Restrict Categories?

[kimharp]

I have the same issue as described here. I want users to be able to choose categories, but I also want an admin-only category that users cannot choose, so that these events can be shown in a “Staff Recommendations” sidebar.

Can you advise how to do this? Is the code from the previous post still good or is there a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Kim

Hi Kim

I’d start with using the code mentioned by Jonah: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/restricting-categories-on-add-event/#post-18763 .

Let me know if that works for you.

Thanks,
Courtney 🙂

Thanks Courtney. This didn’t work for me. Can you clarify if I should be using category numbers here, and if so where do I find them? I don’t see any id numbers for event categories, and using the category name didn’t work.

Hi Kim

Go to Events » Event Categories.

Then hover your mouse over one of the categories you want to filter out.

Look in the footer of your browser for tribe_events_cat&. The number after that is the category ID number you will fill in to the CSS code shown in the previous thread.

Let me know if that works.

Thanks,
