Show start and end dates in event category feed

[Anthony Mitchell]

Hi, I can’t find any open threads about how to do this. There are a few that link to a guide page which must have been live once upon a time but now 404s, so here goes…

We’re currently using WordPress as a blog and events platform bolted on to a non WordPress site. We have some PHP script that pulls the first 4 events from the feed to show on the homepage (the non WP part of the site).

As the number of events has grown I now need to be more specific about what to show, so I set up a category for ‘featured events’ to display events from that feed instead.

I would like to add the event start and end dates to the RSS output so we can call those to the homepage too.

As I said, I’ve seen a few threads on this topic, but they’re all closed and don’t provide the answer.

Hi Anthony! Looks like you’ve been registered for quite a while and this is your first post to the forums, so…welcome. 🙂

Good question. You can use the tribe_get_start_date() and tribe_get_end_date() functions in your RSS template. Echo them in the template where you would like the to display, like so:

<?php echo tribe_get_start_date() ?>

If you need to create a custom RSS template, this is a nice write-up on how to do that.

Cheers!

Hey Anthony! This thread has been quiet for a couple of weeks, so I’m going to go ahead and close it. Please feel free to start a new thread if you still have any questions here and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff
