    Hello,

    First, thank you for this awesome plugin very useful.

    My problem is quite simple by I can’t find the way !

    In my project of website, I’ve make a special page for each category of events, one for Shows and an other for Exhibitions, and I just want those pages to show a number of 15 event-posts.

    I’ve tried many times with the wP_Query in the archive-event.php page, and the filter of number is working, but the filter of event category is gone and all the events are mixed up together.

    So what should be the code ?

    Thank in advance,

    PS: Sorry for my english

    Ok, are you using a pre_get_posts filter? I assume you should in this case.

    // Modify events query
function df_custom_events_query($query) {
	
	if (is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() && empty($query->query_vars['suppress_filters']))
        return $query;
	
	// apply modifications for evens archive and event taxonomies pages
	if (is_post_type_archive('event') || is_tax('event-category', 'event-location', 'event-organizer', 'event-tag')) {
		$query->set('posts_per_page', 15); // or any number you need
    }
	return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'df_custom_events_query');

    Thanks for answering so fast !
    I don’t thin so, but I am a absolute beginner !

    This is my initial code in archive-events.php :

    <div id="content">
        	<div id="cat-post-2">

			<?php do_action('em_archive_description');
			?>

		<?php // start the loop
		if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php do_action('em_before_events_loop');
			?>

			<?php
			while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
				
				<?php em_get_template_part('content', 'event'); ?>
               

			<?php endwhile; ?>
			
			<?php do_action('em_after_events_loop');
			?>
            

		<?php else : ?>

		<div class="post" id="post">
			
			    <div id="post_content">
			    	
			        <p><?php _e('Apologies, but no events were found.', 'events-maker'); ?></p>
			        
			    </div>
			
			</div>

        <?php endif; ?>
        
</div>
<div id="sidebar-bloc">
<?php get_sidebar('classic'); ?></div>
</div>

    I’ve put your code in the functions.php of my theme, but it doesn’t work !

    Quite lost on the way !

    Oh, I’m sorry.

    This:

    is_tax('event-category', 'event-location', 'event-organizer', 'event-tag')

    should be an array:

    is_tax(array('event-category', 'event-location', 'event-organizer', 'event-tag'))

    So, in functions.php :

    // Modify events query
function df_custom_events_query($query) {
	
	if (is_admin() || !$query->is_main_query() && empty($query->query_vars['suppress_filters']))
        return $query;
	
	// apply modifications for evens archive and event taxonomies pages
		if (is_post_type_archive('event') || is_tax( array( 'event-category', 'event-location', 'event-organizer', 'event-tag' )) {
		$query->set('posts_per_page', 15);  // or any number you need
	 }
	 return $query;
}

add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'df_custom_events_query');

    The result : “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ on line 107”

    It’s the line :
    if (is_post_type_archive('event') || is_tax( array( 'event-category', 'event-location', 'event-organizer', 'event-tag' )) {

    No result by trying differents syntax ! Any ideas ?

    It should be working.

    Question, what does it mean: special pages for categories? How you are doing this? Are you doning a custom query?

    No, it’s means the archive-events.php is the template for 2 importants pages of this website, recensing the 2 biggest categories of events, Exhibitions & Shows to come.

    No special difficulty until then, just one to list a specific number of posts, which different of the homepage.

    Please try again with that:

    
// Modify events query
function df_custom_events_query($query) {
	
	// apply modifications to events archive and event taxonomies pages
	if (
		!is_admin()
		&& $query->is_main_query()
		&& empty($query->query_vars['suppress_filters'])
		&& (is_post_type_archive('event') || is_tax(array('event-category', 'event-location', 'event-organizer', 'event-tag')))
	)
	{
		$query->set('posts_per_page', 15);  // or any number you need
	}

	 return $query;
}
add_filter('pre_get_posts', 'df_custom_events_query');

    Good news, I finally succeed by insert this code in archive-events :

    global $query_string; // récupère la requête initiale générée par WordPress
query_posts( $query_string . '&posts_per_page=12' );
if( have_posts() ) : while( have_posts() ) : the_post()
  // votre code
endwhile; endif;

    Thank you for your help !

    Yeah, but this not the most elegant solution – it may generate issues with pagination.
