Solution if anyone ever needs it:

<div id="ca-container" class="ca-container">
		<div class="ca-wrapper">
			<?php
				global $post;

				$current_date = date('j M Y');
				/* get upcoming 30 day event, you can edit this to less day */
				$end_date = date('j M Y', strtotime('180 days'));

				$terms = get_terms( 'tribe_events_cat', array(
 	'exclude'    => '3,9,27,31,26,14',
	'parent' => '0',
 	'hide_empty' => 1
 ));
				$i = 1;

				foreach($terms as $tribe_category) {

				echo '<div class="ca-item ca-item-'.$i.' '.$tribe_category->slug.'">'; $i++;

				/* Featured Event */

				$all_events_one = tribe_get_events(
						array(
								'post_type' 	=> 'tribe_events',
								'start_date'    => $current_date,
								'end_date'      => $end_date,

								'posts_per_page'=> 3,
								'offset'        => 1,

										array(

											'terms' => $tribe_category
										)
								)
						)
				);

				foreach($all_events_one as $post) {
					setup_postdata($post); ?>

			<div class="ca-item-main">

            	<div class="event-thumb">

		} // end foreach($terms as $tribe_category)
?>
      </div>
      <!-- ca-wrapper -->
    </div>
    <!-- ca-container -->

Html output should have looked like this:

<ul>
li class="term1">Term1,</li>
<li class="term2">Term2,</li>
<li class="term3">Term3</li>
</ul>

Much better thanks.

I appear to have fixed it by adding a simple global $post; at the top of the loop.

What a useful reply that is Samuel.

It doesn’t work for me either, I’m trying to use the following code, which works fine in the template, but not when I use it in the widget:

<?php $custom_taxterms = wp_get_object_terms( $post->ID, 'tribe_events_cat', array('fields' => 'ids') );
$args = array(
'post_type' => 'tribe_events',
'post_status' => 'publish',
'posts_per_page' => 3,
'orderby' => 'rand',
'tax_query' => array(
    array(
        'taxonomy' => 'tribe_events_cat',
        'field' => 'id',
        'terms' => $custom_taxterms
    )
),
'post__not_in' => array ($post->ID),
);
$related_items = new WP_Query( $args );
if ($related_items->have_posts()) :
echo '<div>';
while ( $related_items->have_posts() ) : $related_items->the_post();
?>
    <div>
    	<h4><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h4>
        <h5><meta itemprop="startDate" content="<?php echo tribe_get_start_date( null, false, 'Y-m-d-h:i:s' ); ?>"/><?php echo tribe_get_start_date(); ?></h5>
        <p><?php echo excerpt(20); ?></p>
    </div>
<?php
endwhile;
echo '</div>';
endif;
wp_reset_postdata();
?>

Only thing sent was order receipt containing links to wp-admin, but all ok, I’m in now.

Quick unrelated question; what details do I use to login to the PRO forums?

Thanks but can’t be arsed to re-code. I’ll do without.

Sorry should have mentioned, I also need to exclude a category used by my homepage slider. So far I have this:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms(get_the_ID(), 'tribe_events_cat');
        $count = count($terms);
        foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
                    if($term->term_id != 3) { // the term ID you want to exclude
                    echo $term->slug;
            }
        }?>

How would I add a comma separator to Jonah’s code?

Ignore me, I’ve spotted that the theme was pulling it in in the footer.

It seems to work if you delete the original plugin, then re-install a fresh version with 3.5 in place.

I can confirm that an else statement will work like so:

<?php if (class_exists( 'kdMultipleFeaturedImages') && kd_mfi_get_the_featured_image('logo-featured', 'projects')) { ?>
<li>
	<?php kd_mfi_the_featured_image('logo-featured', 'projects' );?>
</li>
 <?php } else { ?>
 <img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory');?>/images/link-plus.gif" width="9" height="9" />
<?php } ?>

a-ha! I have managed to get my code to work like so:

<?php if (class_exists( 'kdMultipleFeaturedImages') && kd_mfi_get_the_featured_image('web-featured', 'projects')) { ?>
<li>
	<?php kd_mfi_the_featured_image('web-featured', 'projects' );?>
</li>
<?php } ?>

Therefore surely you should be able to add an else statement to that giving you a fallback image. I think.

I also think I should learn php.

Obviously my code doesn’t have a fallback, but surely you should be able to add in an else to my if?

Once my if works… ??

I’m nearly there. I’m playing around with this but it’s not quite right. Perhaps this is a springboard for someone who actually knows php? ??

<?php
if(kd_mfi_get_the_featured_image('web-featured', 'projects')) {
	$slider1 = "kd_mfi_the_featured_image( 'web-featured', 'projects', 'large' );";
	echo "<li>$slider1</li>";
}
?>
