Okay, I got it working. Switched the Events Calendar timezone to local. Then updated my WordPress timezone. Thanks!

[Benjamin]

To clarify, can I change product categories to whatever I want without effecting Events and their Categories?

Yes, I understand that, but how can I change the WordPress timezone without changing the nominal time of my existing events.

Are you saying that by setting my Events Calendar timezone to local that will keep the Event times from changing when I change the WordPress timezone?

[Benjamin]

I’ve rolled my site back to a backup, because we couldn’t leave the events missing.

Question – Can I change my Woocommerce Product Categories? Do those categories have to match those in the Events?

[Benjamin]

Looks like the same bug is affecting the Events List widget.

Hi Geoff,

Sorry for the slow reply, I was on vacation. This worked perfectly. I was able to tweak the content with the new classes for the recurring event template.

Thank you for your help in coming up with a solution! I really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Geoff,

I’m all about cheating with CSS. In fact, I’d successfully written styles that gave me the result I wanted except… it relies on classes used elsewhere in the calendar, and I’ve been unsuccessful at finding a high level class that essentially means “this is a recurring event page” to limit the effect of what I had written.

Your CSS doesn’t work either. In effect it hides the description and image from the first event, but leaves the next two.

Working from this page:

http://charlottesvillecookingschool.com/class/three-part-series-everyday-cooking-skills-with-martha-stafford/all/

This CSS hides all the event info except the .tribe-event-schedule-details and then uses the .tribe-events-first class to turn back on the first event. The result is that the first event displays after which only the schedule details appear for each following event.

The problem is it screws up the calendar everywhere else on the site, because these are commonly used classes in the plugin.

Are you aware of a higher level CSS class that would limit the effects of this CSS to the recurring event page?

.type-tribe_events .tribe-events-list-event-title {
display:none;
}

.type-tribe_events .tribe-events-venue-details {
display:none;
}

.type-tribe_events .tribe-events-event-image {
display:none;
}

.type-tribe_events .tribe-events-list-event-description {
display:none;
}

.tribe-events-first .tribe-events-list-event-title {
display:block;
}

.tribe-events-first .tribe-events-event-meta {
display:block;
}

.tribe-events-first .tribe-events-event-image {
display:block;
}

.tribe-events-first .tribe-events-list-event-description {
display:block;
}

Hi Geoff,

So this hides the repeating price, which is a start, but it leaves the same content repeating for every event.

Shouldn’t we just display the content once with all the dates/times?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Geoff,

I haven’t been able to get satisfactory results.

Here’s our homepage:

http://charlottesvillecookingschool.com/

If you scroll down and look for the event called “THREE-PART SERIES: EVERYDAY COOKING SKILLS with Martha Stafford,” clicking that event brings you here:

http://charlottesvillecookingschool.com/class/three-part-series-everyday-cooking-skills-with-martha-stafford/all/

This is a recurring event with a one-time fee, but the page is confusing. It displays each class in the series as though it were a separate event with a separate price, but then it uses the same content in each instance.

Per your suggestions:

1. Hiding the “See All” button won’t work, because clicking the event takes you to this same page as well.

2. I haven’t been able to find a setting that would fix this problem.

3. If I use CSS to hide the second 2 instances of the event, then you only see the date and time for the first event, which is also incorrect.

I can imagine two fixes that make sense:

1. If we could manually edit the second two events (and hide the price), then it would look like a single multi-date event. But per your last response, it sounds like Single Edit splits the ticket (so this won’t work).

2. If we could add the date and time for all three events to the first instance and hide the other two, this would also work.

Thanks for your help,

Ben

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for your help.

Here’s the issue we’re wrestling with. We have a three part event, which we added to our calendar as a recurring event. We also created a ticket for the event. We’re using Event Tickets Plus with The Events Calendar Pro.

When you click on the event in the calendar view or when you click “See All” in the Listing or Photo view, you arrive at a page, which lists all 3 events with the price beside each event. This is confusing, because 1. The ticket is for attending all 3 events not just one, and 2. the information is the same (repeated three times) which is not helpful. We’d either like the event listed once with the dates for all, or we’d like to customize each one. We thought of editing them individually (single edit), but per your reply that would break the ticket up. It’s confusing that the price would be listed multiple times although it’s a ticket for the entire recurring event, yes?

Is there a way to create a ticket to a multi-day event?

[Benjamin]

Nico,

Thank you, this worked great!

I opened another ticket for my other issue, as it turned out I was running into PHP memory limits, which I hadn’t previously hit. Apparently WordPress 4.5 was consuming more resources and The Events Calendar just happened to be the biggest plugin I was running, so it was the post type that happened to keep timing out.

Thanks again,

Ben

[Benjamin]

It looks like I’m running into PHP memory limit issues. But why it is The Events Calendar Pro alone that is causing it I can’t explain. Is this plugin heavy on resources?

I’ve added a php.ini file into my wp-admin folder, and it appears to be working.

Thank you your help!

[Benjamin]

I’m pretty sure that earlier today it didn’t work, but I just retried and with all plugins turned off but The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro and the 2016 theme – it does work. It also works with ET’s Divi theme and just the Events Calendar, but as soon as I activate the Events Calendar Pro – I get a 500 error when I try to edit an event or post.

I’ve used the Divi theme and Events Calendar Pro in the past. Is there a known compatibility issue? This is a widely used theme.
