Event Category Description

[Emma Houghton]

I would like to display the description on the event category page – It automatically pulls in the title and the calendar items within this category but not the description – I’ve optimised the category with the Yoast plugin but need this info to be displayed on the page.

Or is there a shortcode I can use to pull in the Event Category on a Page?

Any advice would be greatfully received.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins. I can help out here, but I am limited in supporting customizations.

There was a similar request a couple months back.

Does the solution presented in this thread work for you:

Display Category Description on Event Category Page

Cheers

Thank you for your prompt response – I don’t have a folder within my theme called ‘/tribe-events/list/content.php’ – Do I need to create one?

[Brian]

Yep, will want to create it by creating a copy of this file:

plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/list/content.php

We have more information on editing our template system here:

I figured it out and it works!!

Thank you so much!

I am glad to see you were able to figure it out.

I am going to go ahead and close this ticket. If you have a similar issue or another in the future, please do not hesitate to create a new ticket.

Thanks!
