How to query custom posts using a dynamic category

by

I’m not sure if this is possible.. I need help as I am probably asking the wrong questions in Google.

What I need to do is:

Pull CPT ‘team’ to a CPT ‘location’ template (I can do this part)

However, each ‘location’ will have a different team, I realise that I can’t code in the category ‘Bristol’ in the query because then my post template will only show ‘Bristol’ ‘Team’

I need it to be user friendly in the CMS as there might be new locations and teams to add.

Any help in the right direction will be much appreciated.

If it is a category page, you can get the id of the current category by using get_category:

 $category = get_category( get_query_var( 'cat' ) );
 $cat_id = $category->cat_ID;

EDIT: You could use the variable $cat_id inside your query instead of ‘Bristol’ and it would pull the correct category for each page.
