => $cat_name
    )); 
 while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : 
 $the_query->the_post();
 ?>

        <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

               <?php 
endwhile; 

 ?>   


  <?php } 
echo '</div>';
 ?>

The problems is that each content area displays all post of every category.

What i want to achieve: Link

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

'category_name' parameter takes value as category slug. So you should use category slug in place of category name in the query.

$cat_slug = $category->slug;

$the_query = new WP_Query(array(
             'post_type' => 'acme_product',
             'posts_per_page' => 100,
             'category_name' => $cat_slug
));
