has_category() not working – alternatives?

[Adrian Cumpanasu]

Hi!
I was trying to check if the event has a category, but it returns always false.
What can I use instead?

P.S. I used this code: http://pastebin.com/GxNAQRbt in case there isn’t a similar function inside the plugin

thanks!

advmaremma,
Thanks for getting in touch! Since the ‘tribe_events’ custom post type implements a custom taxonomy for our Event Categories, you’ll need to use the has_term method instead. Something like this should do the trick:


if( has_term( 'category-slug-to-check', 'tribe_events_cat' ) ) {
// do something
}


Give that a shot and let me know if it does the trick for you. Thanks! 🙂

Great! Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
Casey
