Excluding categories from [categories_list]

Try this:

[categories_list hide_empty="1" category="-26"]

[categories_list hide_empty="1" category="-26"]

I didn’t have any luck with that either.

What do you see? Nothing, or the wrong categories?

Does this work?

[events_list category="-26"]

[events_list category="-26"]

The above gives me a correctly-filtered list of events.

[categories_list category="-26"]

This gives me a list of all categories, including the one with tag_ID = 26.

I’m getting the same thing, looks like a bug. I’ll let the developers know.

A workaround would be use the events_list shortcode. You can use it with placeholders to get the formatting you want, like this:

[events_list category="-26"] #_CATEGORYNAME [/events_list]

https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/placeholders/

sorry for the delay, but this this isn’t a bug actually, see our search term docs for categories (https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/event-search-attributes/), it only accepts those values provided in WP’s get_terms function so you’d use:

[categories_list exclude=”26″]

That’s what I tried in the first place!

I don’t know what changed, but this syntax is working for me now. Maybe I’m using it differently and am not aware of it, or maybe it was a false alarm. Thanks for all the suggestions.

[categories_list hide_empty="1" exclude="26"]
