Using API to create events: how to add Category

[halostribe]

I’m using the API to create/update events, organizers and venues.
Everything works perfectly, but I can’t figure out how to add a category to an event.
It doesn’t seem to be possible using the API?

Hi halostribe,

If you’re using tribe_create_events() then it is worth noting this is effectively a wrapper around wp_insert_post() – and so you can pretty much use the same arguments (and apply taxonomy terms via a tax_input argument. More details can be found in the WordPress docs:

• http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post
• http://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post

Does that help?

That’s the solution! Thank you, Barry.

Awesome, happy to help 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread out since it looks like you’re all set – but if we can assist with anything else please don’t hesitate to create a new thread and one of the team will be only too happy to help.

Last but not least, if you have a moment to spare we’d love to hear your thoughts on The Events Calendar over on our plugin review page. Thanks again!
