Hi,

I would like to make events appear on my home page within the main loop.

So far, this function makes all the ‘event’ custom post types show up on the home page
```
function events_in_home_loop( $query ) {
 if ( is_home() && $query->is_main_query() )
 $query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', 'event') );
 return $query;
 }
 add_filter( 'pre_get_posts', 'events_in_home_loop' );
```
However, I have added an event category called ‘Featured Events’, with the slug ‘featured-events’.

I would like to be able to filter the above query so that only the Events assigned to the ‘Featured Events’ category appear within the loop.

I am unsure of the syntax for filtering a query by an Events Manager category, as well as by ‘post_type’.

Can anyone help out?

Many thanks.

Hi,

You’d need to combine that code with a tax_query. This should help:

Thanks for your reply.

but I still don’t know how I can combine the above with the tax_query.
```
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'post',
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'people',
			'field'    => 'slug',
			'terms'    => 'bob',
		),
	),
);
$query = new WP_Query( $args );
```
I think I need to query both the standard post type, and the ‘event’ post type within my function.
Then I believe I need to filter the ‘event’ post_type by the custom taxonomy ‘featured-events’.
But I still have no idea how that would correspond to the tax_query array example above, or how I could adapt that to include both the post_type ‘post’ as well as ‘event’.

Would you be able to provide any additional clarification?

```
$args = array(
	'post_type' => 'event',
	'tax_query' => array(
		array(
			'taxonomy' => 'featured-events',
                       ),

               ),
);

$query->set( 'post_type', array( 'post', $args) );
return $query;
```
I know this is wrong but is this anywhere near close to what is needed?

this might require custom coding on your part which Im afraid we cannot help you out with the exact code however maybe this thread can help you out – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/displaying-events-with-wp_query-tags-not-working?replies=9
