Definitely feel free to post any feature requests on UserVoice:

That also means other users can indicate their support.
For the sake of kicking ideas around, I’m inclined to think that it could be restructured (if you fancied diving into some code) so that either:
* It becomes div based, but is structured such that it can cleanly adopt table > table row > table cell display properties
* It stays table based and CSS is used – when the right conditions are met – to break it out of those properties, so that although the markup is still structurally a table it displays as if they were a set of divs
Or alternatively the browser agent or some other data could be used to decide that yes, it’s a mobile device, and switch from month view to list.
Hey Alain!
Please accept my apologies – this thread was overlooked and I didn’t respond in a timely fashion, though we do strive to update at 24hr intervals or even more quickly, weekends excepted.
In any case, can you confirm if you still need help – and if so are you still using 2.0.11 or have you updated?
Great. I’m going to ask the developers to look into and fix this, but in the interim you could try using this snippet (which you could add to your theme’s functions.php file).
Hopefully we’ll get a definitive fix in one of the soon-to-follow maintenance releases š
Hi all,
There does seem to be a problem here where for instance the initially-loaded month contains no events.
Please bear with me while I look into this.
Thanks!
Oh I see.
OK, well there are a couple of ways to approach this – it does rather vary with each theme, however.
If you are using the Default Page Template and that template does not include a sidebar then you could customize it and add a get_sidebar() call.
Alternatively, if you are using the Default Events Template you might customize that (your override would live in your_theme/tribe-events/default-template.php) and add a get_sidebar() call in there.
Does that help at all?
Hi bookthatevent2!
So what I think is happening here is that the excerpt (a short version of your main description) is being automatically generated based on the description itself – which is normal when a separate excerpt hasn’t explicitly been created.
This is probably resulting in the image being stripped out. What you could do here is change it so the full description shows instead. To do this, please familiarize yourself with our Themer’s Guide in the first instance:
https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/
Then, copy the following file:
wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list/single-event.php
Place your copy in:
wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/tribe-events/list/single-event.php
(You may need to create the tribe-events and list subdirectories.) Open up this new copy and near the bottom – around line 75 you will see a bit of code like this:
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>Try changing this to:
<?php the_content(); ?>Does that help?
OK – I mean if $post_id is set to an appropriate, valid value then that code ought to work as expected.
What is the value of $post_id? I know it seems like an almost too obvious point – but does it definitely relate to an event (how are you obtaining it)?
Remember that multiple queries and loops sometimes run to construct a single page, so you would need to catch this while the context is still an event related one, if that makes sense.
I would think it unlikely that you will find a generic widget. The Events Calendar uses custom post types, like many other plugins, but the additional meta data it uses to model individual events is likely to be very different from the structures used by comparable plugins.
For now, is there an easy way to remove the Calendar part of the Calendar Widget? The list that comes with that view is much closer to what I want.
Have you considered using the List widget, which lists upcoming events without a calendar grid?
Finally, is there a way to try and find someone to code this up for me. Iām a single person retail shop, so money is a fairly big issue, but I really need this.
Definitely.
We don’t take on things like this ourselves, but there are plenty of good WP devs available on elance.com and other freelancer networks – you can detail what you want and pick the most suitable bid for you budget.
Since the modification of the Events Calendar widget is such a selling feature, I was hoping that there was some shared repository or place for exchange of such modifications so that we are not all starting from scratch each time if there is someone else who has done what we are looking for.
That’s a great idea, and a number of extensions are indeed available on wordpress.org/plugins – but that isn’t to say there are going to be a plethora of plugins that meet your specific needs. We cannot I’m afraid force people to share their code – though plenty do, whether on wordpress.org, GitHub, directly here in the forum or elsewhere – such as on their own blogs.
I’m sorry but I can’t replicate this as you have described. Viewing and editing events other than the first in the sequence (ie, event number 3), assigning a category and updating all results in the chain of recurring events being broken in half – which is expected – but event instances are not arbitrarily disappearing for me.
When you update the event you should be presented with a dialog offering a choice between updating the current and all future events or just the specific instance – which are you selecting?
So far I’ve been unable to replicate this.
Hi Alain,
There is no easy means of making any events view display on your homepage – you would need to dive into some customization work to bring this about (and be aware that extra work would be needed if you wanted to avoid duplication between the homepage and the main calendar page).
This is all possible, but not something we can guide you through at this time.
Alternatively you could consider the approach used on our demo site at http://wpshindig.com/ (note that you are redirected to the events page automatically).
There are a few ways you might solve this. The simplest would be to do what you are doing and simply skip over any events where the start date (you could use the tribe_get_start_date() function) is in the past, based on a simple string comparison.
If you need something more involved, perhaps because you are building something that requires accurate pagination of results, then you might need to devise a custom query of your own.
