Cant't change events template

[Benedikt]

Hey there!

Im importing events rom a XML source. Works quite well so far. However, there is a problem:
I cant change the template to “full width” in the settings. I can select the full width template via pulldown, but it reseted after I hit the save button.

Furthermore: When I import the venueID (151851…) and build a new event, the venue address is shown, but no map. The Google map link works, but the field containing the map is empty. If I set up the event by hand, the venue map is shown.

Last point:
How can I choose between different event-calendar-templates? As mentioned above, Im using XML all import. Where can I find further information on template selection?

My “setup”
– Venue X template
– events calendar pro
– WP all import

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards
Benedikt

Hi.

Importing via WordPress XML importer or a third-party XML importer may not fire the actions that trigger the geolocation API lookup.

If you don’t see a wp-admin notice about venues missing geolocation information, you could delete the _tribe_geoloc_fixed option in your database and then it should appear.

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions on this topic.

You might try playing with this setting: wp-admin > Events > Settings > Display tab > “Events template” option — to see if changing it makes things work better for you.

If that doesn’t work, I’d suggest asking your theme author how-to for the tribe_events custom post type archive view.

Thanks!

Hey therem thanks for your fast reply Cliff.
1. Google maps issue: I removed _tribe_geoloc_fixed from my database entierly after setting ist from 1 to 0.
That did not help. I still import the ‘venue ID’ and its “connected” to my events properly, but the map does not show up.
– Btw: Not importing the ‘venue ID’ at all and setting a standard venue did not help.

So, there is still something missing. Like you said: maybe there is a flag that has to be changed or some field I cant see.
Im working in the blind: I cant see all the event calendar’s custom fields: Only those that are presented after a test import I set up earlier. So I cant tell if there is still a missing field here. maybe you can help me here by giving me an overview over all the custom fields.

2. I forwarded the info
Now i’ve to be honest with you: I did not check child theme settings before I opened the ticket. “Optimize events calendar settings” would have been a good way for me to start looking.
But! I still want the import to choose between templates. So I asked them anyway.

Removing that option from your database should cause it to display a “Fix venues data” button near the bottom of the General tab.

Hey Guys!
My template and google Maps questions are solved. You can close the case if you want.

Thanks four your help!
