Hide from event listing option?

[Anders]

Hi,

I am new to Events Calendar, so forgive me if this is an obvious or silly question:

After digging around in old forum posts, I noticed a mention of the “Hide from listings” option. The use case mentioned was for example to keep the list view a bit less cluttered, by selecting to not show certain events in that view, but still have them in the full calendar and showing up in widgets etc.

That is still an excellent use case, and one that I am facing now.

But it does seem as though, in the last update, checking that option removes the events from ALL listings: widgets, list view, monthly view, etc.

Is that the intended functionality of that option now? And if so, do you have an elegant solution for the original use case? (Which is in my case: Hide certain recurring events from the list view, while still having them show up in the monthly overview and/or in widgets. )

Thanks!

Hi Anders,

Great question!

The option you are referring to is intended to impact all list type views, so that includes more than just list view itself.

And if so, do you have an elegant solution for the original use case? (Which is in my case: Hide certain recurring events from the list view, while still having them show up in the monthly overview and/or in widgets. )

The great news is that our plugins are very flexible if you’re willing to do some customization work – rarely would you need to hack our core plugin code to achieve something – so what you want is almost certainly possible 🙂

One option could be to categorize or tag the events you wish to hide from list view and then modify the query to remove any such events with some query modifications.

This knowledgebase article doesn’t directly do what you want, but it would certainly serve as a solid starting point.

Does that help?

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
