    Hi,
    i am looking for am solution to get the category_name of an event and show it in a horizontal list.
    I tried to overwrite the list-widget.php with following code:
    <?php echo tribe_get_event_categories( get_the_id() ); ?>
    and it works in the sidebar widget.

    But how can i achieve to get the category_name as value by calling a shortcode?

    Thank you for your help.
    Michael

    Hi Michael,

    You could use the pro version of The Events Calendar Shortcode and create a custom template:

    https://eventcalendarnewsletter.com/events-calendar-shortcode-pro-options/#custom

    Then you’d just do [ecn-list-events design="custom"] wherever you need and it’ll output the events in your chosen format.

    Of course if you have the pro version of The Events Calendar, there may be a way to do it with their shortcode – you can contact the modern tribe support forum to ask.

    Hope that helps, if not let me know!

    Hi Brian.
    Thank you for your answer.
    The support of modern tribe told me, that The Events Calender PRO couldn’t provide the category_name for adding a list via shortcode.

    And you are sure that the values of category_names getting returned in the List?

    This would be great.
