How to exclude event category from single event meta details list

[deshub]

I’ve got a category i’m using for some sorting functions, but I would rather it not show up in the single event meta details list of categories. I was hoping that it would work similar to WordPress’ ‘wp_list_categories’ function, so I tried adding a line to the parameters/args for the ‘tribe_get_event_categories’ function, to exclude the particular category ID i want to hide, but it doesn’t seem to work:

‘exclude’ => ‘369’

I tried to find a list of parameters that the ECP function accepts (other than what I can see in ‘single-event.php’), but no luck.

Is there anything I can pass to that function to omit a category ID or slug from the list of meta details categories? Here is a page I’m working with as a test, I’d like to exclude the first category, ‘Annual Saline Event’.

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins I can try to help out here.

Our function does not accept arguments to exclude event categories.

However, you could replace it with get_terms:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms

They have examples on that page on how to use that function to show terms.

The Event Calendar category is registered as tribe_events_cat

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Brian, that works fine!

$taxonomies = array(
‘tribe_events_cat’,
);

$targs = array(
‘orderby’ => ‘name’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
‘hide_empty’ => true,
‘exclude’ => ‘369,378’
);

$terms = get_terms($taxonomies, $args);

I am glad to see you were able to figure it out and thanks for sharing the coding.

I am going to go ahead and close this ticket. If you have a similar issue or another in the future, please do not hesitate to create a new ticket.

Thanks!
