Using TEC Pro Shortcodes with Event Categories and Sub-categories

[smalldogcreative]

Funny that all of the shortcode examples shown at https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-widget-shortcodes/ show one category or two categories (separated by commas) but not category/subcategory/etc.

So, how would one filter an Event with a top category and two subs: /cat1/sub1/sub2?

It seems that TEC/Pro only filters by the sub2 (it doesn’t cascade, if you will).

I tried [tribe_events_list category=”cat1/sub1/sub2″ tag=””], but it didn’t work. I haven’t tried [tribe_events_list category=”cat1, sub1, sub2″ tag=””] yet, because it seems that ALL sub2’s from all other categories would be included, following the way the first shortcode was attempted.

How about [tribe_events_list category=”cat1>sub1>sub2″ tag=””] or some other format?

Hey @smalldogcreative,

Sub-categories are unfortunately not supported at this time 🙁 If you have the Category IDs of these sub-categories and just use those IDs like normal, then events in these categories may appear fine in the shortcode output, but there’s not support for a special format like your examples show in your firs post here on this thread…

I hope this information helps!
