Hi there, Claire! Thanks for getting in touch and for checking out the plugins. I hope it’s a nice fit for your project. ๐
Yes, the core version of The Events Calendar include Event Categories and Tags. These can be applied to events posts and would affect the results included with the search functionality.
The Events Calendar PRO adds Venues and Organizers as additional ways to categorize events.
The Filter Bar add-onย adds an advanced search field to the calendar that allows visitors to filter events by a number of different criteria, including:
- Start Time
- Day of the week
- Category
- Tag
- Cost
- Venue (if PRO is installed)
- Organizer (if PRO is installed)
Does this help clarify things a bit and answer your questions? Please let me know. ๐
