Filters, Organizers, Cost etc

[Brian Lennon]

Hello there,

I have a few questions…

Is the purchase of PRO a one-off payment of $89?

Does PRO include filters or is this separate?

Can organizers be in charge of their own events only? (Saw a closed forum post from a couple of years back and was wondering is there any advance on this?)

Can you share events on Social Media?

In particular can you auto-tweet – eg can you use “WP to Twitter” plugin?

Many thanks in advance,

Brian

Howdy Brian! Thanks for getting in touch–I’m stoked you’re checking out the plugins and hope they’re a fit for your project. 🙂

Is the purchase of PRO a one-off payment of $89?

Yes, it is a one-time payment. However, it will entitle you to a year of support and updates to the plugin, after which you can renew your license at a discounted rate to continue receiving support and updates. You won’t lose the plugin if you choose not to renew, you just won’t receive updates.

Does PRO include filters or is this separate?

PRO does not include the filtering functionality but you can certainly get that in the Filter Bar add on.

Can organizers be in charge of their own events only?

The only way they can manage their own events is to be a registered user on your site with backend access to edit Events. However, they will see all other events as well.

There is the Community Events add on which allows users to submit events via the front end of your site and manage only their own events from there. That might be worth looking into here.

Can you share events on Social Media?

The Events Calendar doesn’t come with social sharing baked in, but other plugins can be used to integrate social sharing into events. Jetpack, Social Media Feather and Mashshare are a few that come to mind.

In particular can you auto-tweet – eg can you use “WP to Twitter” plugin?

I imagine that would be possible as long as the third-party plugin supports custom post types, which is what events are. You can actually test this with the free version of The Events Calendar if you want to confirm that in advance.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Does the Community Events add on supports third-party authentication (like Google+, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) via OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect?
How is the user registration/login process @Community Events add on?

tks

Hi tks, thanks for chiming in here! Community Events uses the same user login/registration functionality that comes baked into WordPress, so any add-on that is compatible with that might reasonably be compatible here as well.

Brian, I see that my first reply was marked as the right answer–I’m glad this helped!

I’ll go ahead and close this thread since it was marked complete, but please feel free to start a new thread if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
