Page Attributes does not display Events template…

[yvlaw11]

Hi,
I’ve a few problems here. I’ve downloaded both Events calendar and events calendar pro. I’ve also downloaded the filter bar so have licences for all. My issues are:
1. In all video tutorials I see, in the first General settings tab, there are options to have your I have no idea where
2. I have no idea what page my calendar is set to? I can go into events, I can “view my calendar”..but I have no idea what page this is set to? Nor can I add it to my menu…as I don’t know what page it is?
3. Lastly, and probably most important! I wish to use the events template for multiple pages on my website which I imagine is a standard request. However, in my page attributes, the Events template does not appear under the dropdown for deciding which template I want my page to use?

Any ideas on what’s wrong? I really appreciate anyone’s help. I’m a bit disappointed that after purchasing this licence I have been directed to a forum and not a dedicated support team. I think I have been somehow mislead here in terms of the support I thought I was getting with this plugin.
Btw…you won’t see anything on this website..because I can’t figure out how to put the events (page) template on my menu bar! :O/
Thanks,
Yvonne

Hello yvlaw11,

Congrats on upgrading! Once we get this sorted out I’m sure you’ll love it. 😀

Sorry you’re experiencing this right from the start! And never fear! We have a dedicated support team we just use the forums 🙂

First, it might be helpful to check out our primers. They’re quick videos that will bring you up to speed quickly.
<h3>1) General settings tab</h3>
I’m not sure I understand your first question, but the General Settings Tab is found by clicking “Settings” in the “Events” menu

 

That will take you too the “General” settings tab

 
<h3>2) Events Page</h3>
It may be confusing, but The Events Calendar plugin does not create actual physical Pages, like other plugins. Instead it uses url rewrites, along with pretty permalinks to create a virtual page.

What kind of style do you have your permalinks set to? We recommend ‘postname’.

To add the events page to a menu, create a new ‘Link’ style menu item with ‘/events’ as the URL (if your permalinks are set to ‘postname’)

No matter what your style of permalinks, you can find your events on the admin toolbar.

 
<h3>3) Events Template</h3>
It sounds like there may be some confusion as to how The Events Calendar plugin works. This is a plugin, not a theme, so there isn’t a template to apply to individual Pages. You can’t transform Pages into calendars with our plugin.

With our plugin, all events are put on one calendar on the /events ‘virtual page’, with every event having its own ‘virtual page’ at /event/the-name-of-the-event.

Does this make sense? I’m sure we can get you up and running soon! Let me know if I can answer anything else!

Cheers!
