Licensing, pre-existing Events category, and calendar subscriptions

[Kevin Gilbert]

The plugins look amazing and I’m pretty sure they’re perfect for our needs. I wanted to ask a couple of questions before taking the plunge, however.
1. Will Community Events work with Events Calendar (Free), or do I need a Pro license?
2. If we’ve been managing Events listings with a post category/slug of Events/events, should I change that prior to installation? I know your plugin allows us to set that to our specification, but if I want to maintain all our events at domain.com/events as we do now, I’ll need to change my existing category first, correct?
3. Can someone subscribe to a webcal or ics feed, or is it just single events that can be added to someone’s personal calendar?

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the compliment! So let’s take those one by one…

1) Community Events works just fine with The Events Calendar (free). Adding the PRO license will get you some additional features though. Up to you.

2) We do use the Events slug as part of our plugin, so that sounds like some good preventative medicine there to change it to something different before installing.

3) The iCal import function is available on several views. At the current time subscribing to a calendar’s RSS feed isn’t possible, but you’re not the first to mention it. If you’d like to throw your hat in the ring, you can see the discussion over at https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/3777092-enable-calendar-synchronisation

I hope that answered your questions. If you have any more, please ask!
