Howdy leisurelife,
This is no good. You seem to be facing a plugin conflict that is generating a PHP error. Your server logs might give your more information. Or, you could test for conflicts and isolate it down to gather more information. This guide will help you test if something is conflicting. If something is, it then walks you through identifying what is conflicting. Once we know that we can work towards a fix.
Does that make sense? What did you find out? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy memeco,
The box that you are typing into only accepts PHP Date Format characters. The “de” that you input is telling PHP to out put the day and the timezone. If you want to input those character but not have them be “expanded”, then you should escape them with a forward slash (example).
Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy bfaulds,
Thank you for posting! Just so you know, our forum rules request that users open a new topic for each issue. The reason is that ordinarily this has resulted in faster support. If you do not mind doing that for future questions we appreciate it!
Q. Why map View not working in my website ?
That is a good question. I am a bit puzzled by why that is happening. I am unable to come up with a good explanation. Usually things that are hard to explain are the result of a conflict. This guide will help you test if something is conflicting. If something is, it then walks you through identifying what is conflicting. Would you mind walking through that guide and posting the result here? Thank you!
Q. is There Any other Way To Charge for events rather than selling tickets ?
The only way to charge for events is by selling tickets. If you have an idea for a different method please search through our feature suggestion page, and “Vote” on any that you would like to see. If you have a new idea, please post it there so everyone else that wants it implemented can vote as well!
As a users of the site, I want the default view to be of events in my general area (worked out either via GEO IP location services or the default location in the user’s profile) ?
That is a great idea! There are two ways to do that. First, would be to recommend it as a feature like I outlined above, and see if other people want it implemented as well. If enough people need it then we can look into including it in one of our future releases. But, waiting on people to vote and such could take a while.
The other way requires that you know some PHP. Have you noticed the “Location” search feature? Try typing an address in there. It gets geocoded and input into hte URL query string variables. You could simply link the default calendar page in your menus and such to some unique URL, then when a user hits that page geocode their IP and forward them to the proper events page with those query string variables.
As a user of the site( NOT Admin ) I want to be able to enter a radius of surrounding locations and see events overplayed on a map of the area ?
This is possible using the “Distance” filter. Simply type in a search in the location box, and the distance filter appears allowing you to narrow your search by distance from that area. Although, as a side effect of your map view not working the location search is also not working right now. We need to do some conflict testing to find out why as outlined in my first paragraph.
As a user of the site, I would like to save my favourite events for a bucket list / rainy day ?
I like that notion. Events are simply WordPress Custom Post Types. You might be able to find a third party plugin that allows you to favorite any links/posts in WP. If you need to add a link to “Favorite” an event page, then refer to our themer’s guide.
I know that is a lot of information, but you asked a lot of questions 😀 . I am happy to answer them though. Did that clarify everything for you? Can you test for conflicts and get back to me regarding that issue? Thank you for posting!

That is really strange! It is likely related to your server environment. Thought we have many users on WP Engine, so I am not sure what that could be yet.
I suspect that you could require a permalink refresh. To do that could you do the following:
1) Go to WP Admin > Settings > Permalinks (or [your site]/wp-admin/options-permalink.php)
2) Click save.
Did that fix it perchance?Would you mind alsograbbing your system information and pasting it here? Make sure to use the ‘Set as private reply’ checkbox to protect your private information from the public. You can find the system info by going to WP Admin > Events > Settings, clicking on the “Help” tab, and scrolling down to the ‘System Information’ box. (Or by going to [yoursite]/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=tribe_events&page=tribe-events-calendar&tab=help) That will give me a lot of extra information to help diagnose the problem.
Thanks for running through those debugging steps and posting the results like you did. Super helpful. Cheers!

Thanks for moving it cfcpca! That is really nice of you. For anyone who chances upon this topic, here is the new one. We will diagnose and fix things there.

Howdy vediclover,
You can still add new users to WP. If you want them to be able to add events that is certainly still possible, they will just need to be given the editor role on your website or a custom role with add/edit events permissions. To my knowledge this has never changed, though it is possible that behaved differently before I started with the plugin.
If you want other users to be able to add/edit events, like regular subscribers or even unregisteres users, that is what the Community Events plugin is for.
If you want to learn more about user roles, check this out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities
Please let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help further, or clarify anything. Cheers!

Awesome. We are one giant step closer.
Nothing stands out to me as conflicting in your theme. There are no JS errors in the console, it makes none of the classic mistakes like changing the jQuery version to an outdated one. So that leads us some more conflict testing, but at least we know now which parts of the site our conflicting, the theme + TEC. That narrows it down a lot.
If you are interested in the technical mumbo jumbo: This is likely a JS glitch. Something is stopping the tribe jquery event handler from firing on that popup box, which means the e.preventDefault() is not being called and so the link’s href, a # is firing instead and takes you to the top of the page. OPf course since the TEC script doesnt fire no events are filtered either.
Now to try and isolate what about the theme is conflicting. Do you have file access to your webserver, via FTP or some other means? Are you comfortable modifying theme files a little bit? If so, first step let us try to rename you scripts folder. It looks like ti can be found here “/wp-content/themes/make/js/”. Simple rename the folder ‘js’ to ‘js-bak.’ Now test again, does it work? If so rename it back to ‘js’. Now go inside the js folder and try renaming each file by appending -bak to it, then retesting. You might start with these three files, I would not be surprised if it is one of them:
- http://cypherspot.com/wp-content/themes/make/js/libs/cycle2/jquery.cycle2.min.js?ver=1.1.0
- http://cypherspot.com/wp-content/themes/make/js/libs/fitvids/jquery.fitvids.min.js?ver=1.1
- http://cypherspot.com/wp-content/themes/make/js/global.min.js?ver=1.1.0
If renaming JS did not fix, let us try something else. Leave the folder named js-bak for now. Try simple renaming your functions.php file to functions-bak.php. Did that solve it perchance? There is a strong possibility this will generate errors all over your site. So be prepared to rename it back.
Let me know the results if you don’t mind. Thanks persyst!

Howdy persyst,
The easiest way would be to give them a city or zip code, even if you choose to hide it from the front end. That search feature uses the Google Maps API, and so it has some limitations on what it is capable of. Check out the feature suggestion page where one of our devs commented on this. While your there, vote for the feature — it never hurts. Popular features are more likely to get implemented, period. Regardless of their difficulty.
You might also want to throw your vote behind this feature suggestion. It would allow you to filter down events based on the state that you input in your venue data. But, that is a drop down, not a search feature.
Does that all make sense and answer your question? Is there anything else? Cheers!

Howdy shelbysoto,
If your goal is simply to have a search box, well you could have a standard HTML search form that submit to the tri.be events page. If you want to have the View As drop down, date selector, and so forth, then it will get a lot more complicated. There are a lot of JS scripts powering those, and they all expect to be included on the events page. You would have to rewrite a lot of code in new JS files for inclusion on other pages, sadly. Probably not worth it.
Did that answer your question? Please let me know if I can elaborate on anything. Thanks!
– Brook
Howdy persyst,
That is very strange. I am not seeing that popup for other cities, and they all work fine. Could you try something for me? Would it be possible for you to test if this is one of the customizations to your site that might be conflicting. This guide will help you test if something is conflicting. If something is, it then walks you through identifying what is conflicting. Once we know that we can work towards a fix.
Please let me know if you have any more questions, or if I can help you along the way. Thanks!

Howdy Rick Scalzo,
You can view the calendar by category. If you give each “separate” calendar a category, and assign events to tit, then you can link to the category page. You can view events in that category as an upcoming list, a grid view of the whole month, pretty much everything. Here is an example category page: http://wpshindig.com/events/category/wordpress-meetups/
There is no Mini calendar for the free version. You would want PRO for that. Have you checked out our non-profit program? That might apply. If not, well keep an eye out for our one millionth download. I would not be surprised if it will be accompanied by a sale. That would be a great time to buy at a discount.
Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks!

Adam I am sorry for the delay. Normally our forums closes topics older than 2 weeks, and marks them abandoned. I am unsure why it did not do that here. Having old topics close out helps keep things from slipping through the cracks. Unfortuantely since yours didn’t close it slipped through.
I will try to reproduce that problem using your latest steps. Thanks for keeping after this and trying to isolate. I did my best last time to replicate, maybe I will have more luck this time? I will report back tomorrow.

Howdy Gordon,
That sounds like an awesome business plan. You are not the first person we have encountered who wants to do that with our plugin. We have had a few suggestions about this. Please vote up the ones that are relevant to you, every vote does count when we are decideding where to allocate development time.
Currently the plugin is just not capable of what you want. You can not (yet?) charge people to submit events, nor can they sell tickets without linking to a third party service link Eventbrite. It would require some extensive modifications to add all the functionality you want. Sadly, I am not aware of any other solution for you, especially WP plugin wise.
Please let me know if you have any more questions, or if I can clarify any aspect of my answer. Thanks!
– Brook
Howdy Michael,
Good question. The plugin is pretty fully responsive. You do need the latest version of the plugin though, which you will not have if your license has expired.
Regarding filtering by State, I agree it would be an awesome feature. Our full text search is limited by the Google Maps API. If the query you type in there is not recognized it is not always possible for us to fix it.
Checkout the State feature suggestions page here. It looks to me like what you want would be this feature in particular. if so please vote it up, every vote counts. If you did simply want a drop down filter that will find events based on their state drop down, that seems pretty doable and to my knowledge not API limited.
Thank you for posting. It is nice to get feedback so we know what peoples desires us. Let me know if you have any more questions or anything. Cheers!
