Thanks for giving that a try Kerry. In the past week we have had some developments on this. We have a much more robust solution we are working on that will be released in the next few days as a true plugin update. That should resolve this issue. So when you see the iCal update in your WP Admin, update it and you should cease experiencing this issue.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Howdy Anthony,
Thank you for checking in. I forgot to report back my findings! I am sorry for the delay. I appreciate your patience.
The error in your console was likely this:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceededYour ics file contains a little over 5000 events, many of them recurring ones that will thus spawn more than 5000 events in the calendar.
You will likely need to break your ics file up into smaller chunks to import it. I tried simply adjust PHP’s Maximum execution time from 30 seconds which hides this error. But even still the file was simply too large and overwhelmed the site.
If the calendar utility that you are exporting the .ics from allows you to do smaller sets of data, say a couple months worth of events at a time, you might try that. Or if you prefer there command line utilities like this one to break up .ics files into smaller chunks.
I am sorry that you can’t do them all at once. That would be cool. But most website servers are nowhere near powerful enough to handle 5000 events being created at once. We actually have a batch background process for anything more than 10 events, because anything more is pushing it on some servers.
Does that make sense? Are you able to break up the ics file and trying importing the smaller portions one at a time?
Cheers!

Howdy Kurtis,
My apologies, I must not have been very clear. You do not need to override the default-template.php file. That explains why you are not seeing what you are looking for. You want to override this file:
events-calendar-pro/src/views/pro/week.phpAnd then from there, use the function tribe_event_featured_image() as outline above. You likely want to insert that image either directly above or underneath the ‘modules/bar’ line.
Does that make more sense now? Cheers!

Howdy Ginger,
When you say you can run the calendar without a surrounding theme, do you mean that the mini calendar would be on its own page and I would just use an iframe to insert it into my home page?
What I mean is that you can make a very easy modification to any of the stock WordPress themes that would cause the calendar to show up on a page without any other WordPress stuff being visible. Here are the steps:
- Create a new Page Template by copy/pasting an existing one. Delete the header, footer, and sidebar from this template.
- In your WordPress admin go to Events > Settings > Display, and select the new template you created. Now when you visit the front end calendar the only thing visible is the calendar. You can switch between list/month views, click through to any event, etc. and never see anything WordPress like in your travels.
- So, now you can embed that calendar page as an iframe anywhere on your existing site.
It’s a bit of a workaround, but it works.
Please let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers!

Howdy again Bob,
I am still catching up with all of my threads from this weekend. Please pardon the delayed response.
Is this a newer version of iThemes builder perchance? Do you have more child themes than usual?
When you get that blank page are you noticing anything in your error logs? http://wpengine.com/support/how-do-i-access-the-phpapache-error-log-for-my-account/
I don’t think it’s a WP Engine issue. Their caching system is a bit unique, but that is mostly for DB queries. Same goes for their DB throttles they have in place. We have occassionally had issues there, and worked with the fine folks at WPEngine to resolve them. But something like this is unlikely to be caused by WP Engine’s unique platform in my opinion.
Let me know about the above questions, or if you have any more questions of your own. Thanks!
– Brook
Sounds good. Thanks for getting back. Since is resolved I’m going to archive the topic. Don’t hesitate to reach out again should you need anything else.

Thanks for the report Valu. We have been changing text domains of late. I’ll give that a look.

Howdy Scott,
That’s a good question. You are not alone there, I have seen one other of our users want to add a tags field as well. Perhaps there are more? If you are interested in seeing us add this feature at some point in the future, please suggest it as a feature on UserVoice.
If you are pretty saavy with the WP API and PHP, you could add this field. You could include the WP tagging JS on the community events page. I don’t even think you’d need to modify the scripts themselves, just include them and add a field with the same HTML ID/name attribute on the front end. From there the tags should actually be processed once submitted. I have not tested this, but our plugin appears to already processes that post data if it’s included in the form. So merely including it will cause them to be saved upon submit.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let us know.
Cheers!

Howdy Ginger!
We have talked about building something like that, perhaps as a service. But, at the moment The Events Calendar is only available as a WordPress plugin.
I hope you can find something that works for you. You can run the calendar without a surrounding theme, and then load those pages via an iframe within any website. But that might be too complicated for your goals.
Please let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers!

Howdy widhi,
That’s an interesting request. Our plugins do not support having a different price per ticket. Each order does have a unique order # though. Perhaps you could request when folks pay they input the order # in the bank’s transfer notes. Would that work?
Cheers!

I should mention, it should now appear in your My Account menu in the upper right. My Account > Licenses to get the key, and My Account > Downloads to obtain the plugin.
