I am using the shortcode ESPRESSO_EVENTS. I see that I can list events from a category with this syntax from the categories page: [ESPRESSO_EVENTS category_slug=”private-events-1412787588″]

I would like to exclude one category. Is that possible?

clarification: I want to list all categories except private-events.

Hi,

No it can’t.

If you are OK with PHP, you may be better off doing an actual query to exclude that category. Here is an example query

https://gist.github.com/joshfeck/e3c9540cd4ccc734e755

It uses standard WP_Query parameters, plus some EE specific ones (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query).

Dean, thanks for the reply. Yes, I am familiar with PHP. Unfortunately the above code does not help, because it does NOT accept standard WP_Query parameters. It only accepts EE_Event_List_Query parameters. I tried to filter out the EE categories, using both a regular wp_query, and a EE_Event_List_Query. It doesn’t appear to work either way.

If the EE Category could be added to the CSS classes on the article element that would help a lot. Possible?

Hi, are you referring to something like this?

Hi Lorenzo, nice find! With that thing I can hide certain categories.

Actually, I think you guys should add more parameters to the shortcode, but this is a good workaround.

I’m using wp_query. Is it possible to exclude a specific category here.
