Howdy Jeff,
Ultimately this seems to be the result of your theme using an older version of GT3. If I used the latest version, which is hosted on wordpress.org, I don’t get that issue. Unfortunately your theme isn’t compatible with the latest GT3. 🙁
At this point we will have to wait on the theme author to update their version of GT3 to the latest. Then it would seem this will go away.
Do you have any more questions or anything?
Cheers!

You are very welcome!
We are always interested in feedback from folks who aren’t as “seasoned” as you say. If you would like to see that become a feature, please don’t forget to suggest it on our feature tracker. That way other folks can vote their support as well. UserVoice (feature suggestion page for The Events Calendar)
Cheers!

Howdy Ash,
Most other event plugins I’ve used do, often called with simple shortcodes. Is there a reason for the omission?
We do have shortcodes, they just don’t have date limiters. You are actually the first I can recall desiring this particular feature out of the thousands I’ve helped. Though I would not be surprised if a few others wanted it as well, they just did not think to voice it.
Pay special attention to your date formats:
'start_date' => date($now), 'end_date' => date('Y-m-t', $query_date)The start date has no date format. It is ideal to specify it. The end date is Y-m-t. ‘t’ is the last day of the month for your query date, so it would be all events from now til Nov 30th (the month that is +2 weeks away). You probably want to use ‘d’.
Cheers!

Awesome. You are welcome John, I am glad we were able to jump on it quickly it’s working for you. Going to archive this thread. Happy calendaring!

Howdy Kevin,
In the interest of absolute honesty, we have no ETA on the short code feature. I just badgered the managers again about it. Hopefully we can begin building a timeline soon and then I can share it with everyone.
You are correct, if you have no desire to modify templates then there is no way to get the shortcode to appear on some events pages and not others. The shortcode won’t actually change that though. Even with a shortcode implementation, anything you put at the top of the page you embed the calendar in will have that at the top of every page within the calendar.
If you would like I could walk you through how to modify the templates to get your shortcode to appear only on some pages. Which pages do you want it on? There are the main “Archive” views, such as Month, List. Then there is the “Single Event” view. And some other archive views, such as Organizers and Venues.
Or if you prefer we can definitely get you a refund. We will happily provide one if the calendar is not meeting your needs.
Please let me know. Cheers!

The new version is out. Let us know if you have any difficulties or anything with this. Thanks again for the feedback. Cheers!

Hah! I wish that things worked magically all of the time. eventDisplay has made fools of us all, but I thought I knew all of its quirks at this point.
You are very welcome sir. I appreciate your understanding as well.
Since this is marker resolved I am going to archive it. Ta!

Thanks for your understanding. 🙂 Even better news, we are doing another minor release, 3.12.5, and the dev just said he ported the feature from 4.0 to this minor release. So, if everything goes according to plan the upcoming 3.12.5 will include recurrence labels as well!
Cheers!
– BrookHowdy Ash,
Your syntax isn’t quite perfect. You can not put an echo in there, and you don’t want to wraps your objects in single quotes or else they will be treated as strings.
$query_date = strtotime('+1 month'); $events = tribe_get_events( array( 'eventDisplay' => 'custom', 'start_date' => date('Y-m-d', $query_date), 'end_date' => date('Y-m-t', $query_date) // This selects the end of MONTH ) ); var_dump($events);This example will give you next months events. Next week is going to be trickier though as you will have to calculate the beginning end of the week, based on your local format such as when the week starts. T
his probably is not a very easy thing to build, and might require you to learn a goodly bit more PHP to get there. 🙁 If it is starting to sound too daunting, you might be interested in suggesting this as a feature: UserVoice (feature suggestion page for The Events Calendar) . Perhaps if you suggested “Add start/end date arguments to shortcodes” it would be something other people would be interested in, and we could add it to a future version of The Events Calendar. Or, you might be interested in hiring a dev to build this on your behalf. It might take someone experienced a couple hours or so.
Does that help clarify the code and such?
Cheers!

Howdy Allison,
I am sorry, I forgot to get back to you about this. Please feel free to set WP_DEBUG to false, which will hide those errors. You might not remove the debug bar or revert SAVEQUERIES just yet, as Kriesi themes might find those interesting.
The query on your site which is generating an error (I quoted it in my last response) is strangely quite different from the query that is running on my site when I have Enfold and Pro running side-by-side with a post slider. Here is my query:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS distinct wp_posts.*, IF (wp_posts.post_type = 'tribe_events', wp_postmeta.meta_value, wp_posts.post_date) AS post_date FROM wp_posts INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships ON ( wp_posts.id = wp_term_relationships.object_id) LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta AS wp_postmeta ON wp_posts.id = wp_postmeta.post_id AND wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_EventStartDate' WHERE 1=1 AND ( wp_term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id IN (1) ) AND wp_posts.post_type IN ('post', 'page', 'attachment', 'revision', 'nav_menu_item', 'wp_router_page', 'tribe_events', 'tribe_venue', 'tribe_organizer', 'portfolio', 'avia_framework_post') AND ( wp_posts.post_status = 'publish' OR wp_posts.post_author = 1 AND wp_posts.post_status = 'private') GROUP BY wp_posts.id ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 9Due to how your query is structured it is getting a duplicate column for post_date. Where as the properly structured one running on my system does not.
The reason why I am giving you all of this technical information is because this falls well outside our scope of support. Technically we do not support third party themes here at all, especially when the issue is one of their widgets. But, I did not want to send you back/forth between support teams if I could at all avoid if, plus the Kriesi folks have been awesome. I wanted to help even thought it violated our TOS and probably would have disappointed our support manager here. Unfortunately, I have to send you back to Kriesi at this point. We are simply not qualified to be diagnosing Enfold queries. I don’t know what could be affecting this, why it’s different on your system, etc. We are just not true Enfold experts here. Hopefully though when you go back with the extra information we have collected, they will know what is up. Maybe they will have a good idea of why the query is changing and what could be causing it to vary so drastically from system to system.
There is a possible hacky workaround. If disabling Events Calendar Pro is temporarily fixing the issue on your website, and you are not running any The Events Calendar widgets on your home page, you might be able to disable Events Calendar Pro from loading only on the home page. I have never tried this before, not even sure if it works. but the WP Plugin Plugin Organizer allows you to disable plugin for “any post type or wordpress managed URL”. It’s possible disabling Events Calendar Pro on your home page will work.
I really really wish I had better news.

Howdy Adrian Fusiarski,
I am happy you are so interested in our plugin. I just investigated events manager to see if they might have someexport options our calendar can import, such as CSV or iCal. I am not seeing anything that allows you to export the events themselves in one of those formats. 🙁
If you are pretty familiar with writing SQL Queries, it should be possible to export the data as a CSV then import that into The Events Calendar. However, you will likely need to do a few joins and such to get all of the data into one table, and export it from there. If you are unfamiliar with SQL but decent with Sporeadsheets, then you might export all of the data to your spreadsheet program and rework it into a single table. From there export that to a CSV, and import into the calendar.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Julie!
That should definitely be possible. It depends on how you (or the theme dev?) have setup the Courses post type. We can definitely walk you through this here if you have a Pro account, but would you mind logging in and opening a topic in the support section for that?
If you don’t have a Pro acccount, there is still a community of volunteers on WordPress.org: The Events Calendar . Customizations like this do not always receive a lot of volunteer help, but sometimes they do.
Let me know if you have any pre-sales questions or anything. Thanks!
