Trouble with Shortcode

[Leonard]

I’ve been reading through the shortcode forum and am trying to insert a shortcode to view a calendar with 4 categories (leaving out 2 categories).

This is the shortcode I’ve used:
[tribe_events view=”month” categories=”aquatics-events, family-events, fitness-events, youth-events”]

But it’s showing all the categories and not only the ones I’ve listed.

I’ve included the screenshot of my Event Categories page in case it’s needed.

Thank you

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I’d be happy to help with your question.

Unfortunately, the “tribe_events” shortcode does not yet support more than one category. This can be confusing, because the widget shortcodes do support this feature. This is planned to be added to main “tribe_events” shortcode, but I can’t say for sure when this will happen.

For now, you can only add one category using the “category” attribute. A workaround for this is to add a parent category to the ones you would like to show in the shortcode. However, this may not work in all circumstances.

If you’d like to “vote” for this feature, you can visit our User Voice forum.

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any additional questions about this.

Thanks,
Sky

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
