Presale Question!

[Jonathan]

I’m looking at using TEC and Ticket Plus with BB Builder and Astra. (Can I check compatibility here?). In those FB groups, TEC has been recommended, that’s why I’m checking you guys out 🙂

We’re looking to build a seminar / corporate training website, so we will need to sell tickets. Functionality wise, I have a few questions.

How do I style the main events page, and single events page? I noticed by default that TEC looks somewhat outdated compared to EventsPlus or EventOn on CodeCanyon. Styling to match these plugins by CSS is going to be technically beyond me.

I understand Event Ticket Plus has QR integrated into an the ticketing email. As I understand, all I need is a QR code on-site to scan for registration, and this will be linked back to the WP database?

Good evening Jonathan and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

Thank you for your interest in our products.
We’ll be glad to answer your questions.

I’m looking at using TEC and Ticket Plus with BB Builder and Astra. (Can I check compatibility here?).

While we do our best to be true to WordPress’ best coding practices (in order to gain optimal compatibility with other plugins and themes), our plugins can sometimes conflict with other plugins and themes.

What I can tell you is that there have been times where that has been the case with BB builder. But this is typically fixed by the plugin’s author.

I guess the best way to find out is to test it 🙂

How do I style the main events page, and single events page?

Great question. This is done in a couple of ways:

1. By using different stylesheets under Events -> Settings -> Display
2. By using different page templates under Events -> Settings -> Display
3. By using the WordPress customizer
4. By using CSS

In order to gain full power on your site’s look and feel, I would highly recommend reading the following articles:

• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/wordpress-customizer/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-google-chrome-developer-tools/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/changing-fonts-and-colours/
• https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/styling-events-widgets/

Finally, but not least you can literally customize any view to your liking. You might want to read our Themer’s guide to get a sense of how that works.

There are even a couple of themes out there that have built-in custom views for our plugins (Avada and Eventica come to mind, but there are more).

 As I understand, all I need is a QR code on-site to scan for registration, and this will be linked back to the WP database?

That is correct. You can read more about this here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/using-qr-codes-event-tickets-plus/

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!
