How can I display my event tags?

One of the solution for this is creating shortcode to display events tags and add it in footer using text widget.

//Create shortcode 'event_tags'
add_shortcode('event_tags','fun_display_event_tags');
function fun_display_event_tags()
{
        $separator =',';
	//Check if current page is single event page
	if(is_single() && get_post_type($id)=='tribe_events')
	{
		$id = get_the_ID();
		echo $list      = get_the_term_list( $id, 'post_tag', '<dt> Tags </dt><dd class="tribe-event-tags">', $separator, '</dd>' );
	}

       // If you want to display tags of all events then add following code
       $list = get_categories(
                       array(
					'type'                     => 'tribe_events',
					'orderby'                  => 'name',
					'order'                    => 'ASC',
					'taxonomy'                 => 'post_tag',

				)
                );
		foreach($list as $tag)
		{
			echo $tag->name;
		}

}

Howdy gaffnere,

Did WisdmLabs awesome solution/code work? If a shortcode isn’t ideal, you could still easily adapt that code into a widget or just directly add the PHP where you need it.

Thanks so much for the code, WisdmLabs! I really appreciate it!
I am afraid I have never created a shortcode before though so not quite sure what to do now…

Thanks for the suggestion of simply lobbing the PHP into my site in the footer, Brook. If I were to do it this way, what from the above do I need to include?

Many thanks again for your help guys ??

Hi again, WisdmLabs, Brook,

Thanks so much for the above code. I am very excited to try it.

Ridiculous question but – WisdmLabs, can you please clarify where I should add that code? I have tried adding it to my functions.php file, with the following code just above it:

add_filter( 'widget_text', 'shortcode_unautop' );
add_filter( 'widget_text', 'do_shortcode' );

I then added [event_tags] to a text widget in my footer.

Was this incorrect? Because it isn’t working for me.

Thanks again!

EDIT:

I have realised that WordPress’ Tag Cloud widget will in fact do this trick for me… Just needs one alteration:

I have set the Tag Cloud taxonomy to “Tags”. When a user clicks on a tag in the footer, however, only upcoming events with this tag will be shown…

How do I get it to show all events with this tag – upcoming and past?

Thanks!

Hey @gaffnere,

To get an events list to display both “Past” an “Upcoming” events, your best bet is to use the tribe_get_events() function. You can learn more about this function here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-tribe_get_events/
