Exclude one Category from the Widgets

[Bob]

First, yes, I searched and found some other similar posts, so I’m guessing the short answer is, “we don’t support that yet, we might in the future”.

But in the meantime, I’m looking for a pointer to API things I might do to address this. I looked through the documentation and tried a few things in my own copy of the mini-calendar grid and list widgets, but I’m no WordPress expert, and I never found the correct calls/settings.

Hi Doug,

I’m afraid this is very much the domain of custom development. Modifying the query to exclude specific categories, or else testing at the point of generating widget output (in a template override for instance) to see if an event belongs to a “banned” category and deciding to skip it are two possible approaches here.

The details would need to be worked out by you though. If it helps, we can provide you with a list of experienced freelancers who may be able to assist?

Not even any hints from your developers on which API calls to work with? Pretty please?

Hi Doug: a good starting point would be our Themer’s Guide – you might be interested in overriding widgets/mini-calendar-widget.php for this one and the tribe_show_month() arguments (closely bound to WP_Query in terms of what it accepts) in particular.

There are few different possible angles of attack for this though and we’ll leave it to you to determine the best path in your case.

Hope that helps – I’ll go ahead and close this thread now 🙂
