Display upcoming events on an external WordPress site – follow up question

[A K]

Regarding my earlier post

Display upcoming events on an external WordPress site

I have followed the iCal import suggestion for the new site. But I’m not clear on how to set the refine filters to get the desired result.

I want to continuously display all future events of a particular category or tag. But the refine filter search results seems to only offer events of a particular date for import.

Please advise.

Hey A K,

Thanks for following up with us here! I’d be happy to help get you pointed in the right direction for this one.

To start, you’ll need to do a little customization to the sites where the events are coming from – the site that does NOT have the iCal importer installed on it.

What you’ll need to do is add a function to the functions.php file within the child theme activated for that site. This function will allow for you to add a variable in addition to the “?ical=1” to the query string for setting the category on the URL that is added to the import settings on the site receiving the events.

Take a look at the snippet here https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/pull-feed-from-event-category-from-one-site-to-another-site/#dl_post-1135922

This should be what you’re looking for and what would need to be added to the source site functions.php file.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!
