Why is the word category in my URL?

[Gregory]

I have my permalinks set to post name: http://dev.awakenche.org/sample-post but for some reason, your calendar in putting in the word category. The category is spiritual-community-events so I don’t understand the word also being there. Is there a different way I should have the permalinks set? This is how it shows: http://dev.awakenche.org/events/category/spiritual-community-events

Thank you,
Greg

Hey Greg, and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

The word category is showing up in the URL because what you linked to is the full calendar view for events in the “Spiritual Community Events” category. In other words, this is not an event post, but an archive of event posts.

If you visit one of your event posts, however, the category is removed from the URL as you would expect: http://dev.awakenche.org/event/event-test-greg/

Does this help clarify things a bit? Let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

It clarifies, but I still don’t understand why the word category is there if it’s showing the actual category. It’s OK, though. I linked directly to All Events and deleted the community calendar category and decided to use the categories for things like meditation, workshop, expo, etc.

Is there a way to show all categories by default when someone submits a community event? I don’t like the small text they have to click on to expand them. People don’t always see (or read) things like that

Thanks for your help!
Greg

Hi Greg,

Sure! Try adding this to your theme’s style.css file or by using the Simple Custom CSS plugin:

#tribe-community-events #event-categories .hidden_category {
display: block;
}

#tribe-community-events #event-categories ul li.hidden_category {
display: block !important;
}

#show_hidden_categories {
display: none !important;
}

Will that work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

Perfect! Thanks Geoff!
