Hide category from calendar views not working

[integrity]

I wanted to report an issue I came across while perusing the following knowledgebase post: Hide category from calendar views https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/hide-category-from-calendar-views/

This code snippet does not appear to work on the latest version of the Event Calendar Pro plugin (v 3.12.6).

Here is the modified code I have put into my functions.php file. The ‘convention-center’, ‘member-events’, ‘edward-jones-dome’ event categories already exist on my site and have serval posts within them but are still showing up on the main “/events/” page.

/*
* Removes categories “convention-center”, “edward-jones-dome” and “member-events” from list and month views
*/
function tribe_exclude_events_category( $wp_query ) {

// Slugs for the categories you wish to hide
$exclude_cats = array(‘convention-center’, ‘member-events’, ‘edward-jones-dome’);

// Include all posts on admin views
if ( is_admin() ) return $wp_query;

// Uncomment to allow admins to view all events
if ( current_user_can(‘administrator’) ) return $wp_query;

// Join with current tax query if set
if (is_array($wp_query->tax_query))
$tax_query = $wp_query->tax_query;
else
$tax_query = array();

// Setup an exclude from the tribe_events_cat taxonomy
$tax_query[] = array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => $exclude_cats,
‘operator’ => ‘NOT IN’
);

if (
tribe_is_event_query()
&& !is_single() // Uncomment to allow directly viewing an individual event page
&& !is_tax() // Uncomment to allow directly viewing the category page
) {
$wp_query->set(‘tax_query’, $tax_query);
}

return $wp_query;

}

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘tribe_exclude_events_category’, 100, 1 );

Can you please help me figure out how to get this working?

Hi,

That snippet does not appear to be working.

Try this one instead:

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/a467b28a8b8010d4015b

Change this:

array('tech')

With this

array( 'convention-center', 'member-events', 'edward-jones-dome' )

If that is still not working, please check your slugs for the event categories as I have tested this snippet today and it works for me.

Let me know how that works out.

Thanks

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the help. Your code snippet does work BUT appears to create some PHP warnings and notices…

Notice: Undefined index: eventDisplay in /Users/arod/Library/Developer/Web/explorestl/app/wp-content/themes/explore-st-louis/inc/override.php on line 84

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /Users/arod/Library/Developer/Web/explorestl/app/wp-content/themes/explore-st-louis/inc/override.php:84) in /Users/arod/Library/Developer/Web/explorestl/app/wp-admin/post.php on line 242

Any recommendation on how I can resolve these warnings and notices?

Thanks

I was able to remove all of the warnings from showing up in the admin by adding:

if ( is_admin()) return $query;

as the first line of the exclude_events_category function…

the

NOTICE: wp-content/themes/explore-st-louis/inc/override.php:86 - Undefined index: eventDisplay

is still showing up on the frontend however…

Hi,

Warnings and notices only show if debug is on. So at least on a live site that should be off.

However, I did update the snippet to prevent those from happening now.

Please check the gist again and try the new coding and let me know how that works out.

Thanks

That fixes the notice that was showing up on all event list views, but now the following notice appears on all event detail views…

Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /Users/arod/Library/Developer/Web/explorestl/app/wp-includes/query.php on line 4519

While I understand these are just notices from the PHP compiler and nothing is broken, I’d prefer not to have them.

Thanks for your continued support!

[Brian]

I updated the snippet and reordered the part.

I think it is fine now, but if not I am not sure the issue and that is about all I can provide on this for now.

Thanks

Works like a charm!

Thanks for all your help!

[Brian]

Great, glad it helps, I am going to go ahead and close this ticket, but if you need help on this or something else please post a new ticket.

Thanks!
