Add Categories to Venues

[digitaldrive]

Hi,
Prior to Events Calendar Pro 3.0 I had followed the sample given on this topic to add Categories to my Venues:
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/add-venue-categories-to-menu-bar/#post-41326

This worked with version 2.X
After upgrading to Events Calendar Pro 3.0.1, the categories tags do not appear now.

My goal is to show the option to add ‘Event Categories’ on the ‘Add New Venue’ screen. For example, An Event (a Picnic) belongs to the “Outdoors” Event Category and its Venue (a Park) should also belong to the “Outdoors” Event Category. When people search for “Outdoors” (or in the future use the filter by Category) both Events and Venues are shown..

Any help gladly appreciated!

Hi there,

I’m sorry we haven’t been in touch with a reply here. We’ve been inundated with support requests as more people update to 3.0, so we are a little behind our usual 24-hour window for responses. We do not do support over the weekend, but we will be in touch here with a more substantial reply as soon as possible.

In the meantime, some of these tips might be helpful:
* Double check your Plugin page for updates. We’ve just released our latest maintenance release. As of 7/12, the most current versions are The Events Calendar 3.0.1 and Events Calendar PRO 3.0.2.
* If you’re experiencing a problem with links, try resetting and resaving your permalinks.
* If the issue is with settings, try resaving your settings page- even if you haven’t changed anything.
* Having trouble with a customization done in 2.x? Be sure to check out our Themer’s Guide and documentation.

You might also search the forums to see if someone else has a similar issue and has found a solution. Finally, if the problem you’re experiencing is a serious problem, you may choose to downgrade back to 2.0.11.

Thank you for your patience and support.

Best,
Leah
and the Modern Tribe Support Team

Hi digitaldrive:

If I add that same snippet then I can allocate venues to event categories. Are you unable to do this, or is it that you aren’t seeing the categories on the front end?

Thanks for clarifying!
