I need to add custom tags to my events

[john]

I need to add custom tags to my events. But i don’t see that option when i’m creating a new event.

We bought the Filters Bar, the idea is that we need to filter by location.

Thanks 😉

Hey John,

Thanks for reaching out.

Tags should already be enabled/showing on Events, in the edit screen as shown in this screenshot:

☝️Do you not find this to be the case for you? If so, please post your site’s “System Information”, which you can learn how to do here ? https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

If this is not what you are referring to, then can you elaborate on things a bit more? Perhaps share screenshots, etc?

Thank you!
George

Yes, when we add a new event, we don’t see the “tag” option. This is very important for us so we can filter by location. Thanks

[George]

Sorry to see this, John!

If you click the “Screen options” tab in the top-right corner of the admin screen when you go to edit/create an event, does a checkbox labeled “Tags” show up in the drawer that slides down?

For reference, here is a very short (<30 seconds) video I recorded of me finding this “tags” checkbox.

Check this out ? https://cloudup.com/cSimYRjck9G

Do you find the tags checkbox in your own “Screen options”?

Let us know what you find.

Thank you for your patience,
George
