Event Custom Post Types

[mkrasmussen]

I am trying to display my upcoming events in a special widget on home page. The theme has its own widgets for the home page and I cannot see The Events Calendar Widgets in this area.

It does have a field in the widgets it does offer for custom post types. Do events in Event Calendar have a custom post type? Do event categories?

Hi,

I can help you out here.

The Events are a Custom Post Type, along with Venues, and Organizers. Here is all the different types:

Events: tribe_events
Venues: tribe_venue
Organizers: tribe_organizer
Event Categories: tribe_events_cat

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

Thank you. A follow-up question – how would I reference a specific category?

[Brian]

Not sure in what context you are referencing categories, but…

WordPress has a bunch of functions or queries to use:

I am going to close this topic as we typically close threads if there is no activity after two weeks. Feel free to create a new thread and reference this one to save you time.

Thanks
