Hi,
I’m working on a website project where they basically need 2 completely different types of events…
1 for actual events
And 1 for educational courses
So this plugin would work really for both…However, we wouldn’t want to mix the 2 types of events with each other. So if you are looking in the education area for a course you wouldn’t want to see a social event. User experience needs to be simple so I don’t want them to have to use the filter bar for this. Can this be setup in such a way that there are effectively 2 different calendars showing different event categories in each one?
Thanks,
SteveHi, Steve.
Our plugin creates one master calendar, but you can create the appearance of multiple calendars by using Event Categories.
Examples:
- main/master calendar where all the site’s events appear: http://wpshindig.com/events/
- WP Meetups category calendar: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wp-meetups/
- Learning category calendar: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/learning/
There are additional methods and documentation at our Can You Have Multiple Calendars? KB article.
Note that this functionality is available in the free/core version of The Events Calendar. You would only need to buy one of our add-ons if you wanted those extra features (e.g. Map View from Events Calendar PRO).
Another example, from Filter Bar (since you mentioned it), is http://wpshindig.com/events/month/?tribe_eventcategory=25 — you could insert a link like that in your site’s main navigation (or wherever you want).
Last but not least, we have a pretty great Refund Policy so you can buy one or many of our add-ons and thoroughly test them.
I hope this info helps. Let me know if you have any follow-up questions.
Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.
Thanks so much!
