Event Category

I’m not sure I follow 100% what you need to do, but if you need a sort of secondary classification you could use tags.

Bear in mind you can also create custom category templates using the format:

category-name-or-id.php

You’d change the name-or-id part to match the category you want to customize.

I would need to know how to add with the “Event Custom Field” and “Event Attributes” an existing “category” into a post (code wise).

Example:
“Post A” (https://spikypenguin.com/spw/?event=tom-jones) is in event category “Music”.
I want to also place “Post A” in the category “News & Events” (category 64).

I’m not sure I understand either. Are you trying to link an event with a normal category (not event category?)

If so, read this – https://wp-events-plugin.com/tutorials/using-additional-custom-taxonomies/

That is exactly correct :). And i am trying to do so using the
“Settings – General Options – Event custom fields – Event Attributes”. But i am not sure what to write :s

I read a lot on Taxonomies and Custom Posts Types and i have found two things. One there must be a place in the code that “filters” the taxonomy on the event page of what we can see (when we click “create event”) to only show the “Event” taxonomy.
I have also found this piece of code
‘taxonomies’ => array( ‘post_tag’, ‘category’)
which apparently makes all WP taxonomy appear. It says to place it in the function.php of the theme but it make the site crash because of the => (Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_DOUBLE_ARROW…).
I am a newbie when it comes to code. I’d appreciate any help. thanks again.

You shouldn’t have a problem when using the code samples in the link Marcus gave. Don’t forget there are a couple of plugins listed at the top of that page that can create custom taxonomies for you – might save a headache or two.

Hi Caimin, unfortunately no luck. I could not find where in the .php files to add/change or remove the code that would allow me to add the taxonomy/category of WP.

if you can’t do this via code, see some of the recommended plugin in that link I posted.

Hi Marcus. I tired several plugin but all without luck.

What happened when you tried the plugin?

if you still can’t get this to work, you may want to consider hiring someone to help you dig further into your specific install. the tutorial above should do the trick in most cases.
