Changing Category URL Slug

[Shaun]

This is in reference to a closed forum topic (https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/change-category-taxonomy-url/), but I happened upon the answer and thought I might as well share.

Changing the default “category” slug is similar to renaming a view: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/renaming-views/ The base naming structure will need to remain the same, but you can change the word ‘category’ to something else.

To change “events/category” to “events/new-name-for-category”, the following should be placed in functions.php:

function rename_event_tax_slug( $bases ) {
  if ( isset( $bases['tax'] ) ) $bases['tax'] = [ 'new-name-for-category', 'new-name-for-category' ];
  return $bases;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_events_rewrite_base_slug', 'rename_event_tax_slugs', 20 );

Hope that helps?

Hi Shaun,

Thanks for sharing that. That is awesome!

Note that there are 2 typos in there, for the function name and the filter name is missing an “s”, so this is how it should look:

function rename_event_tax_slugs ( $bases ) {
if ( isset( $bases['tax'] ) ) $bases['tax'] = [ 'new-name-for-category', 'new-name-for-category' ];
return $bases;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_events_rewrite_base_slugs', 'rename_event_tax_slugs', 20 );

Thanks and cheers,
Andras
