PRO benefit question

[Ryan Zipperian]

Hello,

We are thinking of upgrading to a PRO account and had a couple of minor questions.

1.) If we upgrade to a multisite plan, it is our understanding that all the sites included will pull the events? Meaning, if we add events on one of our multisites, it will publish to ALL microsites?

2.) Is the widget fully customizable? (Color, Size, Padding, etc.)

Thanks!

Good evening Ryan and welcome to the Events Calendar forum!

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

1.) If we upgrade to a multisite plan, it is our understanding that all the sites included will pull the events? Meaning, if we add events on one of our multisites, it will publish to ALL microsites?

That’s a great question.
A Business or Agency plan allows you to install our premium plugin on several sites without having to pay full price for each license.

However, it does not mean that the events will publish to all microsites.

If you are looking to accomplish that, you might consider using our iCal importer premium plugin which can sync it’s data from any iCal/gCal calendar.

2.) Is the widget fully customizable? (Color, Size, Padding, etc.)

Yes, absolutely.

You can achieve that through a combination of:

1. Choosing the Visual template of your choice (including barebones) as a starting point
2. Reading our Themer’s guide.
3. Writing you own CSS rules so that things look the way you want to

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Ok! Thanks so much!

Apologies Geoff, but one more question.

Will the iCal Importer import items from an RSS feed? Meaning, will the iCal importer pull ALL the information we make for events in The Events Calendar (photo, description, google map, etc.)? or just some of the information?

What we are trying to do is use The Events Calendar on our main site to schedule events, then use another plugin to duplicate the events exactly as written to our microsites. Will iCal Importer do this?

Thanks,

Ryan

Good afternoon Ryan,

Thank you for your follow-up question.

Will the iCal Importer import items from an RSS feed? Meaning, will the iCal importer pull ALL the information we make for events in The Events Calendar (photo, description, google map, etc.)? or just some of the information? What we are trying to do is use The Events Calendar on our main site to schedule events, then use another plugin to duplicate the events exactly as written to our microsites. Will iCal Importer do this?

To answer your question, we do not have a supported solution that would make a perfect copy of the calendar entries on one site to a sister site (including pictures, venue details, etc..).
The iCal importer will be limited to the information it can provide (event title, description and location) in an ics format.

That being said, you could totally experiment with unsupported plugins such as:

• RSS Post importer
• WP RSS aggregator

This might work since you can totally customize your site’s RSS feeds for events.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.
