Two calendars on one site?

[Allison Rooney]

Hello,

We are interested in the Events Calendar PRO and have two store locations. We are hoping to have the pro calendar plugged into our wordpress site, but appear as two calendars – one for Chicago location and one for our Brooklyn location.

Is this possible? I have searched a little in the forum and saw some people say they manipulated the html, but we would prefer to not do it this way since we don’t have a lot of html knowledge.

Thanks,
Allison

Hey Allison!

This is a fairly common question and unfortunately, the answer is “no” in terms of having two separate calendars altogether 🙁 We’re working on improving this in the plugin, but enabling multiple calendars is a very distant feature due to the way the plugin, WordPress, and calendars in general have to function…

However, there is a bit of a workaround that might be helpful, which is to just make two new Event Categories to use for events: Brooklyn or Chicago. Then, instead of adding menu links to just “Events”, you could make two seaprate menu links like “Events: Brooklyn” or “Events: Chicago”, and then link specifically to the category archive of these categories.

What you’d be left with is still a fully-functional calendar, where you can switch between Month View and List View for example, page back and forth between months, and all of that – but only events in the specific category will be on display, while all others that are not in that category are exclude.

So, for example, instead of linking people right to /events/ on your site, you could link to /events/category/brooklyn/ and /events/category/chicago/ – people will still be able to get to just /events/, of course, which would be a calendar with ALL events, but the category filter here might be quite handy.

Just some ideas – let me know what you think! 😀

I have been using calendarize it for quite some time and they do allow multiple calendars on one site by using the category feature.

I just purchased your pro version and expected the same.

Disappointing now to find out that you don’t offer this. Can I please have my money back?

Thank you,

Actually, I’ll keep your plugin and use the other one for the other calendar. Hopefully you will come up with a solution to this soon.

Thank you,

Hey Gina,

I’m sorry about the frustrations arising from this – are you sure about the refund? I’ll close up this thread for now; but if you ever change in the mind, then as long as you request a refund within 30 days of purchase we can issue a 100% refund immediately 🙂 Head here to learn how, if you’d like a refund → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/refund-policy/
