Get category from a custom post

Sorry, my query was
query_posts( 'post_type=product&posts_per_page=3&cat=41' );

The one I posted first was an attemp to make it work.

Not sure why query posts acts weird sometimes, try:

query_posts( array (
'category_name' => 'my-category-slug',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'post_type' => 'product'
) );

Nope. Not a thing.

I looked in the wordpress admin page and got this in the URL for the category:
wordpress/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?action=edit&taxonomy=product_category&tag_ID=41&post_type=product

So I tried adding the taxonomy as well. But nothing.

This category that I want to use ONLY belong to the ‘product’ post_type, not to the regular posts!

Can’t you use the category.php file then?

No, this is part of the header and shows only posts of this category.
It’s a section for “important” products.

For secondary loops, use get_posts instead of query_posts:

cool! I’ll be looking at it!

Wohooo!!thanks, this was most helpfull!

$args = array(
	'numberposts' => 4,
	'orderby' => 'post_date',
	'post_type' => 'product', //my type of post
	'taxonomy' => 'product_category', //the regular categories for post_types
	'product_category' => 'destacado', //The name of the regular category
  	'post_status' => 'publish'
);
$destacados = get_posts( $args );
foreach( $destacados as $post ) :
//... My post information here
endforeach;

With this I solved my problem! ??

Hope this can help someone!

I’m closing this post!
