Hello,

I want to output the category identifier a tag in my registration_list_display.php file so that I can modify my css based on the category. I’m able to output the category id using

<div id="event_espresso_registration_form" class="cat<?php echo $event->category_id; ?> which returns the correct category array – however, since it returns something like 1,9, I cannot alter it using css. Is there a way to use the category identifier or name?

Thanks,
Kindra

Hi,

You can use this shortcode – https://eventespresso.com/wiki/shortcodes-template-variables/#event-category

In the template file you would add it like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode("[CATEGORY_NAME event_id=" . $event->id . "]"); ?>
