hiding the category results on an event page

[Monica Filos]

Hi there, I have read a good number of posts on this issue and I have concluded that all the answers refer to filtering the categories… people wanting to exclude events pertaining to a given category. Such is not my problem. So I will try my best to describe my need here.

Since categories and tags behave differentely and I really dont want my events to show up on the blog area, I found myself with only one area to do all my taxonomy, which is the category area. So I have two parent categories: 1. to show and 2. to not show to the public because are for my internal control and to later be able to open such pages based on such classifications.

Creating all that was easy. And I do want all my events to show up (meaning I dont want some of such events excluded because I am excluding a category). What I dont want is all such LABELS to show up on the category area of my front-end main event page.

For example, For an event that has “World”, “Etiquette”, “Event Code”
I would only like for the public to read on the main event page the categories “World” & “Etiquette”

If I go to functions.php and do all that about the slugs, I understood that will prevent my event from showing up if the slug was “event-code” (to follow with my example), right? So, how can I go around this?

Thanks for your help.
Monique

Salut Monique,

No worries about the button, it didn’t close the thread and I undid it.

Definitely hiding the hole category section is the easiest. Paste this snippet into your child theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter( 'tribe_get_event_categories', function( $html ) { return; } );
Let me know how this works out.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi Monica,

I cooked up something for you.

Copy this template to your child theme folder by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/pro/modules/meta/additional-fields.php

https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/a791306e1591c7638e088a4a36c71b8d

Then you might want to adjust in the middle the

$title_of_fields

list.
That’s all to it.

Let me know how that works out!

Cheers,
Andras

Trés bien! 🙂 I’m super stoked to see it help and your site is one step closer to perfection!

As an extra tip, you can easily modify the code and add a dash ‘-‘ before each of the categories, in case you want to.

Since this is marked resolved I am going to close this ticket, but if you need anything else related to this topic or another please post a new topic in the forum and we will help you out.

Good luck with your project!

Cheers,
Andras
