Upcoming Events List items

Hi there!

We have an article that will help you add categories to the list view here
https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/add-category-tags-to-list-view/

Let us know if that helps,
Gladys

Thank you Gladys, I read over the information you sent but it does me no good. As with most help stuff I get completely lost in the first sentence or two. This is no different. I just do not understand this stuff.

Thank you for trying to help.

I had to laugh at the first paragraph on that page.

Have you noticed that when you look at an archive page in WordPress (an archive page is basically just a post list view), they will display category tags below the title of each post?

What if I told you that this same feature could be accomplished with your Events in The Events Calendar?

Excited?? You should be, cuz it’s pretty simple!

The answer is NO, I have never looked at an archive page. NEVER, So I have no idea how it looks or what they are talking about. Then when I see the third paragraph and the words “Pretty Simple” I know for sure I am doomed. Then I read further about creating a child theme. Got no clue how to do that and again the article makes my head spin so I can not even get started trying to do as you have suggested.

I will try to mess with the code in the actual app itself and see if I can stumble on a solution. I do not read or write code. I am a cut and paste trial and error type. If I understood any of this it would be highly likely that I would not be here asking how to do things like this.

Heck I do not even understand this block head thing other than the fact it was designed by some block head..

Hi @thompsonaire

Thanks for your message.

If you’re not familiar with coding, you can use the Code Snippets plugin, which removes the need to add custom snippets to your theme’s functions.php file.

Go to Snippets > Add New, and add the following code snippets. Make sure you activate it for it to work.

// add the list of categories after the title
add_action( 'tribe_template_before_include:events/v2/list/event/venue', function() {
    global $post;
    ?>
    <ul class='tribe-event-categories'>
        <?php echo tribe_get_event_taxonomy( $post->ID ); ?>
    </ul>
    <?php
} );

After that, you should see the event’s category from your events list page.

Let me know if you have further questions or concerns.
