Howdy Miah,
I must apologize. I am sorry for our late response. Your topic’s status was marked incorrect and was thus lost from our queue for a spell.
We are the Harvard Club of New York. We have events that members can register for. Payments happen outside of the web-based interactions – so NO e-commerce (i.e. EDD, Woo or Shopp) needed.
That sounds good. In looking over your needs you might still be interested in WooCommerce Tickets or Easy Digital Downloads Tickets. Both of those allow free events/or events where the purchase was made separate. So you won’t have to setup payment features or anything, you can just use them as basic event managers.
On Member’s Side
———————————
1. Allow members to register for events (without e-commerce) and choose # of seats.
2. Get an email confirmation.
3. Allow members to cancel a registration.
4. Query and how a list of upcoming events the member has registered for.WooCommerce Tickets does both 1 and 2.
#3 is probably less automated than your are picturing. People can cancel but they will have to send you an email and you will cancel on their behalf.
#4 Is basically built in. The Woo My Account page is where a customer can view all past orders.
On Admin’s Side
——————————–
1. Set max # of participant for an event.
2. Set max # seats (party size) per registration (a member can reserve/book)
3. Set cancellation cut-off date/period.
4. Set email template for members’ registration confirmation
5. Have a Check-In Sheet for organizations to check in attendees on the day of the event. Export check-in sheet at the end of the day as Excel/CSV.1, 2, and 5 are features of WooCommerce Tickets. #3 will be handled manually anyways, so that is also doable. I am not quite sure what you mean by #4. You can specify the email template for all automated emails such as order receipt and the email which contains the ticket/code to use while checking in.
Non Booking Related Feature Extension
————————————————–
1. Admin Sets Status of Events (could be done with meta fields)
2. Show a grid view calendar on the admin UI for event editors + Color code events in the grid based on Event Status#1 is definitely a feature of our calendar. #2 is not. You could certainly write a customization to do that though. A similar one has already been written by a community member for colorizing categories: The Events Calendar Category Colors.
Does that all make sense? Does it answer your questions?
Cheers!

The reality is that whenever anyone leaves the current month to the next one, they will not see what is (in fact) there?
That is correct, unfortunately. The only work around is to downgrade to 3.10 (click here for a guide). This is set to be resolved in version 3.12, if not sooner (3.11.1). Once that version is released, you will be able to update and not experience any error. Would downgrading be a possibility for you? If you did not experience problem on 3.10, then you should still be fine. There were only a few people who experienced errors on that version, most of them had very slow web servers.
Cheers!

You’re welcome! We are working on QA’ing the new code. We found one bug, but it is likely to be resolved late today if not early tomorrow.

Howdy fbnfarmers,
Thanks for clearly outlining the problem. That does sound strange. You would definitely want to be running matching versions, it’s good that you’re trying to get everything on 3.11.
What if you tried a manual update as outlined in this guide? If everything else is already on 3.11, then just manually update the core plugin as well. Does that work? Please let me know if I can assist along the way. I want to get you back up and running. If that does not work, you might enable WP_DEBUG so you can see an error message instead of a white screen. The error message might be informative.
Cheers!

Howdy Haurand,
I am sorry to hear that you are having issues. Have you tried a permalink flush? The first steps in this guide walk you through how to do that: Troubleshooting 404 Page Not Found errors. Does that fix things?

Howdy again Richard,
I took a look at your site andinvestigated the error. It does not appear to be a CSS issue, and no JS error is thrown. The likely cause of this error is the Google Maps in your footer. Sometimes other plugins load a different version of Google maps that overrides the usual one, and this can cause problems.
Trying to integrate the theme might be a bit problematic and require some PHP knowhow, but I will do my best to break it down. First, you might try disabling the footer Map in your theme. If there is a setting, try that. If not, try dequeueing the scripts and hiding the element from displaying. Does our Gmap now display? If so, try unhiding the element. Do they both display? If not, you will likely need to try our a different way to show your gmap in the footer. Perhaps a different plugin, or writing your map using the API loaded with Tribe’s plugin which you could enquque on every page.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Richard,
I am sorry that is giving you trouble. That is indeed a known issue. We plan to fix it soon. I just added your topic to our list of folks interested in a fix. We will notify you when one is ready. Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!
– Brook
Howdy Marcelo,
That’s a very understandable need. We are actually working hard to add that feature soon. We plan to do a public beta once it’s ready for feedback and testing. Would you like me to add you to our list of beta participants? Even if you don’t want to engage in the beta, you will still be able to enjoy this feature once it’s released.
Cheers!

Awesome! That’s what I expected. I might not have been clear before, but I was saying you should copy the location columns to a new spreadsheet. That will be your venue spreadsheet. You do not even need to remove those columns from the original event spreadsheet, as when you go to import the events it will allow you to select which columns you wish to import. Simply do not select the venue location columns, since those will be in the separate venue spreadsheet you just imported. Just set the venue name to the street address, and it will cross reference everything.
This might make more sense once you give it a whirl. The CSV importer is part of our free plugin The Events Calendar as well, so download that and you can try it out. Cheers!

You’re very welcome Cesua. I am really happy that might work for you. That link about downgrading to 3.10 contains a great guide (click here).
Downgrading from 3.10.1 to 3.10 should be very safe. I have done it a few times this past week and have not noticed any issues like deleted events or otherwise. Even still as outlined in the guide, it does not hurt to err on the side of safety. If you make a backup first you are guaranteed there will be no loss of anything if for some reason there is a problem.
If you have questions about any of the steps please let me know.

Alright I have some good news and some strange news. The strange news is that Facebook appears to have broken v2.2 of their API, which our plugin uses. They state everywhere that it’s supported until 2016. It’s rare to see them break anything.
The good news is that v2.4 of their API is still working, and so our developers are already hard at work writing an upgrade to the Importer plugin that will use the newer version. If no bugs are found in the new version we’re working on, then we are set to release it later today or early tomorrow. That version will be Facebook Importer 3.11.1 and will fix this issue.
It’s also possible that in the mean time Facebook will discover their error, and restore import functionality for the current 3.11 and lower versions. Either way this will be taken care of ASAP. Thanks for letting us know about the glitch!
– Brook
Thank you guys for the prompt report! I will take a look at this immediately. Going to consult with some devs and get back to you.
– Brook
Excellent! I am happy to hear that. Let us know if you need anything else. I am going to archive this particular issue since you’ve marked it resolved. 🙂

I did some more research on this Cesua and found that this bug is new to 3.10.1. If you are interested in downgrading to 3.10 for now, you should not experience this problem. I am not when I testing on 3.10. If you did not have any issues running 3.10, then you should be good. 3.10.1 did include a few bug fixes, but those did not impact many people.
Would that work for now?
