Howdy 1968rouleur,
Good question. It sounds to me like you might not even want a custom field at all, as those are usually unique for each event. Rather, you would just like to disaplay some extra text in the Meta area of each event. To do that you can use our themer’s guide. That will walk you through how to make changes to the template of your event, and one of the many changes you can do is add text to the meta box. Since you are changing the template, this will retroactively add that text for all past events, and add it to all future ones as well!
Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy nwatson,
That is actually one of our most popular feature suggestions! As you will note in that link, we are working towards adding that functionality in a future version. In fact we began work on it a while ago, but it takes a surprsing amount of changes to get that going, so you have not seen the fruits of this labor yet.
For now you must split the event in two. Soon though, it will work just like you want. Basically you will be able to add a recurrence of an event to any arbitrary date that you want to!
Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy hound,
There is an even easier way, and it will work better for you in the long run. Copy this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. Then find the string of text that you want to change, and copy it exactly. Replace the “View all events in calendar” string with your new one. Now change the custom text. Make sure to keep the quotes surrounding your custom text and the new string of text.
Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy joinfof,
We have a short snippet on this page under the heading “The meta factory has been deprecated”. Basically that tutorial you linked to is now defunct. You can now follow our standard themer’s guide as outlined in that link.
If you have any feedback for us on this change or on our themer’s guide please let us know. We deliberated this change a lot, but ultimately decided that switching from the meta Walker was going to be the easiest to modify solution going forward. That is why it is being depreciated.
Does that make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

I am glad you got it solved dchaney. Thanks for sharing your solution.
I can definitely see where you guys are coming from. The biggest reason for the See All link is so that people can catch a different time for the same event, if the current one does not work. But, if you do not want that link to be visible I can understand why.
Would you mind making this a suggestion on our user voice page? Perhaps something along the lines of “An option to disable the Recurring Events (See All) Link in widgets”.

For sure websource. But, I already gave you advice for that, found above. Here is a link to that response. Is that advice incomplete or something?

Howdy wpsitter,
That is indeed a new feature we added to the list widget. Do you not enjoy the new functionality? You can of course change the look of this widget by using our themer’s guide. Or, if you are interested in a quick fix adding the following CSS would hide that field.
.tribe-events-adv-list-widget div.recurringinfo { display: none; }Does that make sense? Do you have any feedback for us regarding this new feature? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy webster,
I think you will find the following tutorial to be very helpful. It walks you through adding the event dates to your feed. Further fields can be added in the exact same fashion: https://theeventscalendar.com/how-to-add-events-to-your-rss-feed/
In addition I think you migh find our API documentation helpful. In both of these links you will find a list of functions in the left hand column for querying for various event data, including cost, location, etc.

Howdy umnmch,
I just checked with our resources, and even searched through our forums and team archives to see if anyone has experience with this. Unfortunately the answer is no, no one has experience here.
Our project integrates well with WordPress page templates, including the defaults like Post and Page. However, it lacks support for any solution outside of these WordPress APIs.
I wish I had better news! Let me know if you have any further questions related to our plugin. If not, please mark this resolved or comment to that effect if you do not mind. Cheers!

Howdy saintjo,
I am sorry about this! We do our best to QA existing features before each release. In fact testing this specifically is part of our checklist. I am not sure how this bug slipped through the cracks, either the QA person missed it or perhaps it only rears its head in certain server configurations.
Either way we are interested in fixing it as soon as we can. You are the second person to report this bug. My manager jump bumped the priority of it. While we can not predict the future and thus are unable to give you delivery dates of a fix, we will work hard to release a fix as soon as we can.
We have not found a great work around yet. If we do come up with one we will be in touch. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Howdy websource,
Which method is giving you that data? If it is the third party tool, you might need to contact the developer of it. Or, investigate the use of a similar tool. Like I said, you could use any tool like it. The one I linked was just an example. Unfortunately I am not in a position to support third party tools, for that you would need to contact the author’s support channels.
I hope that makes sense. I really do want to help you as much as I can. I can certainly help you with advice regarding our API and other plugin related stuff. In the case of your attendance list query our API does not provide a super easy way to extract the query you want. That is why I think it will be easier for you to use a third party tool dedicated towards providing that capability for any WordPress plugin.

Howdy libertyme,
As you originally suspected this is likely too niche of a request. I have only ever seen this request once, from you! Feel free to suggest it as a feature though as outlined above. Or, if you have any idea on how we could make this sort of modification easier, request that instead. For something like this it is likely that more people would benefit from having more modifying capability than from this exact customization, as I doubt there are many besides you that will ever need this.
Please let me know if you have questions. If not, would you mind marking this resolved? Cheers!

Thank you timwakeling! That is very excellent of you. Now other folks can implement your fix immediately if they need.
This was actually fixed in our forthcoming release, then an improvement that allows you to select multiple categories for the widget rendered the change moot as we redid all of our wording. Our next release is due shortly, I hope you all enjoy the new features and improvement to our wording.

Thank you for the update Lars and letting future users know that plugin is not currently compatible! Very helpful.
It is tough to say it is a fault with our plugin. Really it is the fault of the two plugins combined. Sometimes we are able to change how ours works to make it more compatible with other plugins, but often in making such a change we simultaneously are making it less compatible with different plugins. Each change has to be weighed very heavily. That is just one of the many reasons why the WordPress community will sometimes see conflicts between two different plugins. It also one of the main reasons why you should generally hire a developer to help you build your site, that way if two plugins do conflict you can turn to the developer to make them compatible for your unique site. Fortunately though, this time you were able to resolve the conflict by removing the unnecessary plugin. That is excellent news! I will mark this topic resolved. Cheers!

Hello again els76uk,
I think I can answer that for you.
Since we do not have a finite amount of time we obviously have to prioritize our developer’s time between bug fixes and feature requests. For bugs like this we take many things into consideration when figuring out their priority. Some of them: Is a fix already available for affected user? How hard is it to implement that fix? How many users are affected? Etc.
In this case a fix is already available for the issue, you just need to add sidebar classes to your widget function as outlined in my initial response. This should be possible through a WordPress Child Theme. Furthermore as the official WordPress documentation points out, your theme should already be doing this. So this is really a failing of your theme developer, and something they need to fix even after we come back and remove reliance on this requirement of WordPress theme design. That is no doubt some of the reasons why it has not yet been fixed.
I just looked at our tracker, and our team lead recently bumped the priority of this item up to above normal. That is a good indication that it will be fixed shortly, but on occasion higher priority things come along and we have to reshuffle our timeline. No one can predict the future, so we can not make a guarantee that it will be our next maintenance release.
All that said, we are truly interested in your feedback here at Tribe. User perspective helps us to better our processes and goals. If you feel that we should be doing things differently, or that we can improve this process any please let us know. I would happily pass along your feedback to the team. Thanks els76uk!
