Show Category Description in List view

[Marco]

Hi there,
to get the category description showed under the Schedule & Recurrence Details in the List view I added either
<?php echo category_description() ?>
or
<?php echo term_description( $term_id, ‘events_cat’ ); ?>
to [my-theme]/tribe-events/list/single-event.php file, without success.

Thanks for support

Hi Marco,

Thanks for reaching out! You could add something like this to your template:

$event_cats = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'tribe_events_cat');

foreach ($event_cats as $category) {
echo '

' . $category->name . '

';
echo '

' . $category->description . '

';
}

I included the category name in case you would like to display that as well, otherwise you can just delete that line (along with the

tags – or replace them with your own markup). But this will display all of the category descriptions for an event.

If you haven’t already, I would recommend taking a look at our themer’s guide, which has some great tips on customizing our plugins.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
