Events Calendar WIdget Linked To Sub-Domain

[fitnessto]

Hi! I hope you can help with this —

I am currently running the Events Calendar PRO version on my main website and have set up the calendar widget at the footer of all of my pages. I also have a DIRECTORY sub-domain (different URL) that contains most of the same information that my main site holds (all pages linked, etc). However, I cannot set up the same footer-calendar widget on this sub-site. Is there a way that this can be achieved — so that the footer would appear full (including the calendar from the main site) on both sites?

Thanks!

Hello,

I can try to help you out here, but not sure what you are asking.

You have two different sites correct?

One site the Widget is showing in the Footer.

The sub domain site is another installation of WordPress and another theme, correct?
In the other it is not showing in the Footer?
Is there no widget area in this site?
Is it giving an error?

Let me know and we can go from there.

Thanks

Hey Brian,

Great — I’d appreciate the assistance, that’s for sure. So, based on your assessment you are pretty much correct on all points — here’s the full situation:

The main site is fitness-to.com — the theme and the database that we are working with warranted a SEPARATE site to be set up as a subdomain for the directory page(s). The subdirectory is directory.fitness-to.com and it links from the main site as if it were ‘part of it’. The problem is that we have the Events Calendar set up on the main site and have set up a footer widget for the calendar on that site alone. Even though the subdirectory is a part of the site, I don’t know that we can set it up so that the widget would then reflect a footer spot on the directory page as well, especially since all events, etc. would be set up in the main site’s database. I’m simply trying to mirror the exact footer from the main site on the subdirectory, but the only issue lies with the calendar reflecting the same information, etc. on both sites. Is there any way that we can make this happen?

I’m happy to set you up with login info and passwords in a private reply if that helps you see the back-end situation a bit more clearly.

Thanks for clarifying. Since they are separate sites there is no feature to use a widget on the subdirectory site that uses data from the main site. There is some ways around that but they would involve a fair amount of customization, which I am afraid is beyond the support we can provide.

• Some of the ways that could be done are to build a function to call widgets from the main site
• iframe the widget after creating a special page to show it in the main site
• RSS Feed from the main site. This might be the easiest as it could pull the information in and then you could style it.

Let me know if you have any more follow up questions.

Thanks

Since I haven’t heard back from you here, I’m going to go ahead and close out this thread. Feel free to start a new thread if you have further issues. Thanks! 🙂
