filter events by "featured event"

[fbit]

I’ve created a loop that gets events successfully.
The array I pass in to WP_Query looks like this:

$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
) ;

So far so good…

Now, I’ve added an Event Category called ‘featured’. I’d like my loop to just get “featured events”.

I figure that Event Categories are custom taxonomies. So I tried this:

$args = array(
‘post_type’ => ‘tribe_events’,
‘tax_query’ => array(
array(
‘taxonomy’ => ‘tribe_events_cat’,
‘field’ => ‘slug’,
‘terms’ => ‘featured’
)
)
) ;

Unfortunately, this query fails, and the loop returns no results.

So, what do I need to pass in to the loop arguments in order to get back events filtered by an Event Categories ?

Thanks

Hi I can help you out with this.

Try replacing the tax_query array with this:

'tribe_events_cat'=>'featured'

Let me know if that works.

Hey Brian.
That works great!

Thank you.

Great, glad it helps, I am going to go ahead and close this ticket, but if you need any other on something else please post a new ticket.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5
