Multiple Categories in RSS feed

[kshykula]

Hello, I followed the instructions in a support thread having the same title as the one I just created.

my RSS URL for multiple categories is as follows:

https://www.westmountcharter.com/?feed=rss&cat=119,242

Only category 119 gets picked up with 242 being ignored. I have tried with this with a whole string of category numbers that I would like to include with the same result. RSS for multiple categories for a regular WordPress post works just fine.

Could you possibly help me with the syntax? Am I missing something?

Many thanks,

Kat

Correction:

https://www.westmountcharter.com/events-calendar/feed/ seems to work (picking up all)

https://www.westmountcharter.com/events-calendar/?feed=rss&cat=119,242 does NOT work.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out!

For a category feed you can use this url structure:

https://www.westmountcharter.com/events-calendar/feed/?tribe_eventcategory=133

I’m not sure if it is possible to get more categories into the feed though. Please give me some time to check.

Cheers,
Andras

Hi again,

A colleague was kind enough to take a look at this and came up with the following snippet:

[code language=”php”]add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, function( WP_Query $query ) {
if ( ! $query->is_feed() || ‘tribe_events’ !== $query->get( ‘post_type’ ) ) {
return;
}

if ( empty( $_REQUEST[ ‘tribe_event_categories’ ] ) ) {
return;
}

$categories = [];

foreach ( (array) $_REQUEST[ ‘tribe_event_categories’ ] as $event_category_id ) {
$event_category_id = absint( $event_category_id );

if ( $event_category_id ) {
$categories[] = $event_category_id;
}
}

if ( empty( $categories ) ) {
return;
}

$tax_query = (array) $query->get( ‘tax_query’ );
$tax_query[] = [
‘taxonomy’ => ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘terms’ => $categories,
];

$query->set( ‘tax_query’, $tax_query );
}, 1000 );[/code]

Copy it into your child theme’s functions.php file.

The above snippet would support URLs following this sort of format:

/events/feed/?tribe_event_categories[]=123&tribe_event_categories[]=456

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Andras

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics.
