The URL for categories when filtering the calendar is not pretty

[Robert Pregulman]

We are using your Filter Add-on to Events Calendar Pro. We are using version 3.9 for all plugins. Everything is working BUT when we filter by category, the URL in the browser looks something like this: http://www.seattledogspot.com/events/?tribe_eventcategory=38. How do we change that so it displays http://www.seattledogspot.com/events/dog-adoption-events instead (which is the slug for that category)?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins I can provide some information on this.

The Filter Bar is using the query string of the url (?tribe_eventcategory[]=53 ) to filter the Calendar. It is required to be a query string and changing the url to a pretty permalink would break it. So I am afraid it is not possible to change the url to the way you would like for the filter bar.

There are category views if you would like to use those, for instance the Dog Adoption Events Category has a url of this:

http://www.seattledogspot.com/events/category/dog-adoption-events/

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
