    Hi everyone

    i added the main wordpress categories as categories in the tribe_events content type and now i want to add it in the query_posts arguments to filter by category (not the tribe events categories), however the ‘cat’=>$category_id does not filter the results. Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Howdy tolisp,

    How did you add the main WordPress categories? Did you do it from WP Admin > Events > Categories? If so, then you actually created new categories in a separate WP Taxonomy, but used the same name as the existing one.

    You would need to merge WP Taxonomies somehow in order to do what you are trying to accomplish. I am not sure where to begin with that, it would be a pretty involved change and would require directly modifying the plugin in a number of areas, everywhere it references the taxonomy ‘tribe_events_cat’. And that’s just one of the hurdles you are likely to face.

    I just googled it and see that there are some plugins which try to allow you to merge taxonomies. But, we definitely have not tested with them. You might give a tool or script like that a whirl, but definitely back up first. I would not be surprised if it backfires.

    Cheers!
