Using Category (or similiar)

    I’ve been using Event Manager so clubs can signup to help with concessions.

    I bought the PRO plugin so I can do a payment gateway for a clinic we want to run.

    I don’t want the Clinic to show up on the Concessions page.

    I thought creating a category would help. I created a category of Concessions (and made it the default) and another called clinic. For the Clinic event I assigned the category of clinic to it.

    How do I get the https://www.ntboosterclub.org/events page to only show concessions category and create a page for the clinic?

    I imagine shortcakes might be needed.

    If categories aren’t the way to do this, I’m open to others.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi, EM user here too ??
    Using Event Categories is indeed the way to go for this. ??

    The “problem” is, that the default Events List Page does not use arguments that a shortcode can use. There is a rather simple workaround, though.

    If you set Events > Settings > Pages > Events List > Events Page to empty, you will loose the ability to use get_option('dbem_events_page'). Some payment gateways use that as return page, so it’s better so leave that unchanged.

    Assuming that the clinic has event category ID 2.
    Go to your Events Page in Pages/Posts. Replace “CONTENTS” with [events_list category="-2"]. (-2 will exclude Cat ID 2). Then, at the end of that content section add: <div style="display:none;">CONTENTS</div>
    Adding that hidden div will prevent EM from overwriting the Events List Page content, while still keeping the dbem_events_page setting.

    To create a new list for the Clinic Events, showing only cat ID 2:
    Pages > Add New. Set as content: [events_list category="2"].

    Also, may I suggest you changing your WordPress Display Name? It is now your email address. Displaying that publicly will result in loads of spam.
