How to exclude a specific category from main events page…

[Scott Stoddard]

I need to be able to exclude a specific category from our main events calendar, and have that category show only using the mini calendar shortcode on a specific page. How can I do that? I don’t see any options in the settings and the events page has no shortcode to tweak…

Thanks for your help!

Hi Scott!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me help you with this topic.

There is no built in way to exclude a specific category from the main events calendar. However, you could achieve what you’re looking for but would require some custom coding.

As a reference, here’s a code snippet that will exclude the categories ”meetup” and “shindig” from the month and list view:

You can try that by placing the code in your active theme’s functions.php file and modify it to suit your needs.

I hope that helps! Let me know how it goes.

Best,
Victor
