I have two simple events: One is Essentials in Minnesota and the other is Drawings in California.

If you do any kind of search for keyword: “essentials” near: “minnesota” nothing shows.

Or search for keyword: “drawings” near: “California” nothing shows

Lastly, I did select “remove category” from URL in Yoast and it still shows “category” in the URL, how do I remove that?: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/category/solidworks-training/

I tried this and it did not work: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/remove-category-from-categories-slug-2/

Hi Nick,

I checked your child theme and changing RSVP with Say What still works as expected. Please deactivate all non-calendar plugins and switch to a default theme like twentyseventeen and check whether it works then. (Make sure that you have the ‘context’ field filled out for RSVP, like I shared in the screenshot.)

The location search is driven by the google maps api and unfortunately it has its limitations and glitches. If you leave the keyword empty and you put “Minnesota” in the near field you will still get no results. 🙁 I’ll check if there is anything on our end that we can do.

The snippet for removing the category is an old one for an earlier version. My hunch is that’s why it does not work. I will check this as well if someone has a solution. Also you might want to try this plugin if it helps.

Cheers,
Andras

‘Say what’ still does not work and the template overrides do not work for me. Did they work for you in the test you did?

Also, that would be a huge disappointment if the search bar features do not work. I would be asking for a refund

Hello Nick,

I checked again and both Say What and the template overrides work.

Note, that in Say What the original string, text domain and text context need to exactly match whatever is in the code. It is case sensitive so “rsvp” is different vs “RSVP”. Also there cannot be any more or less characters.

As for the template overrides, please make sure that the override files are in the right folder. I did a screenshot here to help guide you. This is the starting location of the overrides for The Events Calendar.

Usually at the top of each file for which you can create an override you will find instructions how you can do that, like this:

* Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/single-event.php

If it needs to go in a sub-folder, it will say so.

that would be a huge disappointment if the search bar features do not work. I would be asking for a refund

I can understand your disappointment. It does work, though the google api is rather picky when it comes to addresses. It is on our roadmap to look into this part of the search, though at the moment I cannot say when we’ll get there.

This article might give you a bit of guidance on the search.

Using Location Search

We’d really hate to see you leave, however if you decide to choose that path you can ask for a refund on this page within 30 days of your purchase.

Cheers,
Andras

That would be great. Is it safe to share that on here private? Also, just noticed this is not very mobile friendly. I lose all my RSVP and buy now and seats remaining info and it just does not look nice on mobile. See attached. I use a android galaxy, one of the most used phones

How do did they make theirs so nice and mobile friendly? https://kinon.org/events/

I would want it to look just like that both the front page and the individual event pages. How?

[nickw55]

I just found that you guys have the Filter Bar which seems to have the search and filter options I need.

And I found this that seems to make the template mobile friendly and look nice but not sure it works with the Filter Bar: https://wordpress.org/plugins/template-events-calendar/

Or does it work with the filter bar?

I just need this thing to look nice and have a search and filter. For how expensive this calendar is it shouldn’t be this difficult.

[nickw55]

Sorry for all of the posts, but i am just trying to make this work.

Also, I have Beaver Builder Themer: http://kb.wpbeaverbuilder.com/article/531-beaver-thmer-and-the-events-calendar-plugin

Does that work with the Filter Bar? If so, do you have instructions? I could use beaver builder to make these pages look nice.

Thanks

Hey Nick,

Thanks for all the questions!

Sorry for all of the posts, but i am just trying to make this work.

No worries about the number of questions. If you have more, let them come.

Is it safe to share that on here private?

Yes. Private replies are only visible to the topic owner (you) and our support staff.

I lose all my RSVP and buy now and seats remaining info  […] on mobile.

Those fields are hidden on small screens. If you would like to make them visible, then add the below css to your theme’s (child theme’s) style.css file:

.tribe-events-list .tribe-events-event-cost {
display: inline-block;
}

it just does not look nice on mobile

Not sure how much this has to do with the theme you are using. Anyway, our templating system is flexible enough that you can create template overrides (see our Themer’s Guide for that) or you can adjust the looks by screen size using css media queries.,

How do did they make theirs so nice and mobile friendly?

It’s either their theme or a customization / template override.

And I found this that seems to make the template mobile friendly and look nice but not sure it works with the Filter Bar: https://wordpress.org/plugins/template-events-calendar/

That Template Events Calendar plugin looks like a great find! Thanks for sharing it, I did not know about it before. It’s not our plugins, I will need to test that.

That being said, I don’t know if it works with Filter Bar but if it uses our templating system to create the new templates, then Filter Bar should work just fine.

You will need to give it a ride and if it doesn’t work out then you can always get a full refund on Filter Bar within 30 days of purchase. (Oh, I see you already purchased. Hope it works out. Let me know.)

I just need this thing to look nice and have a search and filter. For how expensive this calendar is it shouldn’t be this difficult.

I understand your concern about this. We do invest a lot of time trying to make our plugins as flexible as possible when it comes to looks. There are tons of themes out there though with different level and quality of coding and it’s difficult to make everything look perfectly out of the box. Sometimes it’s on us, and if that’s reported we try to push a fix, and sometimes it’s on the theme developer, which is out of our reach.

Does that work with the Filter Bar?

Out of the box the Filter Bar doesn’t work on other than calendar pages. So if you are creating pages with a Page Builder, then it will be difficult to get it to work.

If I remember correctly there is a hacky way of making it work but that’s not really supported. I can try to look that up if you need it.

You can find Filter Bar documentation here. And if you need further help, let me know.

This is just not working. I just need it to look nice with a filter bar like this: https://kinon.org/events/

I have to start looking at other tools

Thank you for your help though!

[nickw55]

That code you provided did not work. It still does not show on mobile it just dropped it down a line. I spent all day trying to style this to make it look nice and did a decent amount but here is the laundry list of items I still need fixed:
1. Make mobile friendly – with buttons and nice styling so it doesnt add those border around bottom links I sent: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/solidworks-essentials/
2. Add a title to the page, looks terrible without a title: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/
3. Have a button for BUY NOW and RSVP NOW for each event listed next to it: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/
4. List how many spots are left for each event listed: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/
5. Make the list view a easy to read format layout like this: https://kinon.org/events/
6. Make forms on here mobile friendly/responsive so they do not squeeze to the side like they are now: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/training-events/solidworks-essentials/
