Add Links/Navigation to Let Users Pick and Switch Between Categories

[Greg]

My main events page is at https://solace.com/events
Categories include https://solace.com/events/category/industry-event and https://solace.com/events/category/cloud-native-roadshow

When you’re on one of those category pages, there’s no way to see or select other categories, or “all events.”
The find events function lets them search by keyword or date, but not category.

Ideally there’d be a picklist as part of that filtration/search bar, but I’d be satisfied with the ability to add little nav bar that shows the categories, and people can click to switch categories.

I found the thing where you can add text above and/or below the contents of individual event pages, but it doesn’t apply to the calendar pages.

Thanks in advance,
– Greg

Hello Greg

Unfortunately category switching is reserved for use in the Filter Bar https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-filterbar/.

You could add an All Events link by doing a custom override.

Add this snippet to either your child theme’s functions.php file or use the My Custom Functions plugin:

For additional details on custom overrides, see our Themer’s Guide.

Let me know if that works for you Greg.

Thanks
Courtney 🙂
