Tags, Tags, Tags…

Friends, I read a lot of posts on the forum about the need to separate Events Tags and theme tags, but none of the discussion didn’t have happy end.

So now my question is…

How do I remove Events from the search for tags ???

Hi. Thanks for your detailed question and screenshots.

Yes, the Tags are the same taxonomy as that used for Posts.

Have you considered using the Event Categories instead?

Hi!

There is a need to use both.

Yes, The Events Calendar does use a custom taxonomy (Event Categories) and the built-in Post Tags taxonomy. Therefore, when you visit the Post Tags taxonomy on your site, the Events assigned to that tag are showing up.

You could create a custom taxonomy (like Event Tags) if both tags (non-hierarchical) and categories (hierarchical) classifications are required.

Or you could leverage the pre_get_posts hook (additional reference) to exclude posts of the tribe_events post type.

I hope one of these solutions will work well for you.
