include events on front page

[Rob]

I am using genesis themes if that helps anything but what I have done is add categories to my events:
add_action( ‘init’, ‘add_calendar_taxonomy’, 0 );
function add_calendar_taxonomy() {
register_post_type(‘tribe_events’,array(
‘taxonomies’ => array(‘category’, ‘post_tag’)
));

then try to show posts and events that are marked by that category as follows:
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘be_change_event_posts_per_page’ );
function be_change_event_posts_per_page( $query ) {
if( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘cat’, ’15’ );
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘Events’) );
}
}

Hi Rob,

Have you read over our guide on using Genesis at https://theeventscalendar.com/tutorial-integrating-the-events-calendar-w-genesis/? That might help point you in the right direction. If you need more assistance, feel free to post again here.

Thanks,
Leah

Hey Leah,
Thanks for the replay, I have watched and read the genesis tutorials and really think they are great. I was not able to make the leap needed from those specific tutorials to solve my current problem. Thanks again.

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the update. We’re heading out for the weekend as usual, but I’ll get someone familiar with Genesis to take a look at this on Monday. Thanks for your patience!

Hi Rob,

Two things, one, it looks like you may have some syntax issues with your code using apostrophes instead of single quotes so make sure it’s not a problem with your code… Two, in this chunk of code:

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘be_change_event_posts_per_page’ );
function be_change_event_posts_per_page( $query ) {
if( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( ‘cat’, ’15′ );
$query->set( ‘post_type’, array( ‘post’, ‘Events’) );
}
}

You need to use tribe_events instead of “Events” as the post type, so like so (and I’m also correcting the apostrophes here):

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'be_change_event_posts_per_page' );
function be_change_event_posts_per_page( $query ) {
if( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
$query->set( 'cat', '15' );
$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'tribe_events') );
}
}

…see if that helps.

Hey again Rob. Just wanted to follow-up on this one to double check if Jonah’s last response got you where you needed to be. Can you confirm, so we can close out this thread or follow-up as needed? Thanks in advance!

[Rob]

Sorry for not posting back that fix is what I needed, you guys rock!

[Leah]

Glad to hear it! Thanks Rob!
