KeymasterHey Sabatha,
I just tested this with creating a user with Contributor role. This is the role right above subscriber, only has capabilities to edit and delete non-published posts. (For more details on WordPress roles check out this article: https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities#Contributor
So you can set up Contributor user for the person who is going to scan tickets, s/he will need toΒ log in on the mobile device and can start scanning away. π
Does this help?
Cheers,

KeymasterHey Tamara,
I’m super stoked to hear it helped! (This was the first snippet I did without any help. π So it’s a double success for me. π )
1. The echo should be just fine. I don’t know any better solution from the top of my head. You can check this article for some info, but it also uses echo. So you are good there.

2. I’m very happy you asked this! Always happy to see people who want to learn more.
You were pretty close, yes. It would also be possible to do this as a template override easily. (That was my first thought too.) The only thing you were missing from the function(s) is replacing the null with $venue_id = tribe_get_venue_id(); and the same for organizer respectively.
Adding the image size and the true/false for making it a link is just a bit of beautification.
So congrats!!! You were really close to nailing it!
And although the function is called tribe_event_featured_image it retrieves the featured image of the post / custom post whose id you provide as a parameter. This is because all posts and custom posts are stored in the same database and all the IDs are totally unique, irrespective of their type.
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you out with, or if I can close this thread.
Have a wonderful day!
Cheers,

KeymasterGood morning leehuffman,
I managed to talk to one of our developers. It looks like this is a glitch in our plugin. I filed an internal bug ticket for it so should be resolved in the future, however I cannot give any estimates on this just yet.
I am going to close this ticket to new replies, but the issue is still open and we will update this ticket once we release a fix.
If you have any new questions or issues please create a new ticket and reference this one. We’ll be glad to help out!
Thanks and cheers,

KeymasterHello Kent,
Thanks for using the Events Calendar.
Here on the pre-sales forum, Iβm afraid we do not provide technical support. I would ask that you take any technical support questions across to our wordpress.org forum β our staff scan it periodically and other community members may also be able to help out.
What I can share with you is that we are aware of an issue like this, when RSVP stock cannot be changed when WooCommerce is active. Check if maybe that helps you.
Thanks again and cheers,
AndrasAndras
KeymasterHey Rob,
I’m sorry you are having this issue with the timezones and the iCal export.
Please give me some time to get in touch with the devs to see what we can do about this. I ask for a bit of patience.
Thanks and cheers,

KeymasterHello Sabatha,
Thanks for reaching out! That is a very good question there. Let me help you with this:
Basically any app that can read QR codes is fine. I’m sure you can find plenty of free ones in both Android and Apple app stores. (I personally use Norton Snap.)
The event organizer, before starting to scan the codes, needs to be logged in to the WordPress dashboard.
When he scans the QR code, that translates to a URL which goes to the dashboard and automatically checks in the ticket owner to the event.
If they scan a code for a different event, they will get an error message. Just as well when they scan a QR code the second time.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers,
AndrasAndras

KeymasterHello Jerry Lee and welcome back!
I’m sorry you are having a HTTP 500 issue. I know how frustrating that can be as I faced it a couple of times recently myself.
The response 500 signals an internal server error and can be caused by a lot of things. I recommend you this article which always helped me solve the issue:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-internal-server-error-in-wordpress/
Also you might want to go through our conflict testing guide, which might help nail down a faulty plugin.
As for the MySql issue, it is not a biggie at the moment, it should work fine with that version for now, but in time upgrading to a higher version will definitely be recommended and needed. I’m sad to see that your hosting provider is inflexible in this matter. Keeping software up-to-date also for entry level packages should be a default in my book. If this was my provider I would strongly consider switching to a different one.
You can find several articles on the internet on how to choose a good provider. Here is one:
http://winningwp.com/best-wordpress-hosting/
I appreciate the offer of logging in. However, our current policy is not to accept logins or to log in to customer servers/WordPress installations. I’m sorry. I do hope though that this will get solved fast with the above resources.
Let me know if I can help you any further.
Cheers,

KeymasterHello Tamara,
Thanks for getting back in touch again and for clarifying your question. I can help you out here.
It looks like you just might be able to make it without customizing any templates. Add this below snippet to your child theme’s functions.php file and the venue and organizer images will magically π appear:
https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/3396c6dba948d789e2937857beff7b47
There are some settings detailed at the beginning of the snippet.
Also, if you want to put the images at the beginning of their respective sections, then you can change tribe_events_single_meta_organizer_section_end to tribe_events_single_meta_organizer_section_start and the same for the venue respectively.
Afterwards you can still do some formatting with CSS.
Let me know if this helps you.
Cheers,

KeymasterHey leehuffman,
Thanks for reaching out to us. I will check with one of the developers and will let you know.
Thanks for your patience!

KeymasterHey Fraser,
Thanks for hanging in there.
If you want to remove on the ‘Free – ‘ part then try pasting this snippet in your child theme’s functions.php file:
https://gist.github.com/andrasguseo/f628738efeb65fa0e737daef5483035f
This will (should) leave the price of the ticket there, my understanding was you want that.
Check and let me know.
Cheers,
Andras -
