Hello!<\/p>\n

I have read and tried the advice at the following topic: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/passing-a-category-filter-to-the_widget\/,<\/p>\n

however, I’m wondering if there’s a simple way to get pass a page’s category into the shortcode:<\/p>\n

` \t\t\t\t<?php <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\techo do_shortcode( ‘[tribe_events_list category=”dental” limit=”4″]’ );<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t ?><\/p>\n

and instead of “dental” I want the category to equal the category of the Page I’m on (i.e. category=”dental” on the Dental page; category=”construction” on the Construction page). and I want to do this at the Template level, so that it is automatic.<\/p>\n

Thank you SO much for any help you can provide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-1568420","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nPassing a template's category to the tribe_events_list shortcode -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/support\/forums\/topic\/passing-a-templates-category-to-the-tribe_events_list-shortcode\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Passing a template's category to the tribe_events_list shortcode -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hello!
