Additionally information to the categories: Both categories are created as parent-categorie. That means none of them has a parent. I think this should be fine(?).

Hi Christian,
It should work. Did you add the category slug as variable for the cat attribute?
Guido
Hi Guido,
did you see the shortcodes in my request? The the event_cat attribute is included in both.
[vsel event_cat=”upcoming-events” posts_per_page=”30″]
[vsel event_cat=”shows-conferences” posts_per_page=”30″ no_events_ext=”Currently there are no shows & conferences planned.”]
Is something missing there?

Hi Christian,
Yes I did. I meant, is “shows-conferences” the slug of the event category?
But now I think it might be caused by something else, the type of quotation marks you’re using in your shortcode: opening/closing double quote instead of straight double quote.
Guido
ps. no_events_ext should be no_events_text
Hi Guido,
I am not sure what are you meaning with “slug of the event category”, but I have two main categories: upcoming-events (7 events) and shows-conferences (1 event).
And I tried it with ″…″ and ”…”. It is wired…
If I use the normal “…” (shift + 2), it ignores the categories and shows all events, does not matter which category.
If I use the straight ”…” it shows only one event from the upcoming-events category.
I have no clue how I could fix it and what would be wrong. I additionally have installed the plugin WP Timeline. Maybe this is a problem? But actually it should not…
Best regards

Hi,
With slug I mean the last part of the URL. But it’s also there at the category page in dashboard.
You did add the straight double quotes for each of the attributes? This is how it should be. Otherwise shortcode breaks.
That plugin hooks into the post query. So yes, there’s a chance it affects the event list. But I have to test it myself to be certain.
Guido
Hi Guido,
of course, I replaced every of the “.
Also, I tried the VSEL plugin on a different homepage, where is no other timeline or event plugin installed. The categories don’t work there either.
From my point of view the plugin is not working as it should (with the categories).So, I have the only choice to delete it and use another one. Pity! I would have liked the simple design and the maintenance. But without categories it doesn’t make sense for my homepage. If that works reliably, the plugin will come into question again for me.
Nevertheless, thank you for your answers.
Best regards

Hi Christian,
I don’t know why it’s not working over there, but over here it works flawlessly. For years.
I’m willing to take a look at your site but in that case I need a temp admin login. If you agree with this, please let me know how I can reach you outside this forum.
Guido
Of course, that would be great.
How can I send you the login data? I don’t want to post it here.

I agree, never post (temp) login here.
Can I reach you via your website? Because I don’t want to post my email address here.
Guido
Write me your mail to [email protected] please.

I’m marking this topic resolved. Not clear what went wrong but it’s working now.
