Hi there,

The category option in the submission form will display all categories you have created.

Hope that helps.

Best,

Chris

What if we try removing 'Featured' category from being an Events subcategory in the first place?

Will the 'Featured' category appear in that list on the Submit event page?

You bet! :-)

If you're enjoying the theme, PLEASE don't forget to rate it on your downloads page on ThemeForest. Positive ratings REALLY help me out.

Thanks!

Hi there,

The slider on the demo site is using the "Events" category to populate content, which is why you don't see something like "featured" in the category drop down on the submit page.

To exclude categories, open up post-form.php and locate the following on line 211...

<?php wp_dropdown_categories( 'show_option_none='.__('Select','themolitor').'&taxonomy=category&child_of='.$eventCat ); ?>

You'll need to determine the id of the featured category you created (let's say it's "9") and update the code above to something like this...

<?php wp_dropdown_categories( 'show_option_none='.__('Select','themolitor').'&taxonomy=category&child_of='.$eventCat.'&exclude=9'); ?>

Notice I've added .'&exclude=9' towards the end. Again, be sure to change "9" to the id value of the category you created.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Hi there

I only wanted certain events to appear in the homepage slider so I created a category called 'Featured' and that all seems to be working great.

The only problem is when someone goes to the 'Submit Event' form page and uses the drop-down field called 'Event Type' the 'Featured' category appears in that list. Is there a way to make 'Featured' disappear?

I notice it doesn't appear in your site demo.

Many Thanks
