Chris,
I add the following to my functions.php file:

function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home || $query->is_blog ) {$query->set('cat', '-1');}
return $query;}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category');

Where ‘-1’ is the category number assigned to your event posts.

I resolved this issue by utilizing the following code:
<?php foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) { $category->cat_name . ' '; } ?><a href="<?php echo get_category_link(get_cat_id($category->cat_name)); ?>"><?php echo $category->cat_name ?></a>

Thanks alchymyth. Perhaps I am missing something but I am not quite able to get this to work how I want it to. Placing <?php get_category_link( $category_id ); ?> does indeed get the parent to show up, but I am still unable to list the child.

For example I am able to get the parent “Success Stories” to be added to the link path, but the destination category e.g. “Administrative” does not get added.

Is there something that I am omitting?

Thanks!

The current code being used can be viewed here: https://pastebin.com/U8MKm8X4

I am still unable to figure out how to not show the child elements of a parent, while showing the child elements of an active parent. I am open to other methods of achieving this effect. Any and all suggestions welcomed as I am a bit stymied at this point.

Thanks!
Nathan

Excellent, that works like a charm. Thanks!!

** EDIT **
Ideally in this process I would also like to omit having the YEAR shown. (thanks!)

Thank you!
