a thread asking to exclude a certain category<\/a> from all queries, but not for the administrator. I had found several topics but the snippets posted there did not seem to work for me: Whenever I used the list-view widget (TEC pro), all filters, even those set by the widget, were removed.<\/p>\nI have now managed to create a function that filters a specific category on all queries:<\/p>\n
function tribe_exclude_events_category( $wp_query ) {\r\n\/\/ only filter the query if the user cannot edit pages (< editor)\r\n\t\t if (!current_user_can('edit_pages')) {\r\n\t\t\t$exclude_cats = array('exclude-me'); \r\n\r\n\t\t\t\/\/ Join with current tax query if set\r\n\t\t\tif (is_array($wp_query->get( 'tax_query')))\r\n\t\t\t\t{$tax_query =$wp_query->get( 'tax_query');}\r\n\t\t\telse\r\n\t\t\t\t{$tax_query = array();}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t\/\/ Setup an exclude from the tribe_events_cat taxonomy\r\n\t\t\t$tax_query[] = array(\r\n\t\t\t\t'taxonomy' => Tribe__Events__Main::TAXONOMY, \/\/ sidebar ist: \"tribe_events_cat\"\r\n\t\t\t\t'field' => 'slug',\r\n\t\t\t\t'terms' => $exclude_cats,\r\n\t\t\t\t'operator' => 'NOT IN'\r\n\t\t\t);\r\n\r\n\t\t\t$wp_query->set('tax_query', $tax_query);\r\n\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\treturn $wp_query;\r\n}\r\n\r\nadd_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tribe_exclude_events_category', 10, 1 );<\/code><\/pre>\nThis is basically the code from this topic<\/a> with a couple of changes. The most significant is, that the wrong tax_query was selected by the snippet in the other thread:
\nIt must be $wp_query->get( 'tax_query')<\/code> instead of $wp_query->tax_query<\/code><\/p>\nI just wanted to share this with the TEC community – maybe it will be helpful for others in the future.<\/p>\n
Happy coding, everyone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1272009","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
