Remove cost from event imported from Eventbrite

[Bennie]

Hi, how do I remove the price range, immediately below the event description and dates, when I import an event from Eventbrite?

The cost field (which I’ve made visible by adding “add_filter( ‘tribe_events_admin_show_cost_field’, ‘__return_true’, 100 );” to my functions,php file, seem to have ZERO effect here; ideally I’d like the cost field to override the cost coming in from EventBrite, at least at the top display (I appreciate it can’t/won’t override the tickets).

Even if you ignore the cost field, I’d still like no cost to display at the top – how to effect that?

Thanks
Bennie Naude

Hey Bennie,

Thanks for reaching out to us! Hopefully what you are looking for is achievable by a simple code snippet 🙂

Just add the following code to your theme functions.php file located at wp-content/themes/your_active_theme/:


function use_cost_field( $cost, $post_id ) {
return esc_html( get_post_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost', true ) );
}

add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'use_cost_field', 100, 2 );


You should now see the cost field value instead of the tickets price range, please let me know if this works for you.

Best,
Nico

Thanks Nico

Now the currency symbols have disappeared from all my events – how do I get that back?

Hey Bennie,

Try this updated version of the snippet:


function use_cost_field( $cost, $post_id ) {

$currency = tribe_get_event_meta( $post_id, '_EventCurrencySymbol', true );
$new_cost = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_EventCost', true );

if ( $new_cost > 0 ) {
$new_cost = $currency . ' ' . $new_cost;
} else {
$new_cost = $cost;
}

return esc_html( $new_cost );
}

add_filter( 'tribe_get_cost', 'use_cost_field', 100, 2 );


It will grab the currency symbol you define per event.

Please let me know about it,
Best,
Nico
