Howdy Kevin,
The Next and Previous links only show up when there are events in the future (next) or past (previous). If there are no future events, that link will not show up. This prevents wild goose chases. To get said link to appear, just add an event in the future for it to point to! Does that make sense?
If you wish to modify this behavior, I believe I colleague of mine has a snippet that will force those links to always show regardless of past or future events. I will gladly dig that up for you. Cheers!

Howdy sjbennett,
That’s a good idea. You can find that page in /community/edit-event.php. You can modify that particular template pretty easily by following this tutorial.

Howdy again Glenn,
Thanks for the screenshots. I am not sure what caused that glitch. The only bug that I have ever seen with a symptom like that was caused in very specific circumstance when a user upgraded to version 3.3 of our plugin, and it was fixed immediately in version 3.3.1.
It seems probably that this is not a bug, but a quirky bit of circumstance. Something that could have caused this: a malfunctioning post duplicator. Possibly hitting the submit button too many times depending on how you’ve submitted. An odd recurrent pattern. A cat walking cross the keyboard. At this point, if I were you I would not worry about it unless it happens again. If it does happen again, can you think of anything similar between these two events? Could you provide a link directly to the duplicates so that I can examine them and maybe find something myself?
Knowing that, are you still worried about this? Is there anything I can do to help or set your mind at ease? Thanks for posting!

Howdy glennpackham,
That is an interesting notion. First of all about the duplicate button. What are you trying to use that for? Are you basically trying to create a recurring event that does not fit into the usual patterns like first Monday of every month? If so, we are soon releasing a feature that will allow “free form” recurrences. i.e. you can pick any day that you want a recurrence to happen on, and add as many of those as you want.
If instead you just want a duplicator, you might try the “Post Duplicator” plugin in the wp.org plugin repository. A few of our users have had success with that.
Finally, I can see why you want to sort by the puhblish date instead of a start date. Unfortunately to do that will require a fair bit of program. It’s totally possible, you just have to know how to tamper with SQL queries a little bit. Checkout the file /lib/apm_filters.php. You would need to create a duplicate and renamed copy of the class ECP_APM_Filters, then unhook the current one from WP Actions its associated with. Now you could add the publish date to the list of filters, and it make it sort by the by default.
Does that all make sense? Does that answer your questions? I am happy to expound or do whatever I can to further assist. Cheers!

Howdy glennpackham,
That is a cool idea. I am surprised I have not seen anyone else think of it before.
The function to get that string of text “Every day until Jan 3, 2015” is tribe_get_recurrence_text(). Just echo that. But, where do you put it? That is a good question! And without more information I am afraid I can not answer. That string of text appears in the widgets on our site, tooltips, and I believe a few other places as well. Do you have a link or screenshot to the page that you wanted to change it on?
I had an awesome holiday! I hope you did too. It is good to kick back every now and again.

This appears to be a duplicate of this thread: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/hide-organizers-in-community-events-settings-submit-an-event/

Howdy carcal1,
There absolutely is a way ro hide the saved organizers. You could create a theme override (tutorial link) for the file /community/modules/organizer.php, and remove the bits you don’t want! It does require a little bit of knowhow for modifying themes.
Here is a better description of the Access Control bits. The trouble is, there is no “best” setting for this page. For one, the page is probably unique to your site and will include a few custom roles created by other plugins. If you wanted to be extremely safe, you could check all of the boxes. However, then your Editors, Authors, and such won’t be able to edit events they have submitted via the community form. You have to decide if that is what you want, or not.
Does that all make sense? I am happy to expound, or answer further questions? Just please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy replicka,
I want to be sure I understand you. You are saying when you go to Wp Admin > Events > Import: Facebook, and input a Facebook event ID then click “Import”, that the newly imported event does not have a photo? If so, would it be posible for you to provide a link to the event you are attempting to import from Facebook? If you want to share said link privately with me just check the box “Private Reply” before hitting submit. If I misunderstood, could please clarify? Cheers!

Howdy cgarwriter,
Hmm. It would appear that this is not even an Events Calendar page. Do you perhaps have a page or post elsewhere on your site with the slug “event”? It would appear to be loading that instead. We should probably delete it. If you click through to this page, you should have an “edit post” link in your WP Admin toolbar. Click that, then click send to trash. You should probably then visit your trash, and click on the checkbox next to the post then click “Delete permanently”. Once that is deleted then try flushing permalinks as outlined here (different problem mentioned but the steps it walks you through will work here too).
Did that work? Are you seeing the events pages now when you click Find Out More?
– Brook
Howdy cgarwriter,
Good question. We have a good tutorial for this that I think you will find helpful. If you follow those steps, does it disappear like you want? Cheers!

Howdy medusa5,
Presumably when you visit WP Admin > Events > Settings > Display, and find the setting “Time range separator” you will see “kEurope/TallinnReede” in there instead of ” – “. If you change this to a dash it will go back to looking normal.
If that is not the case, then it is possible that something has overriden this setting with what appears to be a timezone. In that case, it might be wise to try a conflict test and try to find out what is doing this.
Did that work? Please let me know. Happy to further assist or answer any more questions you have. Cheers!

Howdy mgmg,
Those links also rely on JavaScript to work. Odds are strong that there is still a JS conflict with your theme, or perhaps another plugin. A conflict test can help you narrow that down to which plugin or theme. Could you try that?
Also if I want to change the events calendar widget that’s in my sidebar to be brighter colors…. say from the #666666 gray to a red, what’s the easiest way to do this… there are so many files I don’t know which css file to edit.
Good question. Personally I just create add a line of CSS to a new CSS file. I usually store it in my theme or child theme. So if for instance you wanted to override the rule:
.tribe-events h2{ color#666; }I would create a new CSS file, or add to my existing CSS file, the following rule:
body .tribe-events h2{ color#f00; }Since that rule is more specific it override the others. That’s arguably the easiest way. The second easiest is to follow this section of the themer’s guide.
Does that all make sense? Did that work for you?

Howdy travellearner,
That is sort of a common problem. Recently our plugin stopped “flushing permalinks” when it is activated or deactivated. 🙁 This is a problem, and causes 404 errors on single-events pages. I know you have tried switching permalinks, but if you did it at the wrong time that would not truly flush. We have a tutorial that walks you through doing this flush the proper way, do these steps work for you?
PS. We are fixing the above pretty soon. I am not happy with that bug at all.

Howdy miconexrsgs,
That’s a cool modification. You are certainly on the right track. There is one thing to keep in mind though, the WP theme/template is the outer region that surrounds the content. The Organizer override that you made is for the content itself, it can not override the outter template.
Usually when people want to do something custom on a specific page, they just use one page template. However, they add their special stuff inside of PHP conditionals like:
if(tribe_is_event_organizer()) { //do magic }If you do not like that method you could attempt to override the template itself for the organizer page. You would need to tap into the WP filter template include, with a priority of 11 or more.
Does that all make sense? Does it fully answer your questions?
– Brook
Howdy Alex,
Usually folks put custom CSS inside of child themes, that way they can continue to update their theme without undoing their changes. The WP Codex walks you through creating a child theme. The style.css file that you create in the above steps is where you’d insert the code. Alternatively, you could try and find a plugin, perhaps this one, that helps make this process more friendly to those who don’t want to use child themes.
To target the photo view use this CSS instead, assuming you hid the div with display:none.
body.tribe-events-photo .hide-me-content{display:block;}Would it be possible for you to direct any followup questions to a new topic? We try to keep our threads to one issue and one customer, as we have found it helps keep our support orderly and helpful.
On that note I am going to archive this page, since it has done for a period without activity from the original poster. If either of you do have any followups, feel free to open a new topic. Cheers!
