tribe_get_venue() output as name and not as link

[Kevin]

I’m having some difficulties with venue.php file.

I’d like to display the value name as plain text and NOT as a link. Currently the function being used is <?php echo tribe_get_venue() ?> but it outputs the venue name as a link (based on the website information included in the venue CPT).

If not using this function, how can I output the venue name in the noted file?

[Kevin]

I should note that the venues.php file I am referring to is in:

modules/meta/venue.php

Howdy Kevin,

I would love to help you with this.

We have two relevant functions here:

https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_get_venue/

https://theeventscalendar.com/function/tribe_get_venue_link/

Are you certain you are not using tribe_get_venue_link() ? tribe_get_venue() should only be returning the title.

Cheers!

See the attached screenshot.

I’ve tried both and they provide the same results.

I’ve disabled all other plugins to see if there were some odd conflicts, but there are none.

I’ve also reviewed the file at:
/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/venue.php
and the functions seem to be correct there (I haven’t altered this file).

So I can only assume there’s a function elsewhere which is conflicting.

Kevin,

Give this a try.


<?php echo strip_tags(tribe_get_venue() )?>


Hope this helps.

Thanks. This solved it.

Oh I see what is happening. Events Calendar Pro is hooking into the ‘tribe_get_venue’ filter and returning the link when it thinks it is in the modules/venue.php file. Yours must be tripping it up a bit. That seems like a bug to me, I’ll log a ticket to see if there is a refined way for us to do this.

Regardless thought Mathew’s workaround is a great idea. That should keep working even after we patch this.

Thanks for pointing this out Kevin.

Cheers!
