Use dynamic queries with Oxygen's repeater

oxygen-repeater-dynamic-query.php

/* I'll put here different examples of dynamic query for Oxygen repeater :
 * - Use one of the following repeater_dynamic_query definitions
 *   in code block just BEFORE the repeater
 * - Set the repeater custom query settings : post type, number of posts, order...
 * - Add the remove_action in a code block AFTER the repeater
 */


/****************************************************************************************************
 * Display related posts for any CPT with taxonomy:
 * - Filter query to prevent altering queries inside the repeater items,
 * - Retrieve post category slug : I have only one for each post, so I just take first element
 *   (You might need to add error tests, of course, if you don't accept empty results,
 *    for instance if you forgot to set post category.)
 * - Set tax_query arg with category slug
 * - Set random order
 * - Exclude current post
 * - Deactivate pagination

Hey guys, any tips would be appreciate on this please.

When using pre_get_posts action hook inside oxygen repeater (any custom query):

when updating $query->set('something', 'value'), it does not update his object property $this->found_posts.

This is a really strange behavior....or i missing something ...

  function my_pre_get_post($query){
    ...
    $query->set('somefilter', 'value');
    $query->found_posts // 0 why is that? There is post showing up on the front end
    ...
}

Hello everyone, how can I display all my product categories on the shop archive page with a repeater? Thank you in advance!
