Hi there,
Hopefully someone can help. I’ve been looking for a way to display the event category on the event list page (yes, I’m creating a custom archive template). I keep seeing this code which should do what I want:
`do_shortcode(‘[CATEGORY_NAME event_id=”‘.$event_id.'”]’)
I’m substituting event_id for post->ID since I’m within a loop but it’s just returning the text of the shortcode, eg: [CATEGORY_NAME EVENT_ID=”310″] actually appears on screen in the place where I want the category name to display.
The ID is correct – but the shortcode isn’t working. I’m assuming this is a difference between EE3 and 4.
What’s the v4 equivalent please?
Cheers,
Min

Hi Min,
EE4 doesn’t actually use shortcodes to show this type of data because EE4 events are custom post types. So you can use native WordPress functions instead. I can point you to these references:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_terms/
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_term_list/
The $taxonomy registered for EE event categories is:
espresso_event_categories

Perfect – thank you. I’ve gotten it working using get_the_terms 🙂
