Hide category from event page

[Michalis]

Hi,

i would like to hide the category section from the events page.

For example in the URL below:

http://kerynia.eu/newsite/event/diethnis-imera-paidiou/

I want to hide:

Εκδήλωση Category:
Εκδηλώσεις Δήμου Κερύνειας

How can i achieve that?

I am also attaching a screenshot for the goal i need to accomplish.

Thanks

Good evening George and welcome back!

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

The most robust way to do this is to create a view override for the single event view.
You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

Basically, you can take the code of the view, tweak it and upload it in the  /tribe-events/ folder of your WordPress theme.

You can follow this thread as a guide https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/remove-the-event-category-under-details-on-the-single-event-view/#post-948250

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hi,

I applied the following change:

/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/details.php.

Within that file, simply look for and remove the following section of code:

<?php
echo tribe_get_event_categories(
get_the_id(), array(
‘before’ => ”,
‘sep’ => ‘, ‘,
‘after’ => ”,
‘label’ => null, // An appropriate plural/singular label will be provided
‘label_before’ => ‘<dt>’,
‘label_after’ => ‘</dt>’,
‘wrap_before’ => ‘<dd class=”tribe-events-event-categories”>’,
‘wrap_after’ => ‘</dd>’
)
);
?>

The problem is that this file will be overridden by the original one in the next updates of the plugin.

How can i avoid that?

Good evening George,

Thank you for writing back.

To avoid that, you need to place the modified view in your child theme, as explained in our themer’s guide.

The path will be something like: [your-theme]/tribe-events/modules/meta/details.php.

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.

Hi,

It doesn’t seem to work when i place details.php here:

wp-content/themes/enfold-child/tribe-events/modules/meta/detail.php

The original path of that file is :

wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/detail.php

Never mind,

I managed to make it work.

Thanks for the help.

Good evening George,

For now, I am going to close this thread.

Have a great week!
