Trying to call Events category for slider

[buitenaardig]

Hello everyone,

I was hoping you could help me with a small problem I’m running into.
The website I’m working on has a slider and a carousel, just below eachother.
The code for both are about the same. You get to choose a category from wich you
want the content to show (http://stichtingtwentsebalie.nl.buitenaardig.hostingxs.nl/stb-01.jpg)

The code is:
————————————————————————————
<?php
$carousel_title = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘wt_meta_carousel_title’, true);
$cat_id = get_post_meta($post->ID, ‘wt_meta_carousel_cat’, true);

$args = array(
‘cat’ => $cat_id,
‘post_status’ => ‘publish’,
‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => 1,
‘posts_per_page’ => 15
);
?>
————————————————————————————

Now my question: How would I change the code to be able to select the categories made by The Events Calendar to show as a Carousel or Slider?

Looking forward to an answer, thank you so much in advance.

buitenaardig,
Thanks for getting in touch! The Events Calendar uses a custom taxonomy named ‘tribe_events_cat.’ As I’m not familiar with that particular slider/carousel, I can’t speak to specifically how to customize it, but I would suggest reaching out to the developer of that plugin to see if they can offer any guidance on how to modify it to use a custom taxonomy instead of post categories.

Hopefully that helps point you in the right direction, but let me know if you have further questions. Thanks! 🙂

Thanks for following up on this question Casey, very kind of you. Sadly enough I havent been able to figure it out yet but I’ll contact the developer of the plugin to see if we can work something out.

Thanks again!
