tribe_get_events works on most pages, but not on WP category archives

[Logan]

I have used the following code to pull in the 5 most recent events on a pop-out menu. It works fine on most pages, printing out 5 upcoming events with date and country. But, on categories archives for other WordPress categories, it renders nothing. Please help.

'start_date' => date('Y-m-d H:i:s'),
) );
foreach ( $events as $event ) {
$sdate = tribe_get_start_date($event,false,'M j');
$elink = tribe_get_event_link( $event );
$ecntry = tribe_get_country( $event );
echo "

$sdate $event->post_title $ecntry
“;
}?>

Hello, Logan!

It looks like the editor garbled your code a bit but I think I got the ‘gist’ of it 😉

First off, I do want to note that we are fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this. You can see more about the support options  available here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/what-support-is-provided-for-license-holders/

To test, I put the code inside a function and added it to the theme’s functions.php file. I then added tribe_custom_loop() to the archive.php file, both inside and outside the loop. I was able to see output in both cases.

Here is a gist of the function I created:

I’m not sure how you were implementing it but my suggestion is to try this (if different than yours) and if this doesn’t work I suspect it may have to do with your theme configuration.

If you’re curious you could go through the ‘Testing for Conflicts’ guide here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

I hope this help, let me know how it goes!

Cheers,
Trisha
