Shortcode not filtering categories

[Raymond Gillespie]

Hello,

I have created a custom PHP template for a page that includes this php/shortcode:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[tribe_events_list]’); ?>

That seems to work fine, and I can also include the ‘limit’ parameter which works correctly. However, whenever I try to filter by category, it just shows all the events, as if I hadn’t filtered at all. For example, this code:

<?php echo do_shortcode(‘[tribe_events_list category=”walking”]’); ?>

That doesn’t filter anything and just lists all events.

Can you help?

It’s OK – I’ve gone back to the drawing board after discovering the ‘photo’ view 🙂

Hi Raymond!

Thanks for getting in touch with us!

The shortcode should work find the way you used it. Do make sure to use straight quotes instead of curly quotes. Like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[tribe_events_list category="walking"]'); ?>

As you marked it “Resolved” I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but don’t hesitate to open a new topic if anything comes up and we’d be happy to help.

Best,
Victor
