Show category name without link

[Mats]

Hi!

Im new to this plugin and i´m just trying to do something real simple, but can´t figure it out.
I want to display the category assigned to an event, and not have it link to a archive page for that category.

After some searching I found this:

 <?php $terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'tribe_events_cat' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo $term->name;
}?>
<?php echo get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'tribe_events_cat'); ?>

But it outputs the word “Array” after each category name… so maybe my problem is elsewhere..

Anyone?

Hey Mats,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

A couple of quick notes:

• You should delete the last line of the snippet. This is most likely what is outputting the “Array” since that is the expected return from a “get_the_terms()” function call
• Where do you currently have this code added? For which view are you wanting the category to be displayed for?

Thanks!

Hey Josh!
Thanks for answering.

I have this code in tribe-events/list/singe-event.php
In my own theme folder.

Removing <?php echo get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'tribe_events_cat'); ?> worked!

Thanks!

Hey Mats,

Great! Are the categories now showing for you the way you would like for that page?

Thanks!
