tribe_is_event() failing on events without categories

[Ken Charity]

I have several categories set up, some without events associated to them.

if ( tribe_is_event() ) {                 

	if ( is_singular( 'tribe_events' ) ) { // we are on a single event page

		echo 'Events Calendar Single Event';

	} elseif ( tribe_is_month() && !is_tax() ) { // Month View Page

		echo 'Events Calendar Month';

	} elseif ( tribe_is_month() && is_tax() ) { // Month View Category Page

		echo 'Events Calendar Category';
	}

} elseif ( is_archive() ) {

	echo 'Archives';

}

On month category page with events I get ‘Events Calendar Category’ output, with no events I get ‘Archives’

If I remove the tribe_is_event() check and use it like this:

if ( is_singular( 'tribe_events' ) ) { // we are on a single event page

	echo 'Events Calendar Single Event';

} elseif ( tribe_is_month() && !is_tax() ) { // Month View Page

	echo 'Events Calendar Month';

} elseif ( tribe_is_month() && is_tax() ) { // Month View Category Page

	echo 'Events Calendar Category';

} elseif ( is_archive() ) {

	echo 'Archives';

}

I get ‘Events Calendar Category’ output on the category month view with and with out events for that particular category as expected.

Why is checking if the page is an events page failing on categories without events tied to them?

Hey Ken,

tribe_is_event() only looks for whether a single item is of the Tribe Events post type or not, so it seems to me like something like this might work a little better for your needs here:

if ( tribe_is_event() ) {                 

	if ( is_singular( 'tribe_events' ) ) { // we are on a single event page

		echo 'Events Calendar Single Event';
	} 

} elseif ( tribe_is_month() ) {
        
        if ( ! is_tax() ) { // Month View Page
		
                echo 'Events Calendar Month';

	} else { // Month View Category Page
		
                echo 'Events Calendar Category';
	}

} elseif ( is_archive() ) {

	echo 'Archives';

}

What do you find when you try this?

Ah ok thanks for clarifying that. That would be similar to the second code snippet I wrote minus the check. I assume that Venues and Organizers can also fall in that tribe_is_event() check as well?

I was really trying to use tribe_is_event() as a wrapper for all ECP related pages. Is there such a helper function that exists?

[George]

Hi Ken,

There is not a wrapper for all ECP-related pages.

As for venues and organizers, tribe_is_event() will return false for those because those things are not events.

To check for those things, there are equivalents however. They are tribe_is_venue() and tribe_is_organizer().

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
George

Thanks for the info.
