Thank you for taking the time to report this Lisianne. I just tried duplicating the issue and found the same result, those two events are missing. I ran the iCal file through a validator and did find some errors, but none regarding those two events so that is a bit strange.
I am going to ask our resident iCal developer to have a look and see if they have any quess as to what it is about those two events that is causing them to not show. Then we can take things from there. Thanks again for the detail report, I will get back to you with the developers thoughts and ideas on how to proceed.
Cheers!

Howdy Steve,
That is definitely no good! It sounds like there might be a JS error on the page, preventing those categories from working properly. There are a few possible causes of that sort of thing:
- Are you running matching versions of our plugins? If you are running Commuity Events 3.11, make sure to also run The Events Calendar 3.11 and any other versions of our plugin should also be 3.11.x.
- Do you see a JS error in the browser console while visiting the community events page? Does it mention a plugin or anything that sounds familiar?
- If all else fails, then it is likely the result of a plugin conflict. There is a nice step by step guide for testing if this is the cause, and if so it helps isolate it so a fix can be found: Test for conflicts
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let us know. Cheers!

Howdy Zoe,
That is a good question. I’ll help you sort this out.
If I duplicate a post, shouldn’t all posts have unique names?
Fortunately, no. All posts do not need unique names. You will notice that the URLs (slugs) for them will be automatically incremented. So if you have two events named “Shoe Party @Hilton” the URLs will automatically become something like this:
- example.com/event/shoe-party-hilton
- example.com/event/shoe-party-hilton-2
And so forth. So, just naming those events the same should be fine, no worries there.
I do want to make you aware that as of 3.12, we should have a feature ready to fully support random recurring events. Once that has passed quality assurance and is released, you will be able to create these recurring series of events without a post duplicator!
Does that all make sense? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Rhonda,
That’s a great question. I would love to help you with that.
You are absolutely on the right track. You can find that file in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php. On line 58 you will see this:
<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $event_id, 'full', false ); ?>The ‘full’ bit is that part you want to change. You likely actually want to change it to ‘medium’. ‘thumbnail’ will probably be too small.
There is a “best way” to make a modification to that file. Basically if you directly modify the text in that single-event.php file, your change will be lost next time you update The Events Calendar. That’s no good! If you instead follow our Themer’s Guide, it will walk you through duplicating that file into your theme’s directory. Once it’s in the proper place in your theme folder, then you can modify it and you changes will stay when you update The Events Calendar!
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let us know.
Cheers!

Howdy Marc-Antoine,
Thank you for letting us know that this is something you would like to see as an option. I wish we could make all of our snippets options and make like super easy for folks like you. But, one thing nobody likes is a slow or bloated plugin. And so we have to take great care to only include features that the extreme majority of people will find useful. And in this case we have not yet seen enough demand for this feature.
Could I possible walk you through pasting that snippet? Paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, you can replace the first line of your functions file which will say “<?php” with the entirety of that snippet. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste that snippet inside of the next file.
Does that all make sense? Did that work for you? Please let us know.
Cheers!

Howdy Tim,
Thanks for taking the time to reach out. I would love to help you with that. But, I am not certain I understand the question. Are you asking for an ETA for when the ticketing plugins like WooCommerce Tickets are going to fully support recurring events? If that’s your question, I wish I had an ETA to give but we just don’t yet. We have a lot of high profile features we’re working on right now, but we still have a few more before we can resume work on that one.
Or, did I misunderstand? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Houman,
I would love to help you with that.
Both of those are definitely possible. We even have a tutorial for making fields like tags required in Community. If you follow the steps in that link, you should be good there.
As far as modifying the template to show a list of tags, that is also possible. You will need some PHP knowhow to make the modification and show a list of tags, but nothing more than most theme modifications. Again we have a tutorial for how to make theme modifications called the Themer’s Guide. Is that tutorial something that will assist you, or is that outside of your skillset?
Does that all make sense? Please let us know.
Cheers!

Howdy Rachael,
It looks like you fixed it! I am seeing 9-11am on the front end now to. I am happy it’s fixed, but please let us know if you need anything else or if for some reason you are seeing something different than I.
Cheers!

Howdy Jeremy,
That is certainly odd it’s not the right size. It should be easy to fix though with this snippet:
function tribe_eb_iframe_height_adjustor ( $html ) { return str_replace('height:200px', 'height:300px', $html); } add_filter( 'tribe_events_eb_iframe_html', 'tribe_eb_iframe_height_adjustor', 100, 4 );Paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, underneath the first line “<?php”. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste this text in the first line of the file “<?php”. On line 2 or 3, paste that snippet.
Does that all make sense? Did that snippet that work for you? Please let us know.
Cheers!

Howdy Jay!
By default all of our calendars offer an iCal export option. For example our demo calendar, which contains real WP meetup events, has one at the bottom of each page: http://wpshindig.com/events/
But that’s only for testing. Many people are importing from their companies Google Calendar or Outlook. Both of those allow you to export an iCal file, which can then be imported with the importer.
Does that answer you question? Is that what you are looking for?
Cheers!

Howdy Barry,
Thanks for reaching out. We’d be happy to help you get setup with a proper license key. We recently changed things so that you no longer need to manually download the plugin from an email, and upload it to your site. Now your site can automatically update!
To get enrolled with the new program, could you please email support at this website? We will take it from there!
Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

I follow.
It is definitely possible to do what you want. But, I am not sure if it will be of any benefit to you to build things that way.
Let me explain a little more about how WooCommerce Tickets works. When you add an event, you can add tickets to it. Each ticket is a “virtual product” in WooCommerce. Virtual products are those that don’t require shipping. When a user visits an event page they will see an option beneath it to add a ticket (virtual product) to that event to their WooCommerce Cart. From there WooCommerce handles everything. When they’re ready to checkout WooCommerce checksout all products in their cart, including any virtual products like tickets.
Now let me ask you, what user flow do you picture for someone who wants to purchase a “token” from you? This is how WooCommerce Tickets works by default:
- User views calendar, finds event they like
- User clicks on event, clicks but ticket for that event
- User checksout with WooCommerce, has a ticket for the above event in their cart. Once you approve the order, user receives an email with the tickets.
At which point do you want the user to buy a token instead of a ticket direct for an event? What is the benefit over the user just selecting the event they want and getting a ticket directly for it? Are they able to select multiple events instead of just one?
Regardless of your answer it is possible to build the feature you want with some modifications to WooCommerce. But, I am just trying to get a better understanding of what you want, and make sure our plugin doesn’t already do something similar and perhaps simpler.
Thanks for clarifying!
