Filter recurring Events

[Nico Rettinger]

Hello,

i use the Filter Bar in combination with the Event Calendar PRO. We`ve recurring events nearly every day and normal events on top, so the month view is full of recurring events which are not as important as the normal ones.

Is there an opportunity to filter out the recurring events with the filter bar and just display the normal ones and the other way around?

Thanks for your reply!

Hey Nico,

Thanks for getting in touch with us 🙂

No, there’s not option to do this in the Filter Bar. But there are two options in WP-Admin > Events > Settings > General > Recurring event instances / Front-end recurring event instances toggle, please check them out and let me know if this is what you are looking for.

Best,
Nico

Hey Nico,

thanks for your reply! Sadly these are not the options i was looking for…
Is it possible to create a custom filter so you just can check/uncheck “Recurring Events” in the Filter Bar?

Thanks for following up!

I crafted a sample custom filter for this (not heavily tested). You might need to tweak it a bit to fit your needs, but I guess it’s a good starting point 🙂


/* Tribe, add custom filter to show/hide instances of recurring events */
if ( class_exists('Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Filter') ) {

class Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Filters__Recurring extends Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Filter {

public $type = 'radio';

public function get_admin_form() {
return $this->get_title_field();
}

protected function get_values() {

return array( array( 'name' => 'Show', 'value' => 'show'), array( 'name' => 'Hide', 'value' => 'hide'));
}

protected function pre_get_posts( WP_Query $query ) {

$values = (array) $this->currentValue;

if ( $values[0] == 'hide' ) {
$query->set( 'post_parent', 0 );
}

}
}

new Tribe__Events__Filterbar__Filters__Recurring( 'Recurring Events', 'recurring' );
}


Just paste the code above in your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file, activate the new filter in the admin (Events > Settings > Filters) and let me know if this is what you were looking for,
Best,
Nico

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.
