    I see – so though I can’t see your site using the URL you provided I’m going to guess you are referring specifically to week view. Is that correct and would it be viable for you to use a different view instead, with or without some customizations to make it mesh a little more tightly with your needs?

    I can understand your confusion – I did misinterpret part of your question – and can definitely try to clarify things.

    Let’s start with NEAR (or location):
    If the location isn’t dictated by the venue, then what is it dictated by? Or in other words, what data fields is the “Near” field trying to match against? Or lastly, how do I associate a location with an event if not through the venue where it’s taking place?

    Yes, this is matching events based on their association with a particular venue. I did misread your initial post with regards to this part of your query – apologies on that front – and if you could provide a URL where we can observe the problem (the one you shared when you opened the post doesn’t seem to take me to a live site) we can certainly take a more detailed look.

    Next is SEARCH:
    The other filter field in the bar at the top is a straight Search field. So again, exactly what data fields is this searching against? Isn’t the venue name where the event is being held associated with that event?
    Thanks for your help with this.

    This is really what I was referring to. This is a search which is conducted against event post types, rather than venues or organizers. Some good examples of searchable fields are the event title and the event content (or description): so if you search for keyword and that is indeed used in the description you ought to find that the corresponding event is listed in the search results.

    However, if an event is associated with a venue which has keyword in its description, neither the event or the venue will be returned in the search results – unless of course the event itself also has keyword somewhere in its body.

    Does that make more sense? Apologies once again for the initial misunderstanding.

    Hi Snieder,

    Apologies for any confusion.

    You need to keep The Events Calendar (our free, core plugin) installed and active. Events Calendar PRO should be installed like any other plugin and once activated you should be able to find a Licenses tab in the Events Settings page.

    How is the procedure not to loose all data that’s already in?

    You should not lose any data but it is a great idea to make a backup (and indeed backup regularly) and know how to restore those backups. Please also check out our New User Primer which covers installing and activating Events Calendar PRO:

    https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-pro-new-user-primer/

    Does that help?

    Hi – glad to hear you have found The Events Calendar useful!

    Installing and activating Events Calendar PRO (which works alongside and builds on top of The Events Calendar) should not cause you to lose any events, it simply adds new features and functionality.

    With that said, it is always a great idea to backup, keep regular backups and know how to restore those backups to provide yourself with a bit of a safety net.

    I hope that clarifies things, but let me know if I can help with anything else 🙂

    Hi!

    On visiting your calendar it certainly appears as if you’ve made some strides in terms of customizing things. I see you are using The Events Calendar Category Colors which has definitely proven to be a popular tool for this sort of work, added to which, I also see the custom tribe-events.css stylesheet was successfully set up – great work so far 🙂

    I get the sense you are frustrated, but perhaps you could give a concrete example of one of the things you are struggling with? Though we can’t always help with a set of very specific customizations we might be able to give you a pointer in the right direction.

    Let me know!

    Hi jstorm,

    There is no reason you can’t have two (or more) events running concurrently that I’m aware of – but perhaps I’m misinterpreting. Do you mean you can’t force a recurring event to repeat at intervals that would cause a number of instances to overlap within a single day? If so, yes that is certainly a limitation at present.

    Hi – great questions!

    There’s a great overview with video showing both the tickets and the check-in process over here:

    https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/wootickets-new-user-primer/

    Does that help?

    Hi Shoutweb,

    That would definitely be annoying. There are a few options you might explore here, one would be adding a rule like:

    .tribe-events-meta-group.tribe-events-meta-group-details { word-break: break-all; }

    To a custom tribe-events.css stylesheet (see our Themer’s Guide for details on setting that up) or some other suitable location. Does that help at all?

    Hi – great question!

    The submission form in your case can be found at:

    http://summerlane.com.au/blog/events/community/add

    So the general idea is to add that URL to your menu, or as a link in the sidebar – or basically anywhere you feel is suitable – we don’t force a link to appear anywhere simply because people have widely differing preferences as to how and where they want to expose this.

    Does that clarify things at all?
