Awesome! You actually can use that same snippet to modify the No Results Found as well. Just copy the if {…} statement, and modify the part within the parentheses to match the exact text string you want to modify. Then change that text string.
Does that make sense?

Howdy tundratech,
Thank you for posting! In this forum we try to keep our threads focused on just one user’s problem. This ensures that we are addressing your specific problem instead of a general group one, and not possibly missing anything unique your situation.
To that end, would you mind opening up a new topic here about your issue? If you could please detail in your own words exactly what your problem is (instead of just linking here), that will go a long way towards helping you get this issue resolved as fast as possible. I hope you understand our reasoning here and do not mind this extra step, we have just found it serves our users best. Thanks!

No worries driftwood. I am very happy to hear that you enjoy the plugin and are satisfied with our support.
I actually really like your theme’s look and it seems to be very well designed from what I have seen. If it were designed slightly differently then it would be able to integrate even better with TEC. Which is not to say that the way it is currently designed is bad, it just unfortunately does not plugins designed like ours to tap into those themes.
I hope you can find somebody to code the remaining bits for you. I know all about tight budgets myself. May the winds favor you.

Well that’s strange! That is not how things are behaving on my site. Events with no venue do not appear on the map.
I notice that you are running a slightly old version of Events Calendar and Pro. Would you mind updating them for me? I would not be surprised if that fixes it. Of course, any time you update anything with WordPress it is always a good idea to first make backups.
If that did not fix it, could you possible try adding a new test event with no venue, and setting the date to 3/20/2015? I notice that you have no events yet for next year, so if you add that event and post back here I can look at it and might learn something else. Do this after you have updated though, if you do not mind.
Would you be able to run the updates? Cheers!

You are very welcome. I did as requested regarding your thread.
Unfortunately we can not really schedule live screen shares. If you do want to record you screen and post what you have done somewhere online for me to view later, that would work really well. If you could demonstrate what you are doing and point out what is not working that would make sure that we are on exactly the same page.
Again you are very welcome. Let me know if there is anything else we can do. Cheers!

Good question! There are a few different language files, usually one for each plugin. You will generally find them within the /plugin-name/lang/ directory. For instance, for the core Events plugin here is the English language file:
/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lang/tribe-events-calendar.potAre you able to find it now?
– Brook
That’s great! Yeah it sounds like you have done all that you can do in preparation and that everything is setup now for someone to write a little code for you so you can wrap this up.
Are you saying the page link will open up that page or just echo to my screen the url?
My instructions are for directly linking to something other than the event, not echoing the URL or anything. My guidance should make it so that when a user clicks on the event link it will take them to wherever you have designated instead of the default events page.
I hope you are able to get that final step completed now that you have done everything leading up to it. Cheers driftwood!

Shucks! If your theme uses separate WP Page templates for its various templates then they will all show up there. But if it instead just uses one template and relies on conditionals like is_page(), then you can only select that one template. As I said it depends “on how your theme is designed”, and your theme is not designed using WP Page Templates 🙁 . Your only option is to hook into that filter and add the programming logic you need as I outlined in the past few posts. I wish there was an easier route. For what it’s worth I have racked my brain to come up with one.

Now I just need to do something to display the post (and not event) when its picked from event calendar – some kind of hook or filter?
You would want to query the WP database for the post that you have specified in your custom field, then return that URL using the ‘tribe_event_link’ filter. Even easier, if you have specified the full URL of the post that you would like the event to link to within your custom field, then you would simply return the value of that field (the full URL) using the ‘tribe_event_link’ filter.
If I am to try and build a hook where will I insert this hook? Which event_tribe php file will it have to go in?
You can actually add this hook and your PHP function within you theme’s functions.php file. That would be the easiest way.
It sounds to me like one of your biggest issues is that the events template is different than the page template. Did you know that you can change the events template to one of the theme’s other templates? If you go to WP Admin > Events > Settings, click on the Display tab, and scroll down to “Events template”, you can select which page template from your current theme that the Events calendar uses. Have you already seen this and tried it out? I realize that this does not duplicate your post content from the blog post to the event, but depending on how your theme is designed it will allow you to select the look of the single events page. I just wanted to throw that suggestion your way in case it helps you any.
Cheers!

We certainly do our best to think about common solutions for all. That’s basically our entire goal here. If there is a common problem, or even just a feature that you would like to suggest, please suggest it on our user voice page so that other users can voice their support. A lot of the feature suggestions their get hundreds of votes! So when you find a common problem no doubt it will get plenty of recognition there and thus we will appropriately prioritize its implementation.
Thanks for the feedback. If this question is answered to your satisfaction, please mark it answered if you do not mind. Have an awesome day!

Howdy bandoliergroup,
That’s a good question. One user in a similar situation had success using the post duplicator plugin, instead of inputting the info multiple times they just duplicated it, then edited it to include custom info (like the event venue).
If you are interested in adding the exact functionality you want via some PHP/MySQL magic, you could hook into ‘pre_get_posts‘ and add the necessary logic there. Maybe detect a custom Venue Name, like “all-venues” or something, then simply include venues with that name in all tribe queries regardless of the venue specified. Does that make sense?
Please let me know if that helps, or if you have any more questions. Cheers!

Thanks for sharing that solution eguidemagazine! Very helpful.
Since this topic is answered I am going to mark it as such. Please feel free to open another one for any future issues. Thanks!

As crazy as it might sound you are the first on I have seen want this behavior, driftwood. I once saw a user who wanted the link to go directly the event website instead of the single events page, but that’s the closest I have seen. This is definitely a unique customization that you are wanting.
Here is a pretty good guide on hooks & filters. But, it still geared towards people who know PHP and are comfortable writing code. If that does not describe you, and do not know someone whom you can hire, there are still options. We have 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.
I hope that all makes sense. I definitely want to support you as much as I can. Unfortunately we would have to charge a lot more for our plugin if it included a years worth of customizations/modifications in the price. As we outline in our scope of support on various areas on this site, the support includes assistance with bug fixes and guidance on how to perform modifications. However, it is up to you to actually make the modifications yourself.
Please let me know if you have more questions. I really do want to help you as much as I can. When you have no more question on the topic, let me know and I will mark this topic answered. Thanks!

Howdy again,
Thanks for the link and theme name. Looking through our forums it looks like the Avada theme does not work very well with Tribe plugins. I would not be surprised if conflicts with many other plugins as well:

- https://tri.be/support/forums/topic/mobile-phones-calendar-view/

I totally understand that you do not want to disable your current theme now that the site is live. Most developers in your shoes have two servers, a local one in which they can test and make changes, and a live one. This allows them to do things like change themes without affecting the live server. If you do not have a similar setup for private testing, then the only way we can proceed is for you to try enabling the 2012 on your public website. If you can not or will not do that, then there is not much more we can do to help. That is one of the most basic tests in the WordPress world to help you isolate/diagnose a problem. If you can not do basic WP tests due to your hosting setup, then unfortunately you can not really diagnose a problem and thus you and I can not really fix things. It’s sort of like tying your hands and blind folding yourself, then trying to repair a car engine. Does that make sense?
I am happy to help you as best I can. But I can not anything else we can try until you are able to test things with the theme disabled. Could you perhaps try it during low traffic hours? Please let me know what you’re thinking, thanks!
