no maps at the event page and show current events on homepage

[Philipp von Schulthess]

Hi,

Why will the google maps not been shown at my events? I have activated the checkbox in the settings as well as saved a valid API Google key. Please have a look at this example:

I would like to show at the homepage in the widget area a box of the current events or new posted events. How can I do this? There is no element to select for the widget area.

Thank you for your support

Regards
Philipp

Good evening Philipp and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the maps not showing up on your single events page.
I would love to help you with this topic.

 

Here are the recommended next troubleshooting steps to see what is causing this. Please check after every step:

1. Even though you have setup your Google Maps API key, please make sure you read the following in great details as APIs requirements are far more severe nowadays: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/setting-up-your-google-maps-api-key/
2. Go to the Erlenbach venue and make sure that the “Use latitude + longitude” setting is checked
3. Google the venue name (Erlenbach) and use Google’s exact address format (Dorfstrasse 2, 8703 Erlenbach, Switzerland) in the Venue screen. No more no less
4. Walk over to Events -> Settings -> General and look for a “Merge duplicate venues” button. If there is one, click on it
5. Although this might sound counter intuitive, temporarily remove the Google Maps API key for Events -> Settings -> APIs
6. Try temporarily reverting back to a default WordPress theme such as twenty-sixteen

I would like to show at the homepage in the widget area a box of the current events or new posted events. How can I do this?

Normally, you should at least get some basic widgets (like the list widget) with the free the Events Calendar plugin.

However, things start to get far more interesting with the Events Calendar Pro: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-calendar-pro/

This allows you to use advanced widgets and shortcodes. You can even embed full views on pages:

2. https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/

Let me know how that goes.

Best regards,
Geoff B.
