Hello,

Glad you were able to solve this issue.

I am going to take a look into it more and get back to you on it.

Thanks!

Hello Cintia,

I tried out your coding and was able to get it to work, but it may not be the best method to do this.

I checked your coding and was able to make some changes, but that method will not search out all instances of events and replace them to courses. It will only replace it if it matches exactly.

So for example I have “Website: “and want to change it to “Url:”

Your coding will work there, but if I have “Your Website:” It would not change.

If you are looking to edit all the instances it maybe best to use Poedit(free) and create your version of the language file with Courses instead of Events.

Here is more about poedit from the WordPress Handbook

Poedit

Here is a how to video

And here is another topic from our forum related to his that might help:

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/creating-an-english-translation-poedit-copy-question/

I hope that is enough for you to take it from here, but let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks!

That does sounds correct.

And The Events Calendar does not intend any use for the Author drop-down beyond assigning Post Authors. That field is generated by WordPress when creating a Custom Post Type and not something that we created specially for the plugin. Therefore, all customizations to Event Authors is done on the WordPress side and not through any of our plugins.

Since it appears you have you site working the way you want it, I am going to close this topic. Feel free to open another topic if you have any new issues.

If you do get stuck, please look through the replies I sent in this topic and see you should be able to do a little research on your own to get it working.

Thanks!

Ok, let me clarify as I used two different terms for the same thing, which can be confusing.

The Events Pro and Eventbrite and Plugins in themselves and they Add On to The Events Calendar.

For all purposes though they are Plugins, so please think of them that way.

To get all these working you are going to need three plugins.

The Events Calendar (this you can download by search under add new plugins.)

The Events Calendar Pro (this and the next one you have to download from your account here and then using the add new upload option to get the plugin on your site)

Events Calendar Eventbrite

All three need to be active plugins.

Once all three are active head to the Settings page and the license tab should be there..

Let me know if that solves it or there is another issue. related to this.

Thanks

Got it on your goals.

1) To allow Registered Users to create events with no back-end access,

This is possible through the Community Calendar and changing some settings on the Community Settings Tab of the Events Calendar to get it how you want it. Please follow the new user primer link for this Add On to show you all that it can do.

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

2) To create events as Admin, with the ability to transfer authorship to a Registered Users.

This is not possible without some customization to a Custom Role or the Method I outlined above using the User Switching Plugin.

Are you saying that there is no Standard Role for Registered Users that allows me to achieve my objectives stated above?

Yes your goals are not possible at the same time without some customization on WordPress’s side. As none of our plugins have options to customize roles or capabilities that is all on WordPress. Since this is a WordPress Customization, I am going to have to leave you to figure out the rest for your site, but here is the codex link explaining more on the roles. It may require you to do some more research on your own to get it right. 🙂

Hello Jeanne,

Let me try to clear up some confusion for you and no worries about having these issues I once launched a plugin and broke the whole thing because there was a _ instead of a – so it happens to all of us.

You are correct you do have two folders and that is required. The Events Calendar Plugin stores all the main files and the Pro adds features to the main plugin.

The Events Calendar and the Pro should both be loading CSS so as long as the Pro is an active Plugin and the license is set in the Settings it is working. One quick way to confirm is if you have recurring events as that is a pro only feature.

Could you provide a link to the page you are trying to turn the background white and I can take a quick look. Is it the Event background you would like white and the site background is already white, correct?

Thanks!

[Brian]

Marilyn,

I can help you out here and see if we can get this fixed.

I have a couple questions that will help me get a better idea of the issue.

Which Add On are you trying to Add a License For? The Events Calendar Pro?

Can you confirm that both the Events Calendar and the Events Calendar Add On Plugin is activated?

And you are talking about the License Tab in the Events Calendar Settings, correct?

Please answer those and we can get closer to solving this for you.

Thanks!

[Brian]

A Custom Role is a role created outside of the standards Roles for accessing and using WordPress. The Events Contributor is an example.

However, “Events Contributor” role is not created by any of our plugins, perhaps it was created by another? Once a Role is created depending on how a plugin does it, it remains in WordPress even if you deactivate the plugin.

You are correct the Authorship drop-down is intended for that, but only for Roles that can edit Events, Posts, etc, which is usually Admin, Editor, and Author Roles . It is a limitation of WordPress and not the Events Calendar.  So giving a role of Author to people would work, but also give them back-end privileges.

One solution is to keep the Subscriber Role and give people “ownership of an event”.

You can use the Front End Community Add Event Form and a Plugin Called User Switching to do that.

User Switching

Use the User Switching Plugin  to switch to a user you would like to have control of an event. Go the the front end community event add form and add the event as that user, then switch back to your account using the plugin. Now that user will have control of the event and can edit it depending on the settings you have in the Community Tab. The events a user will be able to edit are on the Community List link.

Add Link – http://yoursiteurl.com/events/community/add

List Link – http://yoursiteurl.com/events/community/list

It may require you to play around with the Settings on the Community Tab and the User Switching until you can get it right.

For your reference here is the New User Primer for Community Events that will explain in detail how to use it:

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

The other method I outlined above is another way to do this too with Custom Roles, but is more complex.

[Brian]

Your Welcome, since this topic is resolved I am going to close this topic, but if you have any issues with this or anything else please open a new topic in the forum and we can help you out.

Thanks

[Brian]

Ok, I would say it is a Role and Capability issue and that the custom role(Event Contributor) you setup does not have the capabilities to edit an event so users with that role are not showing in the author box.

Creating a custom role is beyond what we can help with here on the forum. So I am going to have to let you take it from here.

I would recommend using something like the User Role Editor Plugin that help you edit capabilities, it may take a couple tries to get everything together.

A tip for when you are making custom roles is to start with the role that can do what you want and then remove the capabilities you do not want. So in this case it most likely will be an Author as the lower roles won’t be able to edit an Event.

Thanks for using the Events Manager and if you have any other issues please open a ticket for use to help you resolve them.

[Brian]

Ok, let me get some more information from you to get a better idea of what is going on.

What is the role (Author, Contributor, etc) of the other users you would like to assign an event to? (you may know this, but the role is found in the user profile, just in case 🙂 )

And you are saying there is only two options available in the author selection for an Event, correct?

But if there as an Admin as the Author, then there is only one option to choose for the author, correct?

This information should help us narrow it down some more.

Thanks.

Joe,

There is a way to change the text for those links to “Next Event” and “Previous Event”.

You are going to want to follow the Themer’s Guide to get a copy of the single-event.php in your theme.

https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/events-calendar-themers-guide/

Once the file is there you can edit the coding that looks like this at the bottom of the file:

<h3 class="tribe-events-visuallyhidden"><?php _e( 'Event Navigation', 'tribe-events-calendar' ) ?></h3>
<ul class="tribe-events-sub-nav">
	<li class="tribe-events-nav-previous"><?php tribe_the_prev_event_link( '<span>«</span> %title%' ) ?>
	<li class="tribe-events-nav-next"><?php tribe_the_next_event_link( '%title% <span>»</span>' ) ?>
<!-- .tribe-events-sub-nav -->

Look for this %title% in each link and change that to the text you would like. Then save and that is it.

Let me know if you get stuck or need help on a step.

Thanks!

[Brian]

If you are talking about the custom structure field, you do not have to use that.  If you select the Post Name Option and then save you will be all set. You can select any of the other options besides default for The Events Calendar to work.

Thanks!

[Brian]

Hello Jake,

Pretty Permalinks usually just use the post title in the link instead of the id, so it is easier to ready and determine what the link is.

So:

http://example.com/?p=2424

Becomes this:

http://example.com/post-name/

Here is a link to WordPress Codex explaining all the Permalink Options you have and how to change it in WordPress.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Permalinks

Another going into more depth:

A Guide To WordPress Permalinks, And Why You Should Never Use The Default Settings

By default the Events Calendar Link is set @

http://example.com/events/

Community Events is  set @
http://example.com/events/community/add/

http://example.com/events/community/list/

Let me know if you need anything else related to Permalinks.

Thanks,

[Brian]

Hi,

I can help you get pointed in the right direction here.

The link to your Events Calendar is going to look like this:

http://yoursiteurl.com/events/

So you only need to add the link and not a shortcode, which is much easier! (And there is no Events Calendar Shortcode) 🙂

I looked at the link you sent and went to the Theme Forest Page, but could not find any documentation on how to add a link there.

They do have a Support Forum that maybe able to help out better then we can  on this @

http://fuelthemes.ticksy.com/

You might be able to use a hook in the theme to add the link in or edit it from a Child Theme.

I hope that is information for you to bring to them to get it changed how you would like.

Let us know if you would like anything else.

Thanks
