Hello,

Is it possible to run more than one The Events Calendar on my website?

Hi Jacob,

Thanks for reaching out! Actually you can just have one calendar per WordPress install. What you can do to ’emulate’ different calendar is to use Event Categories, this allows you to have different category URLs so you can point your users to different ‘calendars’ like: http://sitename.com/events/soccer/, http://sitename.com/events/handball/, etc.

Do you think this could work for your site? What’s the specific use case of your project?

Best,
Nico

Hello Nico!

Thanks for your reply. Not sure if this helps: My scenario: I am client of an event location plattform, called spacebase.com. There I have the possibility to connect each listed event venue’s calendar with the event venue profile of spacebase.com. So they want me to have seperate calendars for each venue, i need separate ical files.

Is there a possibilty to use The Events Calendar with that background? I’d love to!

Best wishes,
Jacob

Hey Jacob,

Thanks for following up and for adding context to your request! Hopefully you can have different ical feeds for different event categories, so you are good on that end. The only additional work would be to add a categories matching each venue, but I guess it’s not that bad!

Please let me know if you have other follow-ups questions or doubts I can help you with,
Best,
Nico

Hey Nico,

Ah, thanks that sounds promising. So are you saying that the events calendar is able to provide ical’s per category?
Where in the settings can I find that?

Thanks a lot!!

Jacob,

So are you saying that the events calendar is able to provide ical’s per category?

Indeed! There’s not an option to enable this. You can directly access the feed by URL, for example: http://sitename/events/category/soccer/?ical=true.

Best,
Nico

Nico, that is just perfect!!!!!

Thanks a lot! Looking forward to play around with it!!

Have a great week,
Nico
