Related events have no relationship what so ever

[suebaron]

I have noticed throughout my calendar that when I go to the detail of an event and the page shows me related events they actually have no relationship what so ever. i have checked dates, venues, venue organisers, the orer in which I loaded stuff and their appears to be no logic what so ever to what the detail of the event brings up as related. Can someone help me understand what the plug in is doing. Each page shows three related events – but I can assure you the relationships dont exist.

Hi Sue,

I’m sorry to hear that your “related events” results are sub-par. Tags and categories are weighed equally by the function that loads related events, but if you would like to change the function at all, you can indeed do this.

Modifying the function OR adding location-based relationships are both, unfortunately, code customizations. I say “unfortunately” because we cannot help with code customizations. Check out “product support” on this page for more information about that → http://theeventscalendar.com/terms

That being said, there are two filters you can use:
• tribe_related_posts_args
• tribe_get_related_posts

These are quite powerful on their own and I hope you find them useful. To learn more about these filters, and about the function that gets related posts in general, then head to this file in your plugin files for Events Calendar Pro:

1	events-calendar-pro/src/functions/template-tags/general.php

The function to look for is called tribe_get_related_posts().

I hope this information helps. Best of luck with your customizing!

Thanks,
Brendan

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.
