Custom Category Shortcode

Hi,

I’m running in to some trouble with using custom categories in short codes.

Below is the code I have added to functions.php – I’m assuming that’s where the code on this page should be copied to: https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/using-additional-custom-taxonomies/

However when I try filter by category using e.g [events_list custom_category=5] it outputs every single event regardless of what category they have.

Am I doing something wrong with the code, I’ve tried following the tutorial but can’t get it to work.

Also for some reason when I create a recurring event with a custom taxonomy the taxonomy isn’t being saved for the individual recurrences – again have I done something wrong with the code to cause this?

As ever any advice is greatly appreciated.

Ian
