Choosing the right product

[Michael]

I continue getting this message and I am unsure why – To begin using The Events Calendar: Community Events Tickets, please install the latest versions of The Events Calendar, Community Events, Event Tickets, and Event Tickets Plus.

Does this indicate that in order for me to use the Events Calendar: Community Events Tickets, I first have to make separate purchases for Community Events, and Event Tickets before I use something like Event Tickets Plus?

I am having a lot of trouble running these plug-ins and any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also confused what is the difference between Events Calendar PRO and Events Calendar Community and if I need to make an additional purchase as well for the filter bar plugin?

Hi Michael,

Oh shoot, so sorry for the trouble! I know there are a lot of plugins available and choosing the right combination of things can get confusing — I’ve totally been there and am happy to help.

First off, yes, Community Tickets does require a few other plugins:

• The Events Calendar (free) – This is our core plugin that allows you to create events posts on your site in a calendar format.
• Event Tickets (free) – This plugin enables you to create RSVPs for events and sets the framework for selling tickets.
• Event Tickets Plus – This plugin connects Event Tickets to WooCommerce so that you can create and sell tickets.
• Community Events – This plugin allows guests to submit events to your calendar without logging into WordPress dashboard.

And where does Community Tickets fit in? It’s the bridge that closes the gap between Community Events and Event Tickets Plus that allows your guests to create and sell tickets for the events they submit to your calendar.

We do offer a bundle called the Community Manager Bundle that packages the premium plugins together at a steep discount. I know you’ve already purchased Community Events, but I would be happy to help you refund that purchase so that you can save with the bundle. Let me know and I can help make that happen.

I am also confused what is the difference between Events Calendar PRO and Events Calendar Community and if I need to make an additional purchase as well for the filter bar plugin?

Good news is that the Community Manager Bundle includes Filter Bar, so you may be totally covered in the single purchase.

Events Calendar PRO is an extension to The Events Calendar (again, our free core calendar plugin) that adds additional views and features such as recurring events, advanced widgets, custom fields, and other goodies. It does not include Filter Bar; in other words, they are two separate plugins with different functionalities. There is a handy chart at the very bottom of this page that shows the PRO features.

So sorry again for the confusion! Does this help clarify things a bit? Please let me know if you have any other questions and I’d be happy to help as best I can.

Cheers,
Geoff

Thank you for the quick reply. Does the Community Manager Bundle include the Filter Bar?

[Geoff]

It sure does! Sounds like that will be the right bundle for you. 🙂

Hi Michael — I see my earlier reply was marked as the correct answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please feel free to let us know if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
