Jonah,
When I view the page source for the gridview.php category pages I see that the taxonomy is “tribe_events_cat”, but I don’t see how to differentiate between the categories.Ok, Thanks. Most events are not categorized yet as this site is live. Once I get the categories working, we’ll update the events. I do have test events out there that are categorized for testing purposes.
I’m going to try and display the sidebar differently using widget logic. I’m having trouble figuring out which conditional statements might work as it doesn’t really recognize the “events categories” as true “post categories”. Can you tell me how I can set up my conditional statements to target my events categories?
Thanks again!Thanks. I got it to work by going back to the basic grid.php. However, I lose my sidebars. Any idea why?
Also, (assuming my categories were working), when I page to the previous month or next month, I exit my category and just go to /events/2012-04 for example. From your comments, I understood that if I used your category pages, the previous and next functionality would also reflect the category. Did I misunderstand this?
Thanks in advance for your help!Jonah, I’m able now to turn my focus back to this project. The good news is that using your conditional statement(s) in gridview.php I was able to display different content before and after the calendar for my different categories. The bad news is that my category filtered calendars don’t seem to be working for some reason. I have four categories that should display on these four pages respectively.

But, if you see the test events I’ve created, it shows that somehow those categories aren’t being filtered properly.
Any ideas as to why or what I can do to resolve this?Given your comments above, maybe it’s easier to just start over using your default category display page. However, the category templates that I need to reproduce have different content before the calendar. I see in settings > the events calendar > template that I can add html before the calendar. I would like to be able to add conditional php code so I could display different content depending on my category. It doesn’t look like I can use php there. Any ideas on how I can do this?
Jonah,
If you look here http://rudeetours.com/ and scroll over tours, you’ll see the four categories. Each category has a different page template started by the other developer but not coded for the categories, just the page layout. So, I need to know how to include just one specific category (or how to exclude the other three.
It’s possible I’m making this too difficult. Is there another way to get the desired results?Jonah,
In reference to your post on 4/10, can you give a little more instruction please. I’ve got four templates for four categories. I now need to eliminate three non-active categories for each template. I’m not sure what I should put in my template and where.
I’m studying this and am obviously missing something.

I’ve got this working. Yeah! I’m not really sure why, but they weren’t working so I downgraded to 2.0.3 and they still didn’t work. Discouraged, I reverted back to 2.0.5 again and they worked. I don’t understand what that did, but I’ll take it! Now, I’m working on the category issue on the third site. I’ll post to that thread soon.
Thanks for your help!Rob, I got this to work, but not really sure how or why. I downgraded to 2.0.3 and the links still didn’t work. I then reverted back to 2.0.5 and they started working… Make any sense to you?
