I hear ya, and you are very welcome! Glad to hear you have enjoyed our support. If you ever do want something like a duplicate checker and you think other people would want it to, please recommend it on our feature suggestion site.
If you have not already done so and have a minute or two, we would love it if you could write a few words about the plugin here. Happy developing!

Howdy jkash23686,
That is a good question. From the sound of it the cause is basically related to the fact that the Events Data is mostly only accessible within the Events Template. So if you are trying to display the featured image for an event category outside of that template, you might have some issues.
Have you taken a look at our Themer’s Guide? That walks you through creating an Events Template. From there you can call images like the one that you have evidently setup for Event categories.
Does that make sense? Did I understand you correctly? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy hanten,
That is a good question, that is certainly a bit frustrating. The customization you want is definitely possible, but will require some tinkering with PHP & SQL. Notice here how for our tribe_get_events queries we set the query_var ‘tribeHideRecurrence’ to 1. When that happens we then inject the SQL found on line 928, which limits the results to only the first event. You could run something similar on your home page regardless of the query_var. Maybe you could tap into ‘pre_get_posts’, use the WP API to detect if this is the main blog loop, then inject that SQL into the main query?
Unfortunately that last paragraph is only going to make sense to those verse in PHP & SQL. If you are unable to make that modification and do not know someone whom you can hire, have no fear. We actually keep a list of freelancers who are quite capable of making changes on your behalf. You can obtain this list by emailing [email protected] and requesting it.
Will that work for you? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy Lars!
By default our plugin’s list view does sort by date, not category. Example: http://wpshindig.com/events/upcoming/
Map view sorts by Date as well, unless you have input a location in the search field. Then it sorts by distance from that location.
If your install is behaving differently, then it is quite likely you are facing a plugin or theme conflict. I hope that info helps! Cheers.

I wonder if this is related to the amount of events you have? Justeverything, do you know how many events you have on your site? How many of them are recurring? If there is a lot of recurrences ones for some or many events, the fix might be very easy.
Let me give you a explanation of the 3.5 update. In version 3.4 and under recurring events were a single post in the database, with some meta information that indicated when they recurred. In version 3.5 we split them up into multiple posts, one for each event. This allows them to be much more powerful, and will even offer a speed improvement on many sites. Thus, when you update from and prior version to 3.5 we run a script that splits the old single post into multiple posts, one for each recurrence. This script runs when you visit /wp-admin/. Unfortunately, particularly on slower shared servers with lots of recurring events, this script can take a while to run. PHP will timeout if a script fails to complete after a while. Thus, the script is halted. To resolve this error, in versions 3.5.x of our plugin the script will then pickup where it left off the next time you visit wp-admin.
In short, the possible solution to your problem could be to visit /wp-admin/ after updating to 3.5.2. The browser will try loading the page for a while, eventually you will see an error along the lines of something timing out or not being able to load. Click refresh, and wait for that error again (this could take 30 seconds or a few minutes of waiting). Rinse and repeat the refreshing and waiting. Eventually you will be able to load /wp-admin/. I know this is a bit of a pain, but the truth is you are running a very powerful application (WordPress) and a very powerful plugin on a notoriously slow server/service (GoDaddy).
Howdy Bryan! So the above might help you, but it also might not. Usually MAMP servers are somewhat fast so the above is less likely. It is worth trying the refresh wait steps I support, but that might not help you. You might also try updating to 3.4 and seeing if everything works correctly. All that said, would you mind opening up a new topic after trying those debugging steps, and posting your result + description of the problem. We try and keep topics to one very specific problem, which usually means just one user per topic. That way your specific issue receives our full attention. Thanks!

Hey Sean,
We can not deliver much in the way of ETAs. Sadly, it does not look like this will be resolved in our next maintenance release, so the earliest is probably the one after that. I have asked the team to review the priority of this to make sure that it is appropriately prioritized among our other tickets.

Hello eastbayya,
Sadly, there really is no better way to address your initial question than what I have already outlined. You could certainly remove the all caps styling from your theme so that you see the text in your browser window as it actually is. Or, you can right click on an element whose text you are trying to change, and click inspect (or view source if your browser lacks an inspector). Either one of those routes will give you the elements text without styling, thus the exact text you could match.
As indicated in numerous areas on our site and purchase pages, the support you have purchased is “guidance” on how to make modifications, not the modifications themselves. This does require that you know some programming so that you can effectively fill in blanks like string replacements. However, I truly want to help you so I am going to go beyond our support policy this once and giving you some exact code. This is the search/replace snippets for all mention of events. As I indicated it might not work quite like we would expect, for various reasons it could cause bugs. 🙁 We won’t know until someone has had a chance to thoroughly test it on their site. Feel free to try it out. If you do find a bug however, please let me know that way I can delete that snippet and remove the link from here.
Does that clear up my instructions? Thanks in advance for your response. Cheers!
– Brook
I am very sorry, I should have understand that! This line of JS code will clear that form:
jQuery('#tribe-bar-form').tribe_clear_form();You could attach that to a reset button with the onclick attribute, or even better you can use jQuery (first example in this link).
Are we on the same page now? Did that do what you need? Please let me know.
– Brook
For sure! It is a very good question. Sometimes we have options or filters that make modifications even easier. Glad I can help. Since this issue is resolved I am going to close the topic. Feel free to open another one if you you ever need more help. Cheers!
By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you could write a few words about the plugin here. Happy developing!

Thank you for pointing that out Andy. If you do notice translation errors please point them out. The best place to do so is in our translations forum, and we will correct them ASAP.
Although, do note that we have a forthcoming update to our German translation for the following plugins:
- Core
- Filterbar
- WooTickets
- PRO
- Community
If you would like to use a plugin that has not been translated into German yet, let us know. We have an awesome program going in which we will trade a license for your assistance.

Howdy hpkreator,
The PRO version adds our APM Filters (pictured here), which allow admins & editors to sort/search & edit events easily from WP Admin. This is good for when you have lots of events.
However, it sounds like you want to give your users that capability on the front end of your calendar. If so you would be interested in our filterbar plugin. If you go to our filterbar forum you can see it live on a number of customer sites. Here is just one of those.
If you feel you have purchased the plugin in error and would like to exchange for the filterbar, we can generally accommodate you there. All refunds are processed through [email protected]. If you email them they can take it from here. Let me know if you have more questions. 🙂 Thanks!

That is very interesting. Would you mind adding this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file, and posting back here when you have done that? Mainly this snippet just adds some diagnostic info in html comments to your site, and might help us figure out the problem.
Please paste it at the top of your theme’s functions.php file, underneath the first line “<?php”. If your theme does not have a functions.php file, go to your theme folder, create a new text document file called “functions.php”, and paste this text in the first line of the file “<?php”. On line 2 or 3, paste that snippet. Thanks!

Howdy cromerpier,
Okay I follow you now. So that is possible, but it is definitely going to involve building a small customization using our API. To do that you will need a sounds knowledge of PHP and WP Queries. Armed with that knowledge, I would recommend that you create your own calendar widget by copying the current one to a plugin our your theme folder, then renaming it. From there you can modify it to your hearts desire, including create a custom tax query for the list view that ignores the option to only show the first event in an upcoming series.
If you are unable to make that modification and do not know someone whom you can hire, have no fear. We actually keep a list of freelancers who are quite capable of making changes on your behalf. You can obtain this list by emailing [email protected] and requesting it.
Does that help you now? I think we are on the same page now, so I hope my answer is informative.
