 * Hey
 * It is most likely a minor problem but I am stuck 😉
 * I have a multi site with buddypress. I know want to create an event list with
   all events from blog 1 that are connected to group A (ID:6) and have the tag 
   public.
 * I tried the following:
 * [events_list blog=”1″ group=”6″ tag=”public”][/events_list]
 * This does however not work as it shows all events from blog 1. If I delete the
   blog=”1″ it shows all events from multisite.
 * Thank you for your help

 * Might be important:
 * The main blog is 1
 * buddypress has its primarly connection however to blog 2 and the tags are defined
   within blog 2 as well.

 * sorry for the confusion but what you’ve wanted to show is all the events in then
   blog=1 using the shortcode above or the entire blog?

 * Don’t be sorry, it is complicated to explain 😉
 * I start again:
    I have a multisite with three blogs: a main page (ID:1), a blog(
   ID:2) and a network (ID:3). Buddypress usually has its main connection to ID:
   1 but I changed it to ID:3 (as the mainpage is an overview page).
 * Now we are using event manager and multi site for event manager is actived. All
   events are created within the network page(ID:3). Some of these events are public
   which is indicated with the tag “plubic” and/or connected to a buddypress group.
 * I need now that some of these events appear on the main page (ID:1). So I used
   the following code:
 * [events_list blog=”3″ group=”6″ tag=”public”][/events_list]
 * This code however shows every event, not just those of the buddypress group with
   ID:6 and the tag “public”. I am not that experienced but I believe that the site
   is looking for the tag within the events on the main page and not on the network
   page. So I somehow need to tell him that it has to look for it at the network
   page, like:
    [events_list blog=”3″ group=”(group is in ID:3 not ID:1)” tag=”(
   tag is in ID:3 not ID:1″][/events_list]
 * Sorry for the confusion.

 * Just for confirmation: group and tag works on the network page ID:3 where there
   events are stored and managed but not on ID:1, the main page.
 * So I need a way to tell the plugin that it needs to look for the “group=” and
   the “tag=” classification within the other blog.

 * Okay, I found a “work-around”:
 * I defined the categories for the events on the main page (ID:1). This way it 
   was possible to filter the events from the network page (ID:3) according to their
   category a the categories are shared over the whole network.
 * However, filtering the events according to their buddypress group is still not
   possible on the main page. If anybody know how to do that that would be great.
