Community Events Tags option

[lloydy1980]

When logged in as a user there is no option to create event tags and in the settings there is no option to activate or deactivate the tab. Can you provide code please so that the the tab for having tags can be removed? As when you have 1000 events you’ll end up with a gigantic list of tags which looks daft on mobile even with 20. Thanks

Hi @lloydy1980

Thanks for reaching out.
I’m sorry, I don’t exactly understand what you would like to achieve.

Would you like to:
– totally disable the usage of event tags in the backend and frontend
– hide the tags on the frontend
– hide the tags on the frontend only in mobile view

Thanks for clarifying!

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Yes removing the event tags all together will be the best option. From front and back end. Otherwise I will end up with gigantic list! Which on mobile when creating an event is long enough as it is with just 30 tags. never mind after thousands of people will create some. Hope that makes sense? Thanks

Any update on this one please?

Try copying this in your child theme’s functions.php file:

add_action( 'init', 'unregister_tribe_events_tags' );

function unregister_tribe_events_tags() {
	unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'tribe_events' );
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Andras

Here’s a shorter form:

add_action( 'init', function () { unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'post_tag', 'tribe_events' ); } );

Hello. I have tried both versions and can confirm that none of them remove the option not to include tags on the front end. Did this work on your end? Can you also look at both of my other messages below this chat? Thank you guys

Hey @lloydy1980

Both of them worked for me. When I added them to functions.php and reloaded the dashboard, then:
– the ‘Tags’ menu point did not appear any more under ‘Events’
– When creating an event the ‘Tags’ section did not appear any more on the right side
– When trying to add an event through the Community Events add-on from the front-end I could not see the Tags option any more.

Hi. I am using the code snippets plugin and I have now tested on my staging site and live site and nothing at all changes. Tags are on back-end and front end. I have copied and pasted exactly, as per below:

add_action( ‘init’, function () { unregister_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘post_tag’, ‘tribe_events’ ); } );

[Andras Guseo]

Can you try adding it to the functions.php file of your child theme?

A.

[lloydy1980]

Hello. When you have a code snippets plugin, it does not allow adding to child theme php. It does not save from the php options. Why does the code not work from a code snippets? Thank you

[lloydy1980]

Can you check if this works from within the main code snippets plugin please?

[lloydy1980]

Hi. Or some CSS if you could. I can add this to my theme from the customiser. If the code snippets does not work for yourself? Thank you

[Andras Guseo]

Try this css:

.tribe_community_edit .tribe-section-taxonomy {
	display: none;
}

This should hide that section.
