Major issues getting this set up with my genesis theme

[Nick]

I tried Events Calendar free plugin and it doesn’t seem to be working well with Genesis and seems to require a lot of patches to make it work. Unless I am missing something.

Does anyone have some good instructions (that doesnt require a ton of patches) on how to make this work with genesis?

I cannot get the default page to show: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/events-training/
And I need to have registration for these events? Do I need to buy a plugin for that?
Lastly, the featured image is not showing in the Genesis feature area and instead is showing below it and leaving the featured image area greyed out: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/event/hotd/

Hi Nick!

Perhaps the information in the following knowledgebase article would be helpful?

theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/genesis-theme-framework-integration

Beyond that, though, please note that we don’t generally offer technical support here in the pre-sales forum. If you purchase a license for any of our plugins you will be able to post in our premium forums but otherwise I can only suggest posting in the free/community support forums where a fellow Genesis user might be able to assist 🙂

(If you already have a license, please login and post in the Events Calendar PRO forum instead – thanks!)

Ok, looking to buy it now. Just trying to figure out what I need to purchase. Here is what I need to do:

1. I need 1 main calendar and 4 other sub calendar pages. I am assuming you separate them by catagories? Something like this from our old site: https://www.symsolutions.com/training-events/full-training-event-calendar
2. I need people to be able to register for classes on this calendar.
3. I will need to import classes via CSV
4. I will need to list upcoming classes and how many spots are available like this from our old site: https://www.symsolutions.com/solidworks-essentials
5. And does this integrate with Woocomerce? I would eventually like to sell these classes with Woocomerce if that works somehow since we are using woocomeerce: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/store/
6. And none of the feature images are working and how do you apply a feature image to the calendar page: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/event/hotd/ As you can see the featured images are a gray box at the top: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/events-training/

Can you please let me know which products I need to purchase to make all of this happen? And will this plugin do all of this??

Hey there Nick!

1. I need 1 main calendar and 4 other sub calendar pages. I am assuming you separate them by catagories?

That’s certainly an option. You could then link directly to individual categories, like this:

wpshindig.com/events/category/wp-meetups

2. I need people to be able to register for classes on this calendar

Take a look at Event Tickets 🙂

It’s free, is built to work with The Events Calendar and would function nicely as a simple registration tool. If you want to sell classes, a combination like Event Tickets Plus and WooCommerce might be of more interest.

3. I will need to import classes via CSV

Totally possible! See these links to learn more:

• theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/importing-data-from-a-csv-file
• theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/csv-files-options-and-examples

4. I will need to list upcoming classes and how many spots are available like this from our old site: https://www.symsolutions.com/solidworks-essentials

Yes! Depending on your exact requirements you may need to make some small customizations to get the exact result you are looking for, but only a few releases back we rolled out some new functionality along these very lines.

5. And does this integrate with Woocomerce? I would eventually like to sell these classes with Woocomerce if that works somehow since we are using woocomeerce: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/store/

Event Tickets Plus does indeed support WooCommerce as a vehicle for selling tickets.

6. And none of the feature images are working and how do you apply a feature image to the calendar page: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/event/hotd/ As you can see the featured images are a gray box at the top: https://270.010.godaddywp.com/events-training/

Again, this isn’t the right place for technical support. Of course, we’ll be happy to help you on the premium forums once you have a license or indeed you can seek help from the community over on the wordpress.org forums 🙂

I hope that clarifies things and do let me know if you have further questions.

[Nick]

Ok, thank you. So it looks like I need to buy the Events Calendar Pro and the Events Ticket Plus to accomplish everything I am seeking, correct?

[Barry]

Hey there – sorry for not making that clearer 🙂

It sounds like you only need to purchase Event Tickets Plus (to integrate the selling of classes with WooCommerce) and beyond that you need our two core (free!) plugins, The Events Calendar and Event Tickets.

Events Calendar PRO offers a bunch of extra functionality and additional views that you might like, but I don’t think it will be essential to your requirements as I understand them (and you will still be able to post and get help on our premium forum for The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO, regardless of which license you buy).

I hope that helps!

[Nick]

Thank you! I love that map view. Pro it is! We have hundreds of classes and events all over the country – I think I need the more advanced tools.

[Barry]

Sounds good!

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
