How can I add a existing category to an Event/Event-Page?
I want to show only Posts of an specific category on the startpage and mix general news(teaser) from an page with events (teaser).

Hi there,
You can use a plugin like this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/
to display a list of posts from a category on an event page (by using a shortcode).

Hey Josh, thanks for your answer.
So it’s not possible to add the events to an Category?
I’ve used this funktion to add them to my Post-Overview:
// Event to Post
function add_espresso_events_to_posts( $WP_Query ) {
if ( $WP_Query instanceof WP_Query && ( $WP_Query->is_feed || $WP_Query->is_posts_page || ( $WP_Query->is_home && ! $WP_Query->is_page ) || ( isset( $WP_Query->query_vars['post_type'] ) && ( $WP_Query->query_vars['post_type'] == 'post' || is_array( $WP_Query->query_vars['post_type'] ) && in_array( 'post', $WP_Query->query_vars['post_type'] ) ) ) ) ) {
//if post_types ARE present and 'post' is not in that array, then get out!
if ( isset( $WP_Query->query_vars['post_type'] ) && $post_types = (array) $WP_Query->query_vars['post_type'] ) {
if ( ! in_array( 'post', $post_types ) ) {
return;
}
} else {
$post_types = array( 'post' );
}
if ( ! in_array( 'espresso_events', $post_types )) {
$post_types[] = 'espresso_events';
$WP_Query->set( 'post_type', $post_types );
}
return;
}
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'add_espresso_events_to_posts', 10 );
Is there no way to add a category to this Post?
Or do you have an other idea how I can delimit the Posts (without CSS – display:none;)

I’m sorry I’m not 100% clear on what exactly you mean by “add a category to this Post”. Do you mean adding the built-in WordPress “category” taxonomy to events? If so, you can add the following code to your site into a functions plugin:
add_filter( 'FHEE__EE_Register_CPTs__get_CPTs__cpts', 'ee_modify_taxonomies_of_event_espresso_cpt' );
function ee_modify_taxonomies_of_event_espresso_cpt( $cpt_registry_array ) {
if ( isset( $cpt_registry_array['espresso_events'] ) ) {
$cpt_registry_array['espresso_events']['args']['taxonomies'] = array(
'espresso_event_categories',
'espresso_event_type',
'category'
);
}
return $cpt_registry_array;
}

That’s great!
Now I can add a built in WordPress category to an event.
But do you have any ideas why its not shown by using this:
<?php
query_posts( array(
'category_name' => 'example-category',
) );
?>
Do you understand what I want to do?

I do not understand, but you really should not use query_posts(). Here’s a link to the WP Codex that shows an example of how to query by a taxonomy term:
