Will Advanced Widgets Do What I need them to Do?

[Christina]

Debating if I should get the Events Calendar Pro, simply for the “Advanced Widgets”. Our site is for our 5 retail locations, each location has a it’s own sub page on the site. While people can see ALL store locations’ events on our main calendar, I’d like to show ONLY that locations events on their sub page. Is this something the advanced widgets will allow on the Events Calendar Pro?

Hey Christina,

Thanks for reaching out!

If you make each location have its own “Event Category” on your site, then you could filter each widget to only display events from a single event category and thus would be able to achieve the result you describe here.

This is unfortunately the only way to do this. 🙁

Let me know if this helps!

I think that helps-ish, would be great if they could distinguish by location within the event. Is there a way to automatically designate event category within an iCal import?

Hey Christina,

There is indeed a way to set the category for an import—however, to be clear it really is setting the category for an import—the whole import.

You cannot specify a different category for each event within the import, you can only specify a category for the whole import; all events in that one import will be in that one chosen category.

Sorry to bold all of that text! Just wanted to make sure it was clear. Here’s a screenshot of the category selection option:

I hope this helps!
