filter main calendar

[Daniel Phillips]

Hi, I do have the filter bar plugin, but wanted to move all events of a certain category to show on another calender, using a shortcode. This I can do, butis there a way to pre-filter the main calendar so that category does not show?

Good evening Daniel and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.
I would love to help you with this topic.

If I understand correctly, you are able to do all that you need, you just want to make sure nobody ever sees a specific category on the main calendar page.

The proper way to do this is with a bit of customization.
Either some code in the functions.php file of your WordPress theme or via a theme override (view customization).

You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

Additionally, I believe this other thread could help you achieve what you are looking for: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/hide-category-from-main-calendar-but-not-category-calendar/

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
