Viewing events by category

[Riccardo]

It looks like there’s no way to filter events by category. Am I wrong? For example I’d like to show only events from one category

Hi Riccardo, yes, they work like regular categories so you can go to wp-admin > Events menu > Event Categories sub-menu > and click the “View” link that appears when hovering over each category (like this).

You could copy that link and add it wherever you want, or you can even use the Event Categories links available from the WordPress Menus area (like this).

If you want your site visitors to be able to filter events by category on the front-end of your site, then you’ll want to check out our Filter Bar add-on.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

Yes I’d think it would me more useful to filter on the front end, however 80$ for the filter bar is really too expensive.

How can you expect people paying 80$ for a bunch of queries such as the following?

` $querystr = ”
SELECT $wpdb->posts.*
FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->postmeta
WHERE $wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = ‘tag’
AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value = ’email’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = ‘publish’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = ‘post’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_date < NOW()
ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date DESC
“;

$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);,

I really would not spend more than 20, assuming I have paid 80 for the calendar. I think that some WordPress developers are pushing the limit too high. I wonder if they realize that with the same amount of money you can buy a suite of software such as Microsoft Office. Software that holds thousands lines of code (complex code, not just a few hundreds of PHP code)…

Not your fault, obviously, but I would recommend your marketing strategist to review price policy.

Thanks for helping

Riccardo, thanks for sharing your pricing feedback. I have passed it along to management.

(FYI: The normal price is $89/year, not $80.)

Was there anything more I could help with on this topic?

Thanks Cliff for helping

You bet! 🙂
