Adding tags to events (code from FAQs not working)

[Isaac]

Hi, I’m trying to add tags to my events (for Admin interface and front-end), but I just can’t see how… I tried using the piece of code provided in the FAQs for my functions.php file: register_taxonomy_for_object_type(‘tribe_events’, ‘tags’);

However, this doesn’t seem to do any change for me… Is there any other code I could use to enable the use of tags for my events?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

I think it is post_tags or post_tag that you need and not “tags”

Try using:

register_taxonomy_for_object_type(‘tribe_events’, ‘post_tags’);

Hi Henry… This doesn’t seem to work 🙁 What could be the problem, please?

[Henry]

Ah. Maybe try this:

This isn’t working either 🙁 I tried the new code with post_tag or post_tags… Is there another way I could try enabling tags for events please?

[Henry]

It is actually post_tag that you need to use. I did some digging.

I don’t know how else you could do this without hacking the core. Maybe one of the developers (Rob or Jonah) may know a way?

Thanks for the heads up, guys. Let me see what Jonah has to say when he hits the forums this morning. Stay tuned.

Hey Isaac, try throwing it into a function and hooking into the init action like so:

function run_init() {
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag', 'tribe_events');
}
add_action('init','run_init');


[Isaac]

Thanks Jonah! This worked great!! 🙂
