Adding post_tag to an event in Events Manager

    When I add an Event in Events Manager I need to be able to give it a particuar post_tag.

    I cannot find a way to do this. Post tags are not visible as options on creating or editing an Event. I have several custom taxonomies and these appear just fine. And I can see where to add “Event tags”, but this seems to be different to “post_tags”? I say this because with Event tags there are no options to choose from, whereas in Pages and Posts I have a standard list of post_tags. (This leads me to think that Event tags are no relation to Post tags, but I may be wrong on this point?)

    Can anyone help?

  • Perhaps try if you display your events as posts? Events -> Settings -> Pages -> different kinds of pages.

    Hi,

    can I know where is this? Is this using the frontend event submission form?

    Hi Angelo
    No this is after an event has been created. So once its there I go to edit it. At that point I need to be able to add post_tags but there option isn’t there.

    @swb1 Thanks for the sy=uggestion but infortunately it made no difference. Ive tried displaying as both pages and posts. Ive also tried it with and without the “Override with Formats?” setting.

    peterhj, maybe this can help you out – https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/using-additional-custom-taxonomies/

    Thanks Angelo. No I can’t see an answer in there. I can add custom taxonomies from the edit screen, its just the normal post_tag set that I can’t access.

    If there is something on this page that explains what I need to do, I can’t see it.

    Sorry for the confusion, you’ve wanted to add a WP Post tag when creating or editing events?

    That’s right. Any thoughts on why this option isn’t available when I go to edit an event?

    It’s should be working fine both on the add and edit events; is this using the admin dashboard or frontend events management page?

    Thanks Angelo
    I can cofirm that it is both. Whether I am creating a new Event (ie Add Event) or editing one with the standard edit function, I am not given the option to add a tag. Custom taxonomies yes, tags no.

    btw, in the tutorial I shared above, did you already tried this snippet to use post tags and categories when creating events on the admin dashboard?

    
function my_em_own_taxonomy_register(){
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag',EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT);
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag',EM_POST_TYPE_LOCATION);
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('post_tag','event-recurring');
    
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category',EM_POST_TYPE_EVENT);
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category',EM_POST_TYPE_LOCATION);
    register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category','event-recurring');
}
add_action('init','my_em_own_taxonomy_register',100);
