How does Similar Events Work?

[GDPR20191204a]

Hi I have a events website and I have a category as 18+, when I click on an event that is 18+ the Similar Events doesnt show events with the same category?

Like this page:
http://www.armadaleartsfestival.com.au/event/festival-club-1/
There are another 2 festival clubs with a category as 18+ but it shows others?

Can you please explain how this works and if we can show events within the same category there?

Good evening Anthony and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

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

This might vary from one WordPress theme to the other, but the file for that functionality is located here: /wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/related-events.php or in the  /tribe-events/ folder of your theme.

I believe that it defaults to events that are close in time to the event currently viewed.

But this can be customized.

You can tweak the following snippet in the functions.php file of your theme (without the PHP tag at the top): https://gist.github.com/GeoffEW/307ee8b9197718f869c57d24b0b5008f

You can read about that here: https://theeventscalendar.com/customizations/

If coding is not really your cup of tea, you could always hire one of our recommended customizers to do the customization for you.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
