Hi there!

The first thing to do is read through our Themer’s Guide, which covers the basics of safely overriding and customizing our templates. In this particular case you will probably wish to modify modules/meta/details.php.

Within that file, simply look for and remove the following section of code:

<?php
echo tribe_get_event_categories(
	get_the_id(), array(
		'before'       => '',
		'sep'          => ', ',
		'after'        => '',
		'label'        => null, // An appropriate plural/singular label will be provided
		'label_before' => '<dt>',
		'label_after'  => '</dt>',
		'wrap_before'  => '<dd class="tribe-events-event-categories">',
		'wrap_after'   => '</dd>'
	)
);
?>

Does that help?

Hi

We are trying to do the same but with no luck. It doesn’t make any difference.

Actually deleting the whole “modules” folder makes no difference. Are we missing something here? Has these files moved to a different location?

Hi Lars,

Perhaps the problem and cause are different in your case? Would you mind posting a fresh topic of your own for this?

Thanks!

Sorry, this was due to server cache. What you suggest regarding removing categories works fine.

[Barry]

Glad it’s sorted 🙂

@meredy: how are you getting on here?

[meredy]

thanks for the code!

One more question–if I apply this code will it only remove the category link from the “single event page”? In other words could I still type in “http://mysite/events/category/some-category/” and get a calendar page?

[Barry]

Exactly, yes. We’re changing the information shown in single event pages – but we aren’t stopping visitors from querying for events in a particular category … so:

In other words could I still type in “http://mysite/events/category/some-category/” and get a calendar page?

Yes, that’s correct 🙂

Great! Now I just have to get comfy with where to place this code as I am using Church-Event template and they already have a tribe events folder which doesn’t have details.php in it–so do I go back to your plugin folder and grab the details.php file and stick it (altered) into their tribe-events/modules/meta folder (along with the only other file they have there (organizer.php))?

[Barry]

So assuming they haven’t done anything really crazy, yes, you would copy modules/meta/details.php from the plugin’s views directory and add it to your theme’s tribe-events directory, so you end up with:

themes/YOUR_THEME/tribe-events/modules/meta/details.php

Just as you said, really 🙂
