change venue name

[Barry Meadows]

i want to change the venue name on some of my venues (to add a location, so ‘The Atrium’ would become ‘The Atrium North Walsham’). When I do this the shortcode in a template do_shortcode(‘[eo_events group_events_by=”series” venue=”‘.eo_get_venue_name($venue_id).'” showpastevents=false]’) fails to find any events for the venue. When I put the venue name back, the events return to the list formed by the shortcode. What am I doing wring?

Hi Barry,

venue expects the slug of the venue, not its name. Typically the slug of the venue will not change even when you edit the name of the venue as this would change the URL of the venue.

Try

do_shortcode('[eo_events group_events_by="series" venue="'.eo_get_venue_slug($venue_id).'" showpastevents=false]');

instead.
