Awesome! I am happy you were able to figure out which the_field() portion.
Are you now seeing the shortcode text output on the frontend? Is the area where the shortcode should be blank or are you seeing this text:
[tribe_events_list organizer="#123" limit="2"]You do have the syntax right. Try using that shortcode in a page and you should see some results. If you don’t, then it’s not the syntax but rather that organizer probably doesn’t have upcoming events.

Thank you for elaborating Armando. I now definitely know what you are after.
We do not yet have the ability for users to get full updates on the calendar. We are working on that feature, and currently folks have used our current iCal feeds to do that, but it does not work great. Specifically it only updates the next ~20 upcoming events in your users calendar app.
I hope you can find a solution ideally suited for your needs. Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers!

On, could you maybe share a direct link to an event that’s not showing if the above doesn’t help?

Thank you for sharing that. You have an awesome looking site. It’s neat to see how you’ve customized things removing what you don’t need.
I ran your exact code on my website and it showed recurring events amongst the rest. Are you certain your recurring events fit within the criteria specified? The end date being within 60 days. The post would have to be published and public.

Howdy Cyndi,
Thanks for reaching out with your question. We definitely want to make the calendar as easy to learn as possible.
We do not have a printed manual. However we do have a pretty comprehensive set of articles for the plugin in The Events Calendar: Knowledgebase . You will probably noticed that first guide on there, New User Primer: The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO, is an excellent step-by-step walkthrough on how to setup the plugin, and use its basic features. Is that perhaps what you are looking for? If you prefer a printed version you could certainly print it out.
Cheers!

Howdy Rupert,
Thank you very much for sharing this. That is definitely not desired behavior, sometimes we accidentally enter spaces. I am logging this in our issue tracker so we can fix it in the future. It will likely be a lower priority than other bugs since this one has an easy workaround. But we will definitely still be fixing it as soon as we have time. Thank you again!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers!

Howdy James,
I would love to help you with this. Are you not using the WP Editor Role? Because by default the WP Editors can’t change settings on your website.
If you go into the WP Admin > Users > [Select the user] you will see a drop down list of roles. If you select “Editor” from the drop down then that user will be an Editor on your website and will not be able to edit settings (they won’t be granted the settings editor capability). Thus automatically they won’t see event settings, nor be able to change them.
Are you perhaps using a plugin or something to change user roles and caps? If so, I might not be able to help much. Those plugins sometimes break the default WP roles and caps, giving users the ability to edit settings and such. Sometimes you can fix this by changing the user capabilities to the default.
Does that all make sense? Does that answer your question? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy Nick,
That is a cool idea. Sounds like you are going to show the author’s events on their page?
I am wondering it the field itself is HTML encoded. If you temporarily remove do_shortcode() and just output this:
the_field(‘event_organizer_shortcode’, ‘user_’. $author_id )What happens? Do you get output? Are the HTML characters like quotes encoded in source code, like are they a quote or are they " ?
Does that all make sense? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Stephen,
Yes it will restart the period! It’s usually a very good deal because of this.
Do you have any other questions?
Cheers!

Thank you Marcella! I really appreciate that. They just forwarded me the database.
Getting it installed and running locally takes a bit of extra work than our usual thread. I will get back with you on my findings tomorrow or the next day. Let me know if you have any questions in the mean time. Cheers!
– Brook
You’re welcome James. I really wish I could be of even more help here, or that it was simpler to modify. I appreciate your understanding.
Nudging their expectations might make a lot of sense. Often times you want currently ongoing events to be listed for folks that are running late, or especially for longer running events.
What I meant by nudged the start_date is changing it to something after any currently ongoing event. If your current ongoing event ends at 11pm, then have the start date be 11:05pm. Make sense?
Cheers!

Thank you for giving that a whirl. It’s good to know none of those Pasge Templates are working.
So I have done a goodly bit of research here trying to see if anyone else has come up with a similar issue, nothing. I have been researching your hosts and some various things from your system info, but nothing is indicating what might be the problem.
Now that we have tried all of the easier debugging techniques, we are going to have to move on. Since you are with ASO, can you do a second WordPress installation in a different subdomain or directory? Add a couple of test events. Are you seeing the same issue? If not try adding your theme. Does the issue crop up now?
Cheers!

Howdy Christian,
That’s interesting. I can’t think of anything extra you should be doing. Would you mind sharing the code you are trying with us? Perhaps something will pop out as the cause.

Howdy Rosa,
Excellent I am happy that helped!
Just a friendly reminder, we strive to keep things to one issue per topic. When you do have a separate customization request please open a new topic. That said though I don’t want to send you away empty handed. The function you are looking for to obtain a list of categories is tribe_get_event_categories(). Our code inside of /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/details.php calls this function to display a list of categories. Here is what it does:
[php]echo tribe_get_event_categories(
get_the_id(),
array(
‘before’ => ”,
‘sep’ => ‘, ‘,
‘after’ => ”,
‘label’ => null, // An appropriate plural/singular label will be provided
‘label_before’ => ‘<dt>’,
‘label_after’ => ‘</dt>’,
‘wrap_before’ => ‘<dd class="tribe-events-event-categories">’,
‘wrap_after’ => ‘</dd>’,
)
);[/php]As you can probably see it follows the usual WordPress syntax here, allowing you to specify things like the label and wraps. Using this, you can output any HTML you need. From there it is up to you to style as needed. I hope this makes sense.
Cheers!
