Hi – sorry to hear you are experiencing difficulties.

That definitely sounds like a strange problem. Just to clarify – you’re seeing this on every page and not just when you update events (or other posts)?

If that’s the case I can’t help but suspect a conflict with another plugin or possibly your theme – with that in mind could I ask you to run through our standard troubleshooting steps and see if that solves this/helps you to identify the conflict, if there is one?

Thanks!

[Barry]

I’m sorry you’re having difficulties here, Anthony.

The first thing I’d like to check on is if you are still locked out – or if WP Engine were able to help you access the admin environment once more?

Beyond that, I would like to highlight that – largely in response to feedback like this – we are investigating new approaches to problems like this one as part of our Summer of Performance. I’d also love to learn more about your specific setup, though – it could be really useful for us.

• Is there a specific hosting package (or tier of hosting) you have with WPEngine?
• Approximately how many events do you currently have in your system?
• What proportion are recurring (again, an approximation is fine)?
• Can you indicate how big your post table is – in terms of the total number of rows (or even just a guess in terms of the total number of pages, posts, events and any other custom post types)?

Thanks!

Hi – great question!

So you want to extend Filter Bar and add an additional filter to achieve this?

If so, yes, that should be possible – but it’s definitely a more advanced customization than we can generally help with here on the forum. The essence of such a customization though would be to write your own filter class extending TribeEventsFilter – and studying the existing Filter Bar code is the best way to get a sense for how it all fits together.

Does that help?

Hi!

Would a rule like this one – which you could add to a custom tribe-events/tribe-events.css stylesheet within your theme – work for you?

#tribe-events .tribe-events-filters-content { background: black }

Hi!

I’m not sure I can view your main events page (or something is going wrong) … I do note you already tried running through our standard troubleshooting steps though which is awesome:

YES, I’ve deactivated all other plugins to check for a plugin conflict.
YES, I’ve reverted to the 2011 default WordPress theme (with other plugins still deactivated) to check for a theme conflict.

We appreciate you taking the time to try those steps out 🙂

Can you confirm – with no other plugins and just a default, unmodified theme – did the same problem persist?

[Barry]

There definitely are some ways of means of adjusting it by yourself – but did the guide I linked to in my previous reply not help?

[Barry]

If you’ve got a pre-existing tribe-events directory within your theme and you didn’t create it then yes – it quite likely shipped with the theme and was the work of the theme authors.

Thinking of the default list/single-event.php template, the basis of this sort of change could be as easy as finding:

<span><?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ); ?></span>

Then adapting this to:

<span>
	<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">
		<?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ) ?>
	</a>
</span>

That will make it link to the relevant single event page where (if you were using something like our WooCommerce Tickets addon they could buy tickets) … of course you could introduce your own logic to take them to some other location.

I hope that helps – and good luck 🙂

[Barry]

Glad that helped – we definitely do have some gaps in our documentation certainly – but we are slowly but surely working to build them up and plug the gaps 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to create new threads and one of the team will be only too happy to help.

Thanks again!

Hi!

So things are a lot easier to customize with regards to meta elements like the map and a lot can be done from within template overrides. Some resources/ideas to get you started:

• Our Themer’s Guide which has been updated since my last reply and covers the basics of safely overriding and customizing templates
• The modules/meta/map.php template will interest you as this is the container for the map
• Within that template you’ll see the tribe_get_embedded_map() function is used – you can actually specify dimensions by passing additional arguments, something like this: tribe_get_embedded_map( null, 600, 300 ) – which would create a map with a width of 600 pixels and a height of 300 pixels

Good luck!

On the live site, these steps did not fix the issue.

I’m sorry to hear that – for the avoidance of any doubt, though, do you mean that you deactivated all other plugins (and reverted to a default theme) on the live site – or just ManageWP?

Am I also correct in thinking that the problem is effectively resolved on the test site under default conditions? If so, and you begin adding/reactivating the same set of plugins and theme you have on the live site, are you able to cause the original problem to come back? Does it kick in after a particular plugin or combination of plugins become activated?

[Barry]

Glad that worked!

dd.tribe-event-tags a

The above selector should get you what you need for the tags. Since the original issue now sounds like it is resolved I’ll go ahead and close this thread – please don’t hesitate to create new threads for anything else that crops up.

Thanks again!

Community Events-
Allow anonymous submissions: enabled.
Default status for submitted events: published.

Just to add, to meet these particular requirements you could try changing the snippet mentioned in my last reply to:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_community_sanitize_submission', 'set_community_events_publication_status' );

function set_community_events_publication_status( $submission ) {
    return 'publish';
}

Hi Tony and anafeliciano,

Apologies for the confusion on two counts:

• This is a valid bug and one we have logged as being in need of a fix
• Tony, we weren’t deliberately ignoring you though it may have seemed that way. Unfortunately the forum only alerts us to updates created by the original poster (anafeliciano) so we were simply unaware of your own posts – we’re aiming to fix that but right now (and, generally speaking, even once it is resolved) it is best to create new threads of your own

One thing that might provide some temporary relief is this snippet created by my colleague Casey. It aims to set submissions by logged in users to a “published” state and submissions by anyone else (if anonymous submissions are allowed) to “draft”. Potentially this might help you workaround the bug and we can probably tweak it further if it doesn’t quite meet your requirements.

[Barry]

You mean will it work if you set it up on your local computer? Yes, so long as you have a suitable web server and PHP installed (a package like MAMP or XAMPP, depending on your preference and platform).

if so how do i open the “home” page of the local site once the directory is copied?

It depends where you install it, really, but suppose it is in your web server’s root directory then you would simply navigate to http://localhost in your browser.

Alternatively, though, if you have a CPanel style hosting environment for your live site you might find it easier to use a one-click installer (if your host provides this functionality) and add a fresh copy of WordPress to a subdirectory (ie, yourdomain.com/testsite).

Does that help?

[Barry]

Awesome to hear that – glad it worked out 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but of course if we can help with anything else please don’t hesitate to reach out to us by creating new threads – one of the team will be only too happy to help.

Other than that, if you have a moment, it would be fantastic to hear your thoughts on The Events Calendar over on our plugin review page. Thanks again!
