Howdy again corre,
I have lied to you, purely by accident. This is what happens when I rely on memory.
About 3.4 of our plugin we discovered that Facebook had changed their API. This change allowed us to import individual events that were created by users, something we could not do before. This had added functionality to our plugin without us know about it. All of our wording throughout the site and plugin still reflected that importing single events from a user account was impossible, even though it actually worked flawlessly. So we updated the wording of our plugin to reflect this.
Buuuut, I had mistakenly remember that this enabled us to batch import single user events as well. That is incorrect. You still can not batch import events created by users, they must be from an organization or the like. You can import user events though, just copy their event ID into the import box. You can import multiple user events at once as well, but you will need to copy each of their IDs as a new line into that same import ID box.
My apologies. đ

Howdy dealerdan,
That is a great question. It is possible. The meta field ‘_EventStartDate’ and ‘_EventEndDate’ can be used to filter out events based on their start and or end times. Since you are already modifying that query, try adding some parameters that would filter out events based on their start or end times (use the end date if you want currently ongoing events to be included on the page). Keep in mind though that the purpose of the tag page is partially for search engines. By removing archived items from an archive page like tags, you could be causing your site harm in unexpected ways. But, if that is your wish, the above is how I’d do it.
Hopefully that makes sense. If I can answer some more high level stuff regarding this please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy Jonathan,
Have you download, installed, and activated PRO to your website yet? The first video in the tutorial walks you through that process. By the end of following the tutorial you should see recurring events show up. Sometimes folks get confused by the fact that PRO is an entirely separate plugin, and needs to be downloaded. Basically it adds feature to the Core plugin. So you have to run them both in tandem and make sure they are activated.
If that does not solve things for you, would you mind opening a new topic? This one actually should be closed since Sophie’s issue was resolved. We do not want to spam her inbox if we can avoid it. Thanks!

The tutorial is updated! Thanks again for pointing this out.

Oh I get what you meant by DESC now. I though you were trying to say that the order was reversed.
Really that issue boils down to that fact that our code checks to see if there is an upcoming event. Technically an event which is still going on right now is upcoming in our API. That is because most of our customers want that, like those who have 3 day events that last all weekend want people visiting their site to see that event if it still has another day left. Buut we certainly do not want our fast forwarder to rewind the calendar months. That is unexpected and could be solved by simply checking to see if the upcoming event’s start date is actually in the past. If so, use the default start date. The event will still be listed, but the calendar will show the current month.
Like I said, I am talking to the devs about a fix. I will let you know when we have one. In my mind if just involves a simple check at the end of the code snippet, but I do not have access to edit that snippet so I have to run it by some others. Thanks for clarifying.

Awesome that you were able to just it run it through wp_enqueue_scripts. That’s a great idea when it is possible.
I noticed that there are no <script> elements near the bottom of a page. That is pretty unusual for WordPress. Is it possible that you are not calling the wp_footer() function in your theme?
If don’t know if this will be helpful at all, perhaps you are quite versed in this already. But if not the WP Theme Guidelines page can be helpful. It is a bit difficult to parse. But it does have useful links like the Theme Check page which outlines how to make your themes thoroughly compatible with WP Plugins and such.
Let me know if that footer tag was missing. It sure looks like it, but maybe I am off. Thanks Laura!

Howdy heritagechurch,
Indeed we have seen a few issues like this recently. Mostly as a result of Series Engine. It seems that a recent change made it so that the default WP Timezone was changed by that plugin, which affects all other plugins installed. That can be an issue when other plugins like ours rely on the timezone that WP itself sets as a baseline.
We are considering some options on our end to see if we can make our plugin more resilient. In the mean time one of users found a work around. They say it works! But, it might actually cause Series Engine to malfunction. I have seen no reports of that, but it is a concern because it basically switches the timezone back to the WP default which Series Engine is evidently relying on it not being the usual. Anyways if you would like to give it a whirl, feel free. Just note that it involves directly modifying our plugin, so you will have to remake this change when you update the plugin. At least until we are able to work out a solution with Series Engine, then simply updating their plugin or ours will fix it for you.
Does that make sense? Any more questions? Please let me know. Thanks!

Howdy Juri,
When you create an event in our plugin it will add it the calendar. One of the possible ways to view events is by month, as seen here. So in your case if each event were a class, they would each show up on the calendar just like that. Clicking on one takes you to the event/class.
With our WooTickets plugin you can add tickets to each event/class. In this case it sounds like you would want just one “ticket”, basically the sign up fee for enrolling. You can add that as a ticket. When a user visits the event page as described in the first paragraph, ad the bottom they will see an “Add to Cart” button. If they click that the event will not be in WooCommerce’ shipping cart, and is really handled by WooCommerce at that point. You can edit the “Product” as outlined by Simple Credits tutorial, and assign it to the “Credits” category. Since this is an ordinary WooCommerce product you should be able to assign it a Credits value as well. Based on Simple Credits descriptions, it seems like the two plugins should be quite compatible.
Does that all make sense? Did that answer your questions? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy mattcuba,
I love free concerts too! Really like your site. You are fighting for a good cause there.
That was pretty funky. It took me a while of digging through your site before I noticed something. When you check your browser console on the official site it is filled with errors relating to the Google Maps API not loading. There can be a number of possible causes of this. It might be a server configuration issue, like perhaps your CDN is interfering with requests to the Google Maps API only on the live site. It might be a difference between the two WP Installs. For instance, a certain plugin on the live site might be incompatible or in need of an update. Other plugins often times replace the Google maps API calls, or sometimes they load it a second time.
At this point I would just play around with the settings for those various things. Perhaps try disabling your CDN temporarily if you can. Do the error messages go away? Can you switch off certain plugins and test again? Fortunately this issue is not specific to Events Calendar. It is the sort of thing that can happen to any website which uses the Google Maps API. So, if you think of something specific to your site that might be causing this it will be easier to research on Google. I tried searching that particular error message, but nothing applicable appeared. Perhaps you can think of something more specific.
At least we were able to boil it down to an error message. That is a lot easier to trouble shoot for than those pesky no error message conflicts. Hopefully you are able to test some of those things out and isolate the problem further. I can not think of anything else that is testable from my end.
Let me know if you have any questions along the way. Would you mind posting the result once you have had a chance to test? Thanks Matt!

Howdy Logan,
That is crazy! You are the first person I have seen running 3.7 to experience duplicate events. We did have a somewhat similar issue in version 3.4 that was fixed in 3.4.1. But I have seen nothing like since then. I just wanted to double check, are you running the latest version of our plugins and WordPress?
Good call on trying bulk delete. I am sad to hear that is not working for you. Was the “Deletion error” message specific? Can you copy the full error message here, or was that all it said?
There might be one other way to bulk delete events. If you go into the list these events, instead of clicking “Edit Single” on one of those events click “Edit All”. Now click the Trash button. Did that work, or do you perhaps get a deletion error as well? If you are continuing to receive a deletion error message, it could be that your server has a very low resource limit and is simply preventing batch deletions of any kind of WP Post. In which case it would be worth looking into bumping up those limits, because you would face the same problem attempting to batch delete all WP Posts not just custom ones like ours.
If you are still having trouble batch deleting, it is very very possible that one of your plugins or perhaps your theme is not quite playing well with The Events Calendar. We can easily test for that by following this guide. Would you mind following steps 1 & 2 of the testing if there is a conflict section, then for step three attempt to bulk delete those events once again?
Once we can figure out how to delete those events, then we can try to recreate one and see if we can figure out why it duplicated them in the first place. Please let me know how the above steps go. I look forward to getting this fixed, it a real puzzling problem. Cheers!

Howdy nationalwestern,
That is stumper. I tried testing for a number of different things on your site. From what I can see you are not running any plugins or anything that might be cause of this problem. When I recreated that event on my own testing server, for Jan 10th 2015 @ 11am (though I am not sure if that is the proper time) it showed correctly as a Saturday event.
Could you possibly trying testing for conflicts by following this guide? That will give us a lot of extra info to figure things out. Then would you mind posting the result here when you are done?
Cheers!

Howdy Laura,
I am noticing the page is trying to load the following JS file, but the link does not work and just returns a 404.
http://antoinelouis.com/clients/NOUVEAU/wp-content/themes/cnn/js/lib/jquery-1.10.1.min.map
Perhaps that file was accidentally deleted, or the link is not setup properly?
As a very general rule it is not great practice for a theme to override the default jQuery lib that comes with WordPress. The main reason is that if you include a different version of jQuery it can cause incompatibilties. If you are developing this theme, you might stick with the default jQuery lib which would fix the above problem. Or perhaps go with one of the centrally hosted ones like this. Just make sure that the version matches up with that of WP’ default if possible, and keep in mind that version changes with each new WP release.
Did that fix things? Please let me know. Cheers!

Tribe is not addressing the âwhyâ this DOES NOT happen on http://www.comeroadrallywith.us calendar and DOES on http://www.alaskaracenews. They BOTH have MaxMag. They BOTH have EventsPRO calendar.
Ahh, good question. It very well could be a setting, but is likely a theme setting. There is really only one Events Calendar setting that I could picture making this difference. In WP Admin > Events > Settings look for the Template drop down. Is it set the same on both websites? If they are identical the most likely culprit is your MaxMag theme settings. I truly have no idea which one of those would apply here, I am not intimately familiar with that theme like I am for the plugins we support. You might just play around with them and see if one helps.
We are considering building an uninstall plugin for the future that would remove selected tribe settings and of course events from the site. In the mean time there is the 3rd party plugin Event Rocket. If you have disabled TEC it has a Cleanup Events option that removes almost everything TEC related from your database. You could try it if you suspect that it will help.
Did that help you fix this?
