Instead of using the List widget could I create a taxonomy template

[Brandon]

Hello,

Instead of using the list widget to display my events in a list format, I would rather create a taxonomy template and go from there. I have 1 Category that I would like to display in a List format, and I think either a Archive or Taxonomy template would be better suited for my needs.

Normally you can create a template to display a taxonomy using “taxonomy-$taxonomy” but I can’t get this to work. I think it’s because I’m not getting the correct taxonomy name from the events calendar.

Could you tell me what the taxonomy name for the Events Categories is or where I might find this in the code?

Hi there Brandon,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

The ‘Events Category’ taxonomy name is tribe_events_cat. It’s defined in the Main class of the core plugin (wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Main.php L 30).

Not sure what you are trying to achieve but please note that you can embed widgets via shortcode passing an events category parameter. Using a page as a placeholder for this might work. Also linking to the event category page works for some cases → http://sitename/events/category/cat-slug.

Please let me know if the above answers your question,
Best,
Nico
