Displaying only events in both categories selected

[Rob]

Hi,

Is there a way to display only the events in two specific categories.

For instance all our events have two categories – and age category and an event category. I want to be able to display all events in Age category 1. Infant and Toddler and in the event category Arts, Culture and Environment.

It seems that all the current filters use an “or” statement not an “and” statement.

Thanks

Rob

Good evening Rob and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

I am guessing you are controlling categories using shortcodes: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/

Our advanced widgets would normally offer you the ability to choose between  Match all and Match any, but our shortcodes do not allow that.

The only downside is that we currently have a bug impacting the Event category filters in our widgets 🙁

But a fix is on the way! Unfortunately, I cannot commit to a release date at this point. But stay tuned, you will be contacted when the fix is released.

Other than that, I guess you would have to create custom filters in the meantime (a bit like the following user did: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/display-only-children-categories-of-a-specific-parent-in-a-custom-filter )

I wish I had a better answer for you, but for now it’s the best one I have.

Hang in there as we fix this bug.

Best regards,

Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
