Exclude categories from calendar widget?

[Torstein]

Hi, is there any way to limit the calendar widget to certain categories?

PS: I have tried searching, but google gives a lot of really strange results from your site: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Atri.be+exclude+category+from+calendar+widget, and there seems to be some results I cant find when I use your search function

Hi Torstein,

Unfortunately this won’t be too easy at the moment. To do it you’d need to modify /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/table-mini.php by placing a copy in an ‘events’ folder in your theme and then changing the query to use WP_Query instead of tribe_get_events() so you can use tax_query args and limit the categories. This is likely going to have impacts to the rest of the code in the file and this is where it gets tricky.

We are working on some changes to allow for more flexibility in our queries but this probably won’t be out until 2.1 which will be a couple/few months.

I hope that helps!

hmmmm… I was afraid so :/

Well, a suggestion then: add some options like including/excluding categories and such to the calendar widget, it seems like other people also have asked for things like this earlier 🙂

Thanks Jonah 🙂

Hi Torstein,

I’ve gone ahead and added this as a feature request for 2.1. No guarantees it will make it in then but we’ve got it on our map.

Regards,
