    Hi there,
    Is it possible to add custom attributes to venues? For example: a venue type dropdown with “Theatre, Club, Arean” etc?

    Cheers,

    Billy

    Hey Bill! Thanks for the note. Sadly this isn’t currently possible, but we’ve had a few requests for it so far and have an issue logged for our 2.1 release to look into it. No guarantees on a timetable there but it is on the docket.

    Hope that helps and sorry I couldn’t offer up more. If you have other questions let me know.

    For anybody who is interested, I managed to get this sorted using information from this thread: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/is-it-possible-to-add-additional-fields-to-venues/

    I used the (excellent) Advanced Custom Fields plugin (http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/), where you can set up a metabox with drop downs, text fields, whatever you like, and associate it with the venue post type. Then, it’s simply a matter of over-riding the single-venue.php template and adding the advanced custom post type tags.

    SORTED! 🙂

    “advanced custom post type tags”? Sorry, I meant to say Advanced Custom Field tags/functions… like these: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/docs/functions/the_field/
