Hi, I’m trying to add some custom filters to the events bar and found this chunk of code here: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/understanding-the-tribe-events-bar\/<\/p>\n

add_filter( ‘tribe_events_pre_get_posts’, ‘setup_my_bar_field_in_query’, 10, 1 );<\/p>\n

function setup_my_bar_field_in_query( $query ){
\n\tif ( !empty( $_REQUEST[‘tribe-bar-my-field’] ) ) {
\n\t\t$query->query_vars[‘my_var’] = $_REQUEST[‘tribe-bar-my-field’];
\n\t}<\/p>\n

\treturn $query;
\n}<\/p>\n

Can somebody give me more insight into what actually happens once this value is set in the query_vars array? Does it add a meta query to the main query with key->’my_var’ value->$_REQUEST[‘tribe-bar-my-field’] compare->’=’? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-947090","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\nEvent bar query customization -<\/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\/event-bar-query-customization\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Event bar query customization -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Hi, I’m trying to add some custom filters to the events bar and found this chunk of code here: https:\/\/theeventscalendar.com\/knowledgebase\/understanding-the-tribe-events-bar\/ add_filter( ‘tribe_events_pre_get_posts’, ‘setup_my_bar_field_in_query’, 10, 1 );
