transferring customisations to PRO

[Jane]

Hi, I’ve been using the free events calendar for a few years and I love it! I’m now thinking of upgrading to your PRO version but I have a couple of questions.
1). I’m wondering what will happen to the customisations I’ve made to the events layouts. I’ve tweaked a few things in the single event view (with everything properly saved in new folders within my theme) so I wondered if they will automatically stay in place when I upgrade or whether I’ll have to re-do them (and if so, do you have any advice, because my coding skills are pretty limited).
2) I like the look of the photo view. I presume it is possible to set this in the back end as the default view that users will see? And how is the sizing of the photos in the layout managed? Is it a default setting or do I manually make each photo the right size (which is what I do on the list view at the moment).
3) Can I add images to organizers/venues for their view pages?
4) If after the year I decided not to renew, does the site revert back to standard Tribe Events? Or does the PRO version stay but without updates and support? (I’m fully intending to keep renewing if it all works, but I’d like to know what I’m agreeing to)

Many thanks,
Jane

Hi Jane,

Thanks for checking out Events Calendar Pro!

1. The Pro version actually extends the free version (vs. replacing it), so your customizations will remain intact. The single events view still comes from the free version, even with Pro active.
2. You can indeed set photo view as your default view. The images will be sized automatically for photo view, but you can always add additional CSS if you’d like to change the size of the images.
3. Yes! Both venues and organizers support featured images, which will display on the single venue/organizer pages.
4. If you do not renew the license, you will no longer have access to updates and premium support, but the plugin on your site will not be affected. Keep in mind that if you stop updating one plugin but continue updating WordPress and the other plugins on your site, you may eventually run into compatibility issues. Otherwise, not updating the license will not change the functionality of the plugins.

If you have any other questions, please let me know!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, thanks very much for answering all my questions so clearly. I’ll be upgrading as soon as I have a clear weekend to work through all the changes, but I’m very excited about being able to add all this extra functionality to my site.
