Hi pnegyesi,

I’m afraid it isn’t designed to allow that – the category setting is just that, a setting, but front end users (visitors to your site, in other words) will not be able to do the same thing.

It’s probably possible to implement this as a customization – our Themer’s Guide is a great starting point if you want to investigate that possibility – and we’d also be more than happy to review this as a feature request if you’d like to post one 🙂

Thanks!

Hi – thanks for reaching out 🙂

My concern: I don’t want to loose the settings/data on the calendar.
I assume the setting/data for Events Calendar all in the database.
I have the site backed up with Vaultpress.

The settings and event data should not be affected by this – but backing up as you have done is always a sensible precaution.

I assume updating using FTP would be as follows:
Deactivate the 4 plugins.
Delete the 4 plugins using FTP.
Upload the 4 updated plugins into the plugins folder with FTP.
Activate the plugins.

That should certainly do the trick.

Does that answer your questions?

Hi Brenda,

Sorry you’re facing difficulties here.

Some themes, for whatever reason, strip out various bits of markup including the media attributes of stylesheet links. That seems to be happening on your site, too. Here’s one of the links we use to load a stylesheet that should only be applied to devices with a small screen:

<link rel=stylesheet' id='tribe-events-calendar-mobile-style-css' href='.../tribe-events-theme-mobile.min.css?ver=3.5.1' type='text/css' media='(max-width: 768px)' />

Note those elements at the end – they are important because they control when that particular set of rules will be utilized. Here’s the same line from your site:

<link rel="stylesheet" href=".../tribe-events-theme-mobile.min.css?ver=3.5.1">

It’s been shortened considerably (by your theme, is my guess) but unfortunately this A) breaks things and B) means that entire stylesheet may be loaded even when it isn’t required. Would you be able to reach out to the theme vendor and ask if they can help here? You might post a request reading something like:

I noticed that when your theme is activated various attributes are stripped out of link elements, including media attributes. This is causing problems – is there any way I can turn this behaviour off?

Hopefully it’s the sort of problem where they can provide you with a quick snippet that will stop this from happening (and feel free to share a link to this thread if that helps to add context).

Thanks – and let me know how you get on 🙂

Anything is possible!

If you don’t want to place those images in the description though you’d need to get creative: there might be some existing plugins out there you can re-purpose and I seem to remember there is one that even lets you add multiple featured images to posts, including (I believe) custom post types such as events.

Combine something like that with a template override (you might customize the single-event.php template and replace the tribe_event_featured_image() call with some new function that takes a stack of featured images and transforms them into a gallery/slideshow, for instance) and you should be able to get there.

You can find out more about template overrides and safe customization of The Events Calendar/Events Calendar PRO in our Themer’s Guide:

I hope that helps 🙂

Hi!

There are a couple of approaches you might take here.

The first is changing the template: right now it looks as though you are using the Default Events Template which is great, but sometimes the Default Page Template meshes a little better with certain themes. Could you try adjusting this (via the Events → Settings → Display admin screen)?

The second is to add some custom CSS via a tribe-events.css stylesheet (see our Themer’s Guide – and this section in particular – for details on setting this up). Within that file you could then add something like:

#tribe-events-content-wrapper { background: white }

To alter the background.

Does that help?

Hi Violet,

Sorry you’re running into problems here.

also how can i add the category list ( like a filter) on the main evens page?

First thing to note though is that we try hard to stick to one issue or question per thread – this helps us to deliver fair and timely support to all of our customers and also reduces confusion in threads – so if you could re-post the above in a new thread that would be great and one of the team will be along to help you with that as soon as they can.

Hi i have purchased the event pro and it is not showing my event time properly.
this is what is posted:

June 1 @ June 1, 2014 – June 1, 2014

Hmm, very odd. Have you made any customizations at all? I do see that you noted having tried deactivating all other plugins and switching to a default, unmodified theme – did that impact on the problem at all or let you isolate any conflicts?

Would it also be possible to share a URL so we can see this first hand in case any clues as to the source of the problem present themselves?

Thanks!

Hi: when a ticketing plugin is installed – be it WooCommerce Tickets, EDD Tickets, Eventbrite Tickets or whatever, the event cost field is indeed hidden. This happens to prevent confusion, but you can actually force the cost field to remain in place by adding this short snippet to your theme’s functions.php file:

add_filter( 'tribe_events_admin_show_cost_field', '__return_true', 20 );

Does that help?

[Barry]

Hi – great question!

I normally recommend querying for the events you wish to retrieve via tribe_get_events() … this is basically a thin wrapper around WordPress’s own query functions and accepts many of the same parameters – so you could for instance provide a taxonomy query to limit the result set to a specific group of event categories.

Does that help?

[Barry]

Hi!

If you visit the Events → Settings → Filters screen and open up whichever filters you wish to change you should be able to change the title:

Does that help?

[Barry]

Hi Pierre,

That is certainly possible 🙂

It doesn’t happen out of the box, as it were, but all sorts of customizations can put in place thanks to the plugin’s extensive use of actions, filters and overrideable templates.

I hope that helps – and please don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Grégoire,

Sometimes you need to make changes to your theme (via a child theme if appropriate) to work around this sort of thing. Alternatively you might try either or both of these steps:

• Switch to the Default Events Template (via the Events → Settings → Display admin screen)
• Or, add define( 'TRIBE_MODIFY_GLOBAL_TITLE', true ); to your wp-config.php file … but note that, depending on your theme structure, this may have side effects in relation to the title element (in the sense of the browser tab title)

I hope that helps!

[Barry]

That is odd; but yes if you could switch to using our latest plugins (unmodified of course) and additionally deactivate all other plugins/enable a default and unmodified theme such as Twenty Thirteen – and the problem still occurs – that could be useful to see.

Thanks!

[Barry]

Hmm, well right off the bat I can’t replicate this – I tried with a number of test events all using large cover images and all were imported with an image that was significantly larger than 200 x 200px. I realize you also noted it isn’t a consistent problem for you either; I wonder if you could share the URL for one of the affected Facebook events, though, so I can see if I can replicate using that/see if anything of interest jumps out?

[Barry]

Awesome, glad that worked out 🙂

 

[Barry]

Ah yes, unfortunately inline stylesheets are loading after the custom Tribe stylesheet you added. Try making the rule a little more specific:

#content #tribe-events-content h3.tribe-events-single-section-title { font-size: 16px }

Does that help?
