ParticipantHowdy Lorraine,
I would love to help you with this. We actually maintain a list of capable freelancers we’ve heard good things about: List of freelance customizers
Does that sound like what you’re looking for?
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Andrea,
I would love to help you with this. It’s totally possible to change the language to Spanish. Here is a tutorial that walks you through each step (click here).
I’m sorry the response time wasn’t what you expected! Average response time around here is under 12 hours. We do our very best to make sure it is always within 24. Yours is 13 hours old at this point.
Does that all make sense? Did that link help?
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Karen,
I would love to help you with this. Would you mind logging in so I can verify your support access? Once logged in coudl you respond with a URL to your website.
Or, if you don’t have/want a license (which includes a year of support) you should checkout the volunteer community on WordPress.org: The Events Calendar. It’s not the same level of support, but it’s free! We even check those forums once each week and help to the extent we can.
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Jeffrey,
Great question. The latest version of Events Calendar Pro is 4.0.6. It seems like your server is having trouble picking up the latest version. This commonly happens when there is no license key input. Did you input and save your Events Calendar Pro license key in WP-Admin > Events > Settings > Licenses? If so, mind visiting [yoursite]/wp-admin/update-core.php and clicking “Check Again”. Does the new version show up now?
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Mark,
Great suggestion. Thanks for sharing it! I just posted it to our official feature suggestion page, make sure to vote on it: https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas/suggestions/12457929-event-list-widget-add-category-to-displayable-it
In the mean time you could add the category manually if you know PHP and WP Themeing. Using a theme override you could modify the List Widget’s template to show categories as well. Details on creating a theme override ar found in our Themer’s Guide.
If I can do anything else for you, like elaborate a bit on the above, please let me know. Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy goannun,
That’s totally possible. It would be difficult to do elegantly via CSS, but via a theme override or pasting a snippet in your theme’s functions.php you can easily accomplish this. Here is a snippet:
https://gist.github.com/elimn/f34c591aa307c901711c
Paste that following snippet at the top of your theme’s functions.php file. Replace the opening “<?php” with this snippet, as this snippet includes that opening tag.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

ParticipantGood to know. I could definitely see the image still being broken, but did it get rid of the date/time? If not, does switching themes get rid of the odd date/time that should appear on the venue page? We need to isolate where that is coming from, as it is likely directly related to this issue.
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Win-River,
Thanks for sharing the detailed video!
Have you seen this guide yet Troubleshooting 404 Page Not Found error? What was the result of following all of the steps inside of it? Greg’s issue is 100% related to that snippet I shared in my last comment, removing the snippet causes it to go away. Were you using that snippet prior to visiting this thread? If not, would you mind opening a new topic and letting us know what you have tried in the 404 guide, and what the results are? That way we can keep this discussion focused on the snippet, and yours focused on your unique 404 error.
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Lars,
I truly appreciate your sharing your usecase, and feedback. I can see how some other people might be in similar shoes.
To be upfront I doubt we will ever introduce the hAtom format into the widget again. Just maintaining it on the other pages has proven to be a pain, because it breaks/has bugs pretty often. However, there is one glimmer of hope. We are considering switching away from hAtom entirely to a different easier to maintain microformat, and if we ever do it will likely be considerably easier to insert that format into other templates as needed. In the mean time though, the only guaranteed solution I have for you is the one I outlined above. You might checkout some examples on sites like this, it’s not super hard to implement if you have a CSS background: http://microformats.org/wiki/h-event
Please let me know if you have any questions or anything. Cheers!

ParticipantI saw that feature request! Thank you for suggesting it.
I dug around and found a couple of other people wanting a minute changing snippet as well. Usually when a few people request it, then we can get the budget to write it. So I did. Just updated this tutorial. It now supports changing default minutes and hours.
I would love to see that becoming a setting on the Defaults tab at some point. I suspect that once we have finished writing automated tests for most of our current code, it will make a lot of sense to add more settings like this to the defaults tab. Until then though we have to manually test every setting in our multiple times every couple weeks, often retesting it with various combos of other settings. So we need to see a lot of demand for a setting before we add it. Right now we only have 9 votes for default times, so it’s probably a ways off before it becomes a baked in option.
Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Laughmasters!
Thanks for taking the time to report a suspected inaccuracy!
This link: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/
Shows the incorrect path: the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/details.php
When it’s really: the-events-calendar/src/views/pro/modules/meta/details.phpI’m not quite sure what’s inaccuratehere. The file you suggested does not exist on my copy of The Events Calendar, I don’t even have a /pro/ folder inside of /the-events-calendar/src/views/ . However I am wondering if perhaps you meant to refer to the “additional-fields.php” file instead. In which case it can be found here (as you know):
/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/modules/meta/additional-fields.php
Thus you would want to put it in the following location in your theme:
/wp-content/themes/[YOURTHEMEFOLDER]/tribe-events/pro/modules/meta/additional-fields.php
It sound like our documentation was not clear enough on where to put the additional-fields.php file. Thanks for sharing that feedback. I whole heartedly agree with it, it’s article we plan to rewrite and simplify.
Did that answer your question?
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy laughmasters!
I can see your difficulty. That snippet was not designed to set the minutes. You certainly could set the minutes though if you write a modeled after that one. The relevant filter would be ‘tribe_get_minute_options’.
This is definitely going to require a decent measure of PHP knowledge to write though. I don’t your proficiency with such things, but if you don’t have that then above might sound a bit like greek.
Does that all make sense?
Cheers!

ParticipantHowdy Lars,
Thanks for researching this and sharing what you’ve learned. I would love to help you with this.
I had to dig up the topic you referenced, because I was surprised that we had ever planned to add more structured data to the list widget. I found the topic. I evidently was not clear enough with my wording there, and I apologize. I said:
There shouldn’t be any structured data showing for the widget, we are limiting that to single-event pages only.
What I meant by that is that the widget should not have structured data. Any data it had shown was a glitch, and one we planned to rectify. People were complaining that the event data was showing up on SERPs for every page that had the widget, instead of their regular structured data that was actually the main content on the page. To us that was a very understandable complaint, so we removed structured data from the widget to fix what people considered a “bug”.
If you want the data back in the widget you would need to add it as a customization. You could definitely do this using a theme override for this file: /events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php We have a step-by-step guide on creating such overrides in our Themer’s Guide.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

ParticipantThat’s a good plan.
With recurring events — does QR Code / On-Site Checkin process still work as expected?
It should work okay. You’ll have to manually check if their ticket is for that date, or another, as the system will check them in regardless. But, other than that…
Does view/print attendee list work, or if I understand your logic as explained,
that would generate a list of all people who purchased a ticket to any “recurrance” of this event ( ever )?It will print, export, and view for all event dates, not just a single occurrence. It also will not show your extra meta data. However, if you were to go all out in your implementation and save that meta data somewhere, in theory it should be fairly easy to add the data to all of the above functions. The table which lists that data is mostly a standard WP_List_Table. Adding the extra column to it will cause it to view on the checkin, print, and export pages. However there is one caveat, I cant think of a way to modify the table outside of directly editing the file which powers it: /the-events-calendar/vendor/tickets/src/Tribe/Attendees_Table.php
Hopefully that info helps. We’re really excited to launch this feature properly as soon as we can, that way no one will need hacky workarounds like I’ve described above. 🙂
Please let me know if you have anymore questions. Cheers!
