Function to Limit Events By Category

[Shamsi]

Hi,

I want to write a custom function that will limit the calendar events query to only the results from a specific category.

Does anyone know how write a WordPress function, such as ‘pre_get_posts’, to limit the events by a category?

function limit_events_by_category( $query ) {
/* code to limit the events by a category */
return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'limit_events_by_category' );


(Also, that will not affect any theme custom navigation, thanks)

I previously posted the question of how to write this function, but now I think I’ve come up with it.

/**
* Limit events by a category
*/

function limit_events_by_category( $query ) {
if ( ( tribe_is_month() || tribe_is_photo() || tribe_is_week() || tribe_is_list_view() ) && !is_tax() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'tax_query', array(
array(
'taxonomy' => TribeEvents::TAXONOMY,
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array('event-category')
))
);
}
return $query;
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'limit_events_by_category' );
