How to get the current event category ID and Event date in functions.php

[Kyle Smiles]

I need to be able to pull the current event category ID of the current post and the event date (for a single day – /calendar/today/?action=tribe_event_day&tribe_event_display=day&tribe-bar-date=2017-12-06 ). I also need to know what variable I need to use to change that date when the AJAX call is made to go to the next or previous date. Do I need to use ‘tribe-bar-date’ and then use JavaScript to update the date?

Thank you in advance.

Just to clarify, I need to be able to pull the current event category ID for each event as it is creating the event list: while ( $day[‘events’]->have_posts() ) : $day[‘events’]->the_post(); endwhile;

Still trying to find an answer here … I really need to be able to pull the category id and the event date (single day) during while ( $day[‘events’]->have_posts() ) : $day[‘events’]->the_post(); endwhile; I can get away with not being able to have that in functions.php now. Please advise.

Never mind. I resolved this myself.

Hi Kyle,
