Hi,

Looking for some help on displaying events from a certain category on my home page, without using a shortcode.

I’ve already got a dropdown box which is populated with all the events available, but I want to tailor this to show only certain events.

It’s set up as follows:

<?php 

              $args = array(
                'post_type' => 'espresso_events'
              );

              $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

            ?>

            <?php if( have_posts() ): ?> 
            <select onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')" class="form-control">
			          <option value="">Please select a course...</option>
                <?php while( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post(); ?>
			          <option value="<?php espresso_event_link_url(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></option>
                <?php endwhile; ?>
			      </select>

            <?php wp_reset_postdata();?>

            <?php endif; ?>

This works great. I just need to know which parameter to add to the custom query to refine the result.

I tried ‘event_category’, ‘category_id’ and several others but to no avail – would appreciate any help!

Cheers
Michael
