Eventbrite tickets automation + custom fields questions

[Jasmine Andrews]

Hi

I have a few questions about the specifics of how the Events Calendar Pro and Evenbrite Tickets plugins work together.

1/ Can we apply categories and tags used by blog posts? We have topic based pages that have a section at the bottom to show related blog posts and hopefully related events. We also have a magazine style blog page (plumtree.org.au/blog) that is driven by blog categories and we;d like to duplicate this for listing events on a separate page.

2/ Can we add additional custom fields to an event listing if we use the EC Pro plugin? If we pull in events from eventbrite, will we just need to manually complete the additional fields?

3/ Can we add an additional metadata to events to denote if the event is a workshop vs course vs interest group?

4/ Can it handle events with multiple instances (single sessions) as well as a course with multiple sessions?

5/ The page on importing events from eventbrite is missing from your knowledgebase (404). What data is imported from new eventbrite listings and is the process automatic or must it be manually triggered after adding a new event?

Thanks
Jasmine

Hi Jasmine!

Thanks for reaching out to us! Let me answer each of your questions.

1. The Events post type uses the same post tags as WordPress blog posts. But, Events use their own Event Categories taxonomy. However, it is possible to add the post categories taxonomy to be used with events with some custom coding.

2. Yes, you can create additional fields with Events Calendar PRO and you will also be able to complete them for Eventbrite events > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-additional-fields/

3. You can differentiate them using the built-in event categories or tags. Also, you can create an additional fields (mentioned in the previous point) to add this type of information.

4. Unfortunately, this is not a built-in functionality. A workaround for this is to create a page or post that will link to a set of events previously created.

5. I’m not sure which page you are referring to. Could you please the link with us so I can make sure it’s correct? As a reference, you can learn more about the eventbrite imports in the following article > https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/importing-events-from-eventbrite-com/

I hope that helps. Let me know if any follow up questions 🙂

Best,
Victor
