Related Events: How to change the filter?

[Benjamin White]

With the related events – is there a way to change how it filters related events? For example – I have 2 events, listed with different categories, but at the same venue.

Now under related events, they are showing up on their events pages (am I making sense?!) – I assume because they’re at the same venue?

How do I change it so under related events, it only displays events with the same category and ignores the venue information?

Hi there Benjamin,

Thanks for getting in touch with us! Let me help you out 🙂

How do I change it so under related events, it only displays events with the same category and ignores the venue information?

Related events are picked up by tags and event categories, no relation is done by venue information. Can you re-check this in your site?

Also, if you want to customize the parameters for this query you might find this two filters useful: ‘tribe_related_posts_args’. And if you want to modify the result, you can use ‘tribe_get_related_posts’.

Please let me know if the above helps,
Best,
Nico

Hi Nico, thanks for the reply –

I must be relating events via the tag field then – apologies. But the goal is still to only relate events via the Category and ignore everything else.

Also, if you want to customize the parameters for this query you might find this two filters useful: ‘tribe_related_posts_args’. And if you want to modify the result, you can use ‘tribe_get_related_posts’.

Could you point me in the right direction on how to edit these filters? Which file will I find them in – related-events.php?

Thanks!

Thanks for following up Benjamin 🙂

Sure, just paste the code below in your child theme’s functions.php file:

Please let me know if that works for you,
