    I am trying to create a very simple list of the events that fulfil a particular criteria, without having to output more than just a particular attribute. I have spent days looking through the support site and perusing through the code, but can’t seem to find a simple way to access event attributes. For instance I would to query for the upcoming events, and have the result output in a list format as follows:

    <div class='single-event'>
  <div class="event-date'>[the_date_for_the_event]</div>
  <div class='event-img'>[the_image_for_the_event]</div>
  <div class='event-title'>[the_title_for_the_event]</div>
  <div class="description'>[a_short_excerpt_of _description]</div>
</div>

    A seen, there are four major attributes i’m trying to access: the date for the event, the post thumbnail, the title for the event, and a short excerpt. Is it possible to simply retrieve these values in my own template file that I have created?

  • PS – I even created a new category and placed one of the events that do not show up in it. The event still doesn’t show up. So it seems more specific to the event itself. The single event page shows the event as in the category, but the category list does not show it as being in that category.

    To complicate things further, these same events are in other categories in which they show up.

    The events in question also show up in the problem event categories when I use the category filter in the admin.

    Sorry for so many posts!

    hi @kathycac

    can you post this on a new thread to avoid confusions? however, try the snippet on this link – https://pastebin.com/tarTctZ7 ( e.g. function my_em_mod_category() )

    thanks

    Hi angelo_nwl,

    OK, sorry. I did start a new thread and you gave me some good info towards identifying what the field names are in the event post type. So I can use with get_post_meta().

    I will check this out as well.

    Thanks so much.
