Listing events by category

[Olivier Butler]

We are building a site for a company that offers educational courses. Each course has a dedicated page, and lists the dates currently available for booking. As far as I’ve seen, Events Calendar Pro can give you upcoming, per-venue, and calendar views of your events- is there built in functionality to list events by tag or category? If not built in, do you think this extension would be hard to build (we would happily undertake this)?

To clarify, we would want to list all the events associated with a specific course (I’m imagining a tag or category would be the way to identify different courses), so as to sell the tickets with the WooCommerce plugin.

Hi there, Oliver! Thanks for getting in touch–I’m stoked you’re looking into going PRO and hope it’s a good fir for your site. 🙂

Yes, there is absolutely a way to view a specific category or tag of events. Each category and tag gets its own URL, which follows this sort of format:

• Category: [your-site]/events/category[category-slug]
• Tag: [your-site]/tag/[category-slug]

So, for example, if we have an event category called Conference, then we would have a URL like this: [your-site]/events/category/conference. That would display all the events in that category.

You might notice that tags are not event-specific. In other words, they are global to all posts and use the same set of tags as the rest of the site.

I do also want to note that this functionality is included in the free version of the plugin, so you can give it a test drive there if you’d like to see how it would work on your site. 🙂

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff
