Hi Guys,
I’m thinking to create a list of events that is related to my post event.
i tried to use this query below, but i cant find how to get the category of the event or the slug.
i actually try to dump the post (var_dump($post)) in order to see all useful infos but still i cant see the category/categoryname that i’ve inserted on the registered events.
Id like to know if theres a way to filter all event that is related to the event in wp_query? is this possible? please help thanks.
i would appreciate if you could get back to me as soonest.
thanks again.
<?php
$atts = array(
‘title’ => NULL,
‘limit’ => 100,
‘css_class’ => NULL,
‘show_expired’ => FALSE,
‘month’ => NULL,
‘category_slug’ => NULL,
‘order_by’ => ‘start_date’,
‘sort’ => ‘ASC’
);
// run the query
global $wp_query;
$wp_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );
if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
the_content();
endwhile; endif;
?>

Hi Ferdie,
I can suggest taking a look at the espresso_event_categories() template tag located in public/template_tags.php. It returns the event categories for the event.
One suggestion on the query: In this case it may be best to not use the $wp_query global here. Instead use something like this:
$event_tax_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );
if($event_tax_query->have_posts())
As an aside, it turns out that WordPress gives you category archives automatically. If you go to {yoursite.com}/event-category/{name-of-category-slug} you’ll see a list of events in one category. You can even add these views to you site’s navigation using the built in WordPress menu manager.

Hi Josh,
Thank you for your reply btw i do really appreciate it, one thing is i could not find the espresso_event_categories() template or the public/template_tags.php in event espresso 4,
also the
$event_tax_query = new EE_Event_List_Query( $atts );
if($event_tax_query->have_posts())
can i use some loop here? and display the list of the event that is related to one category?
i really need to fetch the category of one event, to display the some related events for the event.

Hi,
The espresso_event_categories function is in the template_tags.php file which is located at /wp-content/plugins/event-espresso-core-reg/public/template_tags.php
You can use that code to display events from a single category, here’s a version of the query that’s more fleshed out https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e3c9540cd4ccc734e755

Hello Dean,
Sorry it was my fault, i was looking at the previous version, yes i have seen the file already template_tags.php and its already working, but it include a tags like .
is there a way to cut or disable the link, and get only the values of the category?
Thank you for your prompt reply, i really appreciate it.

Hello,
oh sorry.. actually i have been fetched already the category using espresso_event_categories().. my only problem is the functions returns with a link tag, and i only need the string value, is it possible to strip the values that return in order to get the string and exclude the link tag.
$text = espresso_event_categories();
echo strip_tags($text);
i try using this code but its no use at all.
Thank you again.
