Filter Bar getting tags from post tags ?

[Marc]

Hi,

I just installed my filter bar and noticed that events are using post_tags for tags. Is it possible to add custom taxonomy (tags) only for events or include tags associated with events only (not all from the posts) ??

Thanks
Kuldeep

Howdy Kuldeep,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us! I can help you here 🙂

While this is possible it will require some custom coding from your side, which I can assist you with but not write it! What you want to achieve here is:

– Create a new taxonomy: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/create-custom-taxonomies-wordpress/

– Prevent Events from using post_tags when the ‘Events’ post_type is registered and attach the new taxonomy to Events: To do this you can use the tribe_events_register_event_type_args filter to hijack the taxonomies array.

– Create a new filter in Filter Bar for the custom taxonomy: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/generic-function-for-adding-custom-taxonomy-to-the-filter-bar/

Please let me know if you think you can glue the pieces together,
Best,
Nico
