Showing a list of events belonging to one category

  • I have 5 categories and I would like to set up 5 pages each to show only events from a specific category. It seems to me a template of some sorts would do the job, but I can’t find any instructions for this.

    I really don’t understand the settings page where ‘single category page’ might do the job. But where do I implement this? How do I use it and filter for a single category?

    Can someone walk me though this? I copied the template folder over to my theme child folder but none of the templates appeared and I have no idea how it works

    do you have any errors? are you in multisite or buddypress mode?

    On my own domain. No, nothing. But then I am looking at a page and seeing if the templates show up in the drop down box. I might not even be looking in the right place.

    OK, please ignore me, Actually, laugh at my stupidity. Noscript was blocking some of the documentation. I finally realised this and found the short code to display in a page. I changed it to show a category e.g. [events_list limit=”10″ category=”5″]

    It worked, no template or modding faffery needed. I’m not sure if the above short code will only show future events. If it will also show past events, how would I avoid this?

    try this link:

    Thank you!

    What if we do not want to use any shortcode? I need to show all the events on the site and then sort them by date( most recent first ) and then I need to get the date, the exercept and the category out. Any Ideas?

    thx

    please try to read tutorials at EM homepage @ https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/

    thx, but dint work out much. Could not find a way to make it work. The more I look at it the more I feel that this documentation dont have have all the information it is supposed to have. I ended using the widget instead. I modified it according to my needs.

    I have another question, I found this attribute by digging throught the code: #_CATEGORYEVENTSNEXT Which allows me to see all the events belonging to a specific category, the only problem is that the events are not clickable. Is there a way to do so? ( #_CATEGORYEVENTSLINK or something?

    Thank you

    P.S. Before you ask, Yes I’ve read the documentation.

    about #_CATEGORYEVENTSNEXT;

    try adding this <li>#_EVENTLINK - #j #M #Y - #H:#i</li> to the Setting > Location Format > Default events list format

    Awesome! Thx a lot.
