RSS feed by category

Thanks I have added that code to the Functions.php file.

However, I am now just looking for the url for the text based RSS feed – the url provides a ics feed of events for a calendar instead

Thanks for that – unfortunately this still pulls all the events into the RSS feed, not just the online category events.

I’ve tried playing with the URL and it still doesn’t work.

Any ideas gratefully received!

Thanks @joneiseman, I really appreciate your help.

I have tried adding the snippet in Code Snippets but it is still bringing the whole RSS feed not just the online category.

This is the list of events the RSS should be bringing up and only the ones added in the last 3 days: https://www.gleanreport.com/online/

I’ve tried:

https://www.gleanreport.com/events/feed/?category=online

and

https://www.gleanreport.com/events/categories/online/feed/

Thanks @msykes, I really appreciate your help.

I have tried clearing the cache, but it has not changed the “online” url feed.

I’m wondering if the issue may be because the feed is limited to posts added in the last 3 days? This is the code in the functions.php that does this:

<?php

add_filter( 'em_events_build_sql_conditions', 'my_em_scope_conditions',1,2);
function my_em_scope_conditions($conditions, $args){
if( !empty($args['scope']) && $args['scope']=='newposts' ){
$start_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("-3 days", current_time('timestamp')));
$conditions['scope'] = " ( event_date_modified >= '$start_date') OR ( event_date_created >= '$start_date')";
}
return $conditions;
}

add_filter( 'em_get_scopes','my_em_scopes',1,1);
function my_em_scopes($scopes){
$my_scopes = array(
'newposts' => 'New Posts'
);
return $scopes + $my_scopes;
}

add_action('em_event_output_show_condition', 'my_em_new_event_output_show_condition', 1, 4);
function my_em_new_event_output_show_condition($show, $condition, $full_match, $EM_Event){
if( "is_newpost" == $condition ){
$postdate = get_post_datetime($EM_Event->post_id)->format('Y-m-d');
$threedaysago = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-3 days', current_time('timestamp')));
$show = strtotime($postdate) >= strtotime($threedaysago) ? true : false;
}
return $show;
}

Maybe this is overiding the template files?

Thanks so much @msykes

I removed the functions.php file competely (which did nothing) but then cleared the cache – and the feeds worked (sort of)! The “wellington” RSS feed pulled every post from the wellington category all the way back to 2014 when the site began. The “online” RSS feed appeared to pull every post from when the “online” category began in October.

Do you have any suggestions for tweaking the following code in the functions.php file so that only posts entered or modified in the last 3 days are pulled up in the two RSS feeds – while keeping only that category’s events in the appropriate feed?

<?php

add_filter( 'em_events_build_sql_conditions', 'my_em_scope_conditions',1,2);
function my_em_scope_conditions($conditions, $args){
        if( !empty($args['scope']) && $args['scope']=='newposts' ){
                $start_date = date('Y-m-d H:i:s',strtotime("-3 days", current_time('timestamp')));
                $conditions['scope'] = " ( event_date_modified >= '$start_date') OR ( event_date_created >= '$start_date')";
        }
        return $conditions;
}


add_filter( 'em_get_scopes','my_em_scopes',1,1);
function my_em_scopes($scopes){
$my_scopes = array(
'newposts' => 'New Posts'
);
return $scopes + $my_scopes;
}

add_action('em_event_output_show_condition', 'my_em_new_event_output_show_condition', 1, 4);
function my_em_new_event_output_show_condition($show, $condition, $full_match, $EM_Event){
    if( "is_newpost" == $condition ){
        $postdate = get_post_datetime($EM_Event->post_id)->format('Y-m-d');
        $threedaysago = date('Y-m-d', strtotime('-3 days', current_time('timestamp')));
        $show = strtotime($postdate) >= strtotime($threedaysago) ? true : false;
    }
    return $show;
}

/**
* Custom post type for Subscribe2
*/
function custom_s2_post_types($types) {
$types[] = 'event';
return $types;
}
add_filter('s2_post_types', 'custom_s2_post_types');

add_filter('s2_post_types','my_post_types');
function my_taxonomy_types($taxonomies) {
$taxonomies[] = 'event-categories';
return $taxonomies;
}
add_filter('s2_taxonomies','my_taxonomy_types');
