Show related events by CATEGORY, not randomly

[cityofpasadena]

I’m modifying related events to show by category. I am using the code snippet following the instructions from a forum post here as follows:

/* Tribe, change related posts arguments */
function tribe_modify_related_posts_args ( $args ) {
$args['meta_key'] = '_EventStartDate';
$args['orderby'] = 'meta_value';
$args['order'] = 'ASC';
return $args;
}
add_filter( 'tribe_related_posts_args', 'tribe_modify_related_posts_args' );

What is the name of the meta_key to show related events by category, and order them by eventStartDate?

Thanks so much for reaching out again!

As Andras mentioned, customization support is limited as stated in our support policy, but I’d love to help point you in the right direction.

The following forum post has a snippet that allows only one category to be used for Related Events:

You can also try using the snippet provided in this forum post about showing Related Events chronologically:

Let me know how that goes and if you have any other questions on this topic!

 

Thanks,

Jaime
