Pull 4 Events from a Specific Category

[Mary Correia-Moreno]

I’d like to display the four upcoming events from a category titled “chamber” – is there a way to modify my loop to only pull the events from that specific ‘chamber’ category?

<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'posts_per_page' => 4 );
	$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
	while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
	<li>
		<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
			<?php the_title(); ?>
		</a>
	</li>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Hey @William,

Just as a disclaimer, we do not offer any support for custom code here – just wanted to put that right out front 🙂

I’m happy to try and help though! Instead of WP_Query, I’d recommend using our tribe_get_events() function instead → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/

Check that out and try using that function instead – something like this should work:


$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'eventDisplay' => 'custom',
'posts_per_page' => 4,
'tribe_events_cat' => 'chamber'
) );


I hope that helps!

Hi George

I know you can’t provide coding assistance but the above isn’t working … :/ is there anyway to instead show ALL posts but exclude a specific category “community” ??

any help is greatly greatly appreciated!!! i’m completely stumped over here – again this is what i started with:

<ul>
	<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'posts_per_page' => 4 );
		$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
		while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
		<li>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
				<?php the_title(); ?>
			</a>
		</li>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>

nevermind! figured out a work around, just using tags instead:

<ul>
	<?php $args = array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_events', 'posts_per_page' => 4, 'tag' => 'chamber' );
		$loop = new WP_Query( $args );
		while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
		<li>
			<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>">
				<?php the_title(); ?>
			</a>
		</li>
	<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
