Related Events Only Specific Category

[Meghan Fuller]

Is there a way to set the related events to only display events from a specific category?

Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Meghan,

That’s certainly possible though it requires adding some custom code – either to your theme’s functions.php file or (preferably) a custom plugin. The basic form looks something like this:

function events_related_posts_override( array $query_args ) {
	$query_args[ 'tax_query' ] = array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY,
			'field'    => 'slug',
			'terms'    => 'birthdays',
		)
	);

	return $query_args;
}

add_filter( 'tribe_related_posts_args', 'events_related_posts_override' );

In the above example, I’m limiting related posts to those assigned to a category with a slug of ‘birthdays’, but you could easily adjust as needed.

Does that help at all?

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.
