Set default category for Facecbook Importer

[Constantino Thamnopoulos]

I would like that all Facebook imported event go to a specific category.

I look up on the forum and I found this:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/set-default-category-for-facecbook-importer/

but the location of the coding provided seems not to be valid any more.

Can you help me to achieve this functionality?
Please anyone that read this consider Im an amateur on WordPress.

Have a lovely day!

Howdy Constantino,

Welcome to our support forums and thanks for reaching out to us! I’ll help you here…

Just add the snippet below to your theme’s (or child theme’s) functions.php file:


/* Set a default category for facebook imported events */
function tribe_set_facebook_category ( $event_id, $organizer_id, $venue_id ) {
wp_set_object_terms( $event_id, 'cat-slug', Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY, false );
}

add_action ( 'tribe_events_facebook_event_created', 'tribe_set_facebook_category', 10, 3 );


Be sure to change cat-slug for the real event category slug in your site!

Please let me know if this works for you,
Best,
Nico
