Facebook events not imported to a category in Events Calendar

[Constantino Thamnopoulos]

Hello there,

I did a bit of research as I need to import our Facebook events to a specific category of events calendar.
I have tried a series of code buy nothing seems to work, probably because Im not experienced on PHP.

I need your help guys to make this functionality to work. Can you explain me “dummy” style how I can
import all my facebook events to a specific category?

Hello and welcome back,

Try adding the following snippet to the bottom of your theme’s functions.php file and let me know how it goes.

/**
* The Events Calendar Facebook Events - Add Category to Imported Events
* change Facebook Event to the name of the event category
* @Version 4.0
*/
add_action( 'tribe_events_facebook_event_created', 'tribe_fb_add_category' );
function tribe_fb_add_category( $event_id ) {
​
wp_set_object_terms( $event_id, 'Facebook Event', 'tribe_events_cat', false );
​
}

Change Facebook Event with the name of the category you would like to use. Have a great evening and thanks for choosing PRO. Cheers!
