Edit Events Page show Category

HOW DO I FIX THE CATEGORIES I KEEP GETTING PAGE NOT FOUND. FOR EXAMPLE I COMPLETED AN EVENT FOR THE EDUCATION SECTION FOR TESTING, WHEN I CLICK ON CATEGORY EDUCATION I GET PAGE NOT FOUND. HERE IS WHAT IT READS:

https://theiepost.com/events/categories/education-2/

@wardlacey, you will probably have better luck creating your own new post, so the admins can see it.

Any idea why

<?php
global $post;
$categories = get_the_category($post->ID);
var_dump($event-categories);
?>

pulls in int(0)?

@caimin_nwl, the function you mentioned I could run from inside the template I’m editing for get_the_category, do you think it should be something similar to the above? If it’s a simple tweak, I would REALLY REALLY appreciate it.

Sorry, I gave you the wrong function earlier – please don’t kill me ??

Try using something like this instead:

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'event-categories' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo $term->name;
}

Just tested it and it works fine. Sorry again for sending off in the wrong direction.

Thank you so much for the follow-up as I REALLY appreciate the help!

Should I just wrap that in php tags? Doing so gave me an error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/tables/events.php on line 117

<?php
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'event-categories' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo $term->name;
}
?>

I was thinking it might be get_the_terms as my research led me that way. I even tried some get_the_terms code as well just for the fun of it! ??

Well, I got a little closer (not sure if on the right track or not though:

$terms = get_terms("event-categories");
 if ( !empty( $terms ) && !is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
     echo "<ul>";
     foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
       echo "<li>" . $term->name . "</li>";

     }
     echo "</ul>";
 }

Doing that pulls in all the categories. This is however the 1st time I was able to show something related to categories, lol.

Do you think I need to modify the code you provided above, to prevent the error I was receiving?

Where are you putting this code?

wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/tables/events.php

I have this at the top:

<th><?php _e ( 'Category', 'dbem' ); ?></th>

And then your code is between <td> </td>, after the other <td> section for Name and before the <td> section for date/time.

I tried including this, but then it doesn’t return anything:

if (is_array($terms))
{

The reason why I tried that, is I read for the specific error I’m receiving, it can be caused if the argument for the foreach is empty.

@caimin_nwl, where did you put your code? I would definitely try out any other locations or methods that got yours to work! Also, I can disable my restricted access to the site in case you want/need to take a look.

Hmm I know I’m so close, but can’t seem to get around the error “Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /intranet/wp-content/plugins/events-manager/templates/tables/events.php on line 117”

…line 117 being: foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

I am unfortunately set to launch very shortly, and I really was hoping to get categories to show and in my usage need, it’s very important. Any more tips or suggestions you could provide would be VERY much appreciated.

I just tried this on a new install, and I get the same error code. I’m very confused.

<?php
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'event-categories' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo $term->name;
}
?>

On the main events.php template (events-manager\templates\tables\events.php), all I did was chance line 61 from

<th>?</th>

to

<th><?php _e ( ‘Category’, ‘dbem’ ); ?></th>

Then on line 116, I removed:

<a href="<?php echo esc_url(add_query_arg(array('action'=>'event_duplicate', 'event_id'=>$EM_Event->event_id, '_wpnonce'=> wp_create_nonce('event_duplicate_'.$EM_Event->event_id)))); ?>" title="<?php _e ( 'Duplicate this event', 'dbem' ); ?>">									<strong>+</strong>
								</a>

and replaced with

<?php
$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'event-categories' );
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo $term->name;
}
?>

I get the same error: “Invalid argument supplied for foreach()”, pointing to foreach ( $terms as $term ) {

It’s so odd, as I can pull in ALL categories, I just can’t pull in the associated category. This pulls in all:

$terms = get_terms("event-categories");
if ( !empty( $terms ) && !is_wp_error( $terms ) ){
echo "<ul>";
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
echo "<li>" . $term->name . "</li>";

}
echo "</ul>";
}

When I use the following, it returns blank:

$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID , 'event-categories' );
foreach ( (array)$terms as $term ) {
echo $term->name;
}
