Hello Taylor,
I would love to assist you. I am not sure I understand your question though. Are you trying to import Facebook Events? That feature and menu item will show up when you have purchased and installed Facebook Events. But it is not a part of Events Calendar Pro.
If you misunderstood what is included in Pro, and wish to purchase Facebook Events instead, please let us know. We can issue you a refund, and then you can purchase the cheaper Facebook Events instead. We process all refunds via email so if you need to go this route please email us support @ theeventscalendar.com.
Does that answer your question?
Cheers!

Hello Pablo,
Thank you for clearly explaining your question.
That is going to be extremely complicated to do. The search aspect is handled by WordPress as part of the WP_Query. If you want to include events in the results based on words found in their venue, you will have to do a pretty hefty modification of WordPress search involving some SQL joins and many other modifications to the standard WP search query.
It would be easier to include the venue itself as a returned result when someones search text matches the venue title or content. If they clicked on the venue it would then show them a list of events for that venue. This will still requires some good knowledge of WP queries and themes to accomplish though. You would add an action to pre_get_posts, and check that $_REQUEST[‘tribe-bar-search’] is not empty(). From there you could change the post_type to include venues. However, the venues will not have pertinent information for search results, such as start/end times. So you will need to modify the templates to account for this, and likely force all search to be done with List View (which is yet another modification).
Either way it won’t be easy. I wish it was, but building or modifying search queries is one of the more difficult things to do. Does that answer your question?
Cheers!

Howdy Ckas,
That is not yet possible with out plugin. However we are considering implementing basically that in the near future. If this is something you would like to see please vote your support on the official feature request (click here).
Please let me know if you have anymore questions. Cheers!

Howdy Jessica,
I would love to help you with that. It’s certainly possible to add some spans to the dates and times, allowing selective targeting with CSS.
Typically the date/time is output by calling the function tribe_events_event_schedule_details(). You can find the code for that function here: /the-events-calendar/src/functions/template-tags/general.php on line 1050. You can override the HTML output by this function with the filter ‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’. There are two ways to modify it:
- Using regex search and replace on the main $schedule variable find the dates and times then wrap them in spans. This will be difficult, there are a lot of optional elements so your regex will need to be very flexible.
- Option 2 is to create your own modified version of tribe_events_event_schedule_details(). The best way to do that is:
- Copy/paste the entire function tribe_events_event_schedule_details() into your theme’s functions.php.
- Remove the “apply_filter” line at the very end of this new function, which applies the filter ‘tribe_events_event_schedule_details’.
- Rename this function to something like custom_event_schedule_details. And add this newly renamed filter to the filter:
add_filter( 'tribe_events_event_schedule_details', 'custom_event_schedule_details', 10, 3 ); - Now you can modify the output of the function. In the middle of it you will see the $inner variable, which is forming the output HTML based on whether the event has a start time, end time, spans multiple days, etc. Add spans anywhere you need them.
So there you have it! Does that answer your question?
Cheers!

This customer conversation was continued elsewhere. For anyone else seeing a similar issue please double check your timezone settings in WordPress are accurate. That is the most common cause. It is also possible a theme override you created in the past needs updating, or that another plugin/theme is changing the WordPress TimeZone. Please feel free to open up your own topic if you need assistance. Cheers!

Howdy again Xross,
If you are interested in redirecting form one to the other then you could use Apache redirects, or any WP redirect plugin. Enter the two URLs, the one you want to redirect from and the one you want to redirect to. You’re done!
If you instead want users to stay on the /past-events/ page and not get forwarded to the current one, then you will need to edit the WP Rewrite rules. The most straightforward way would be to use add_rewrite_rule() to add the rule. This will /past-events/ to behave like the /events/?tribe_event_display=past page. However, every section of our plugin will still link to the original URL. If you wish to stop this, the only tenable way would again be a redirect. Only in this case you would want to forward from the old URL to your new /past-events/ one. There might be a few complications along the way if you choose to add this optional final redirect.
There would be your two methods of going about this. Does that answer your question?
Cheers!

Excellent. I am going to log this as a feature request. It will likely be included in our 4.1 release as the next 4.0 release is already in testing and can’t have more features added to it. Until it is included as a feature in the plugin, each time you update this change will be undone. Until then you will need to either readd that line, or ignore the update.
I will set this thread to be notified when the feature is ready to be released. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Howdy Joy,
That was our bad. Our license key server went down for a few hours this weekend. But it is back up, and if you try to register again you should be in the clear. Please let us know if for some reason you are still experiencing errors.
Cheers!
Thank you Canton! That is good to know. I will look into getting that fixed.
Happy you got it corrected. Let us know if you ever need anything else. Cheers!

Hello again,
Is that correct? What does the (max-width: 600px) actually mean?
The max width is referring to the screen width. Checkout that media queries link to learn more.
Depending on which iPhone you are targetting the screen width in browser is anywhere from 320px to 736px for the 6+. If you are targeting one of the newer giant ones you might need to bump the max width up.
Thanks for sharing a link to your staging server. I was wondering why you were seeing that popup on mobile to begin with. Now that I see your site I see that the responsive features in TwentyThirteen have been broken or removed. This means the site does not shrink to fit the screen of a phone, and the phone user must zoom in to see some things. It further means that instead of getting the shrunk down mobile view of the calendar (which will see in our demo sites like wpshindig.com) that has no popup tooltip, you are getting the desktop view which has a popup. It’s possible even making the above media query 737px will not work because your site’s responsive framework has been removed. You should certainly try it, but it might not fix things.
I wish I had more details on what was broken. I am not sure myself. But if you run the default Twenty Thirteen theme and view it form a mobile device, you will see how it and the events calendar behave on mobile devices.

Howdy Canton,
I would love to help you with that. That’s a good idea, I am actually log something similar as a suggestion for our devs to implement at some point.
You can make this modification yourself easily enough. It will require a small bit of familiarity with WP Theming, and our Themer’s Guide can probably get you most of the way there. Using that guide create an override for this file: /plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/widgets/modules/single-event.php. On line 24 you will see where it creates the dayname section. If you change this:
date_i18n( 'D', $postDate )to this:
date_i18n( 'M', $postDate )You will get the month instead. Does that all make sense? Did that work?
Cheers!

Howdy Thomas,
I can see how that would be useful to embed elsewhere. While we do not have a shortcode to embed the search box, it can be easily embedded as HTML anywhere that accepts a shortcode. To do that just copy/paste the following:
<form action="/events/" method="get"> <label for="tribe-bar-search">Search</label> <input type="text" name="tribe-bar-search" id="tribe-bar-search" value="" placeholder="Search"> <input type="submit" name="submit-bar" value="Find Events"> </form>Would that work for your needs?
Cheers!
