Ok that makes sense now. I am afraid that is done from your theme and not part of the Events Calendar.

It looks like your theme pulls the first featured image it can find to place in that area.

Not knowing how that coding work I would assume you would have to go in and modify that function using some of these conditionals on this page:

https://gist.github.com/jo-snips/2415009

To target the main Events Page.

Unfortunately, all my tips are going to be similar to that that as we do not have your theme and it is beyond the support we can provide on the forum for theme compatibility changes.

Hi media325,

Sorry for the troubles you are having with importing events. I can help clarify some of these errors.

First the Automatic Imports does reply on the wp-cron so that needs to be active for them to work.

“Facebook API Error: Unsupported get request.”

You are dealing with an Age or Country Restricted Event. Pages or Events that are run by Bars or related activities have an age restriction place on them by Facebook. Unfortunately, that means the Facebook API cannot import those events without changing the restriction setting. See instructions below on how to change that setting.

How to Change Age Restriction on a Page
Event with Age Restrictions cannot be imported in to your Event Calendar due to the Facebook API. However, you maybe to change the restrictions on the Page with the events yourself to import them.

If you are an admin of the Facebook Page or can contact the admin then you can head to your Facebook Page with the age restriction. Click on the Settings Tab and look for the Age Restrictions Box.Change the setting to Anyone(13+) and click save and try to import events again from your website. Not all Pages will be able to change this setting if Facebook considers it to be an alcohol related page or an adult page.

Facebook Profile

“Facebook API Error: (#803) Cannot query users by their username (backbeat.beatles.1):
Facebook API Error: (#803) Cannot query users by their username (thegetbackband)”

This error is caused due to a limitation in the Facebook API that prevent automatic imports from Facebook Profiles. That only works with Facebook Pages or Organizations. For events in Facebook Profiles you can only import them manually by the event id.

Image Errors

When actually manually running the import I also get image related errors.

That is a warning we are working to fix in the next release. In the mean time you can add this filter to your theme’s function.php to fix it. That error does not prevent events from being imported.

add_filter( 'tribe_fb_event_img', 'fb_import_image_ext_fix' );

function fb_import_image_ext_fix( $event_picture ) {
	if ( ! is_array( $event_picture ) ) return $event_picture;
	if ( ! isset( $event_picture['url'] ) ) return $event_picture;

	$length = strlen( $event_picture['url'] );
	$query_starts = strpos( $event_picture['url'], '?' );

	if ( false === $query_starts ) return $event_picture;
	if ( $query_starts < $length && $query_starts > 0 )
		$event_picture['url'] = substr( $event_picture['url'], 0, $query_starts );

	return $event_picture;
}

Let me know if that answers your issues.

Hello theimageworks,

Sorry for the issues you are having, I can help get this back on track with you.

I am unclear on exactly what you are asking. Could you clarify these statements:

The events page is setting the page featured image and page title to that of the last edited event. Please can you help resolve this issue.

Please provide the url’s for where this is happening.

Let me know and we can go from there.

Thanks

[Brian]

Hello,

Thanks for using out plugins, I can answer your question.

Is there a way that i can automate or speed up this process?

Unfortunately, there is not a feature to change the settings across everysite in a multisite. I only have heard of a few plugins that enable you to send posts to other multsites, but not to change the settings across a multisite.

[Brian]

So I retested the snippet this morning and it is working for me still on my site. I also tried your snippet in Pastebin and it worked for me as well.

I looked at the coolrunnings site and see the title tag for a event is “<title>Upcoming Events Roger Williams National Memorial Weekly Wednesday 5K Fun Run</title>”

So there is not bar separating the titles. So maybe there is some other coding that is conflicting with this and causing the issue?

Maybe if you increase the 10 in this hook:

add_filter(‘tribe_events_title_tag’, ‘ecp_filter_single_title’, 10, 4);

To something higher it will run after the other function.

There is not much we can do to help on this as it does not on a standard install without any customizations on it.

You could try commenting out any other customizations you have for titles and see if that makes a difference too.

[Brian]

Thank your for updating the plugin.

So it looks like there is a conflict somewhere that is causing the issue. To help narrow down the problem can you follow our Testing For Conflict Guide and see if that narrows it down:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/testing-for-conflicts/

Also, please confirm you are create new recurring events and not trying to change an event to become recurring. The Recurring Event only works if you do it on a new event that has not been previously published.

Let me know what you find out and we can go from there.

Thanks

[Brian]

Great, glad it helps, I am going to go ahead and close this ticket, but if you need any other on something else please post a new ticket.

Thanks!

[Brian]

That is to bad that does not work out for you.

I can try to help out, see my answer below:

are you able to at least point me in the right direction of what .php controls the moving from current event to previous events?

There is no process taking place it is how the whole calender system is built, events that have past are not moved to the previous events section the system just picks them up as previous events based on their date. One way to hide them from the previous events section is to turn them to a draft or delete them after they have expired.

Another way to do this would be to use this snippet to include categories: (by changing NOT IN to IN)

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/4b215d2b854a6f6cb649

And then use this conditional tribe_is_past() instead of this tribe_is_month() && !is_tax() in the snippet to target just the past events.

Then you can create a category (add it to the snippet) and assign it to events you would like to show on the Previous Events Pages.

That is a very simple explanation it could take more coding and work from you to get it exactly how you would like it. That for the most part is beyond the support we can provide so I will have to leave you to it to figure it out from here 🙂

Thanks

[Brian]

I can answer this to.

Can the Event Calendar be placed in Sidebar widget. Will the Event Calendar events in the Sidebar widget be able to “pop-up” to view the event, or does the event display on a “new webpage”!

It does not pop up all the event info, but instead you click on a day and it will show the events for that day under the calender and then you can click on one to go to the single event page.

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

[Brian]

Hi thanks for the interest in our plugin. I can help answer your question.

1. Can the event recurring feature –
a. place events on the SECOND Tuesday of each month or X months? I.E.: I have a meeting every second Tuesday at 4 PM – 5 PM of each month for 2014!

Yes using a Custom recurrence you can set it go every 2nd Tuesday of the month.

b. If I setup a recurring meeting on the LAST day of May (May 31), will my recurring meeting for June be on June 30th?

We have a setting to place the event on the last day of the month in the custom recurrences, so yes.

c. If I setup a meeting on the Second Tuesday of the month and the First Tuesday of the month is the first (01) day of the month will my recurring event be on the the Second Tuesday or the Third Tuesday?

It will appear on the 2nd Tuesday, if you need it to appear on the 3rd you would have to modify that event and change it, which is possible, but edited it becomes a single event and breaks out of the recurring series.

Last question: Is there a DEMO Event Calendar Pro website that I can log on and test your other features along with recurring events//

Unfortunately we do not have an admin demo.

Let me know if that answers your questions. Hope the surf is good, has not been very good out in Virginia!

[Brian]

Oh Ok, thanks for clarifying.

There is not feature to do that within the Events Calendar.

However, there is a plugin called The Events Calendar Housekeeper

https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-housekeeper/

It is an unofficial plugin, but should do what you would like.

Please backup your site before trying.

[Brian]

This is a unique case. I checked the site and the ones do not work are not showing any errors.

The way our system works is that it connects to Google Maps and gets the coordinates from the map from them.

So I am not sure there is much we can do if Google Maps does not recognize the address.

One thing we can do is have you try our Testing For Conflicts Guide and see if something is causing a conflict.

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/testing-for-conflicts/

Follow that guide and then see if the addresses work that did not before then we can go from there.

[Brian]

ok mmanous so you were able to fix it?

If you still have trouble after getting the plugins working again please create a new ticket and let us know your issue there as we can help you better in your own ticket. Also when trying to help you here it emails mdonhost everytime we post here.

So let us know and we can help either way with any issues.

Thanks

[Brian]

Sure I can help with that.

Using the function from line 296 from this file that I have mentioned before:

the-events-calender/lib/tribe-template-factory.class.php

I created this filter:

https://gist.github.com/jesseeproductions/3f91775fa341b35f0dd4

That should get you close you may have to modify it to get it exactly how you would like.

[Brian]

I can try to help out a bit here, but for the most part customization and figuring out customzations is beyond the support we can provide.

In the mini-calendar-widget file, I tried commenting out the PHP code on line 29 for the list. The list still shows.

The events under the minicalendar are loaded by javascript so you would have to remove that to prevent them from showing.

This function:

tribe_get_next_events_link()

Just grabs the links for next and previous views. It does not grab events nor take a variable.

To change the output you would have to change the values in the $posts variable on the top of the list-widget.php.

You can either use that variable and find a filter to change it or you can create your own custom loop and get the next months events. Either way it would take some php knowledge to get done and unfortunately I do not have a simple solution for you.
