Sorting events by city

[heatherkitching]

A second question I have about Event Calendar. I want users to be able to sort events by city and category. However, the only option the calendar seems to give them is “keyword.” If you put a city (ie: Toronto) into the keyword, you not only get everything in that city, you also get every event that contains the word “Toronto” in any context. How do I set up the calendar so it only filters events by city? Also, understanding that many cities have suburbs, how do I set up the calendar to understand that “Scarborough” should show up when somebody searches “Toronto”? Thanks!

Hi Heather,

Thank you for writing. I hope you are doing well.

Unfortunately, it’s not possible to sort events by the city with the plugin as is. However, you can use our “Filter Bar” plugin to make that possible. You can read more about how it works here: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-filterbar/

If you check the video or the screenshots you’ll see that there are some filters added to the bar and those are totally customizable. You can have a preview of how the filter bar can be configured on this article: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/configuring-filter-bar/

Best,

Juan.
