Unlink Category from Single View

[Andrew]

On the single view event page, there is a field called “Category” with a link to the category the event belongs to. I’d like to remove that hyperlink and just list the category name instead. The single.php file has a php line , but that doesn’t allow me to remove the hyperlink and keep the category name. Where can I make this change?

Try adding the following to your CSS.

dt.category-label, dd.category-meta { display: none; }

Oops, the above will remove it entirely. Look in your /resources/views/single.php, copy it to your theme/events/ directory and I believe you’ll find the code in that file to remove the hyperlink from the category.

It seems to be populating from the function tribe_meta_event_cats, I don’t know where it is but it’s likely there’s no override as it’s in the core somewhere.

Hey Andrew. Thanks for the note; I believe Andy is correct here and that this is something in the core (which we strongly advise against modifying) but let me check whether anyone on our dev team has any ideas to workaround it. No guarantees but stay tuned and we’ll do what we can.

Hey Andrew, Andy is right about ‘tribe_meta_event_cats’ not being able to print strings without links, but you don’t need to modify core.

1) Add this to your theme’s functions.php: https://gist.github.com/3232646
2) Create (if you don’t have it already) a ‘events’ folder in your theme
3) Copy wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single.php to that ‘events’ folder in your theme.
4) Edit that single.php in your_theme/events/ and replace tribe_meta_event_cats(); with my_tribe_meta_event_cats();
5) Enjoy 🙂
6) Let me know if that works as intended.
