Howdy Matthew,
That is different! I am sorry this is you trouble. Would it be possible to collect some info from you so that I can look into the problem? For instance, I do not event know what theme you are using, or where your site is located.
Would you mind grabbing 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.
If you are interested in getting this resolved quickly, could you also run through some diagnostic steps for me? First, could you try temporarily activating the default 2013 theme, and seeing if the issue persists.
If disabling the theme fixes it, we have narrowed the issue down to a theme conflict. Do you have any theme overrides for the Events Calendar? If so could you try disabling them by renaming your [themename]/tribe-events/ folder to ‘tribe-events-bak’.
If the issue persists in the default 2013 theme, then we have a different set of debugging steps. Please keep the 2013 theme enabled, and also disable any plugins other than the ones from Modern Tribe to see if that fixes is. If it does, please try reenabling them one at a time until the issue resurfaces.
Thank you! Please let me know if have questions about any of those steps.

Howdy crharrison,
One thing you could do is publish a private event for those days, maybe put something like “Reserved in the title”. This will show up in the calendar to editors admins, but not the community at large. To do this, when you add an event there is a “Visibility” field right near the publish button. Simply change the visibility to private.
This is definitely a feature we would like to see in the future too. If you have a minute, please throw some votes up on this feature request that I believe is exactly what you are looking for.
I hope the private posts will work for now. Please let me know if that helps, or if you have any other questions. Cheers!

Howdy bodin,
That makes a lot of sense. It is easy to see why you would want to do this. Fair warning, this is going to be a bit involved for a modification.
First you would need to hook into the filter ‘tribe_events_rewrite_rules’. This will allow you to modify the rewrite rules to fit your needs. From there I think the easiest way to add your custom logic would be to hook into TribeEvents::getLink(), which also has a filter (‘tribe_events_getLink’). Although really you could add the logic almost anywhere in the wp_query filters chain.
Now for the fun part, once you have all your hooks setup you would need to program some extra logic to generate those pages. You are going to have to add a few listeners for the additional query_vars that you added in your custom reqrite rules. And then you will have to program in the logic, and modify $wp_query as needed.
Does that make sense? There is going to be a lot of programming to get this done. Please let me know if I can elaborate or clarify. Cheers!

Howdy klara,
The arrow buttons mave a lot of space around them. The following CSS should remove it:
body .tribe-mini-calendar-nav span {
margin: 0;
}If you would like to resize the month heading, the following should work:
#tribe-mini-calendar-month {
font-size: .75em;
}Please let me know if that works for you. I’d also be glad to answer any further questions if you have them. Cheers!

Howdy weebi,
I am really glad you like the plugin. We do our best, and it is good to get feedback like this.
There are two ways for a theme to do paging in a theme, a simple way and a complicated one. Unfortunately, some themes go the complicated route which has numerous drawbacks, including conflicting with our plugin. It looks like your theme is going the complicated route. We have an article written up on how to write a proper paging function that you will likely find very interesting. It includes an example of the wrong way, and shows how to change it to the right one.
However, that tutorial will likely require some PHP knowledge to apply to your theme. If that is your cup of tea, you might need to hire a developer. We do keep a handy list of knowledgeable ones, and you can easily obtain it by emailing [email protected] and requesting.
Will that work for you? Does it all makes sense? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy davidemacek,
You can accomplish this with CSS. The following line should work, but since it involves a CSS selector that is not compatible with older IE versions:
.tribe-related-events-thumbnail img[src="http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/resources/images/tribe-related-events-placeholder.png"]{ display:none; }Or this should work, although it might depend on your theme a bit. Most themes add the ‘.wp-post-image’ image class to custom images, but not to default ones like the calendar. If your theme does this as well, this is very cross browser compatible:
.tribe-related-events-thumbnail img{ display:none; } .tribe-related-events-thumbnail .wp-post-image{ display:inline-block; }Did that work for you? Please let me know if I can help further! Thanks.

Howdy megswhite,
I am not aware of any plugin that does exactly what you need. However, I do have a handy snippet that accomplishes this. You will need to modify it a bit to fit your needs, but that should be easy enough if you know a bit of PHP.
What that snippet does is selectively hide events within certain categories from user roles. For instance, if you wanted to hide all events from a category, and the slug for that category is “exclude-slug”, then you specify “exclude-slug” on line 13 as I did in the example. As you can see on lines 11 & 12, it will only excludes those events if the user is not an administrator. So, anything less than an admin will not see it. This can easily be modified to hide multiple categories, multiple roles, etc. But, you will need to know PHP.
If the above sounds like Greek or is hard to follow, you might have to hire a developer to accomplish this task. We keep a list of knowledgeable ones on hand if you ever need. Just email [email protected] and request it.
Does that make sense? Did it answer your question? Please let me know. Cheers!

Howdy fred,
I was able to import that file without a hitch. All of the dates are correct, except for one event “The Essence of Joy”. However, when I inspected that event in the CSV I noted the start time was “TBA”. Since that is not a number that could definitely gum up the works. Jan 1st 1970 is the default start date/time for PHP, so when something is invalid (like TBA) that is the date you would get by default.
Are you 100% sure the Events columns match up in your import settings? Here are the settings I used. If you are, then I am at a loss as to why it is working fine for me and not you. It is possible this is caused by a 3rd party plugin or custom WP theme conflicting with the import, but that would be very rare for this sort of thing. You might try importing a simpler CSV first with just a few. The best and most reconizable date format you can use is UTC, which is YYYY-MM-DD. That is the format computers prefer because it is unambiguous and not dependent on locale, hence why it is called the universal standard. Perhaps you could try importing just a few events at a time and see if it chokes. If so, try using the date format above.
If that is not working it is definitely worth disabling all plugins except Tribe ones, and reverting to the default 2013 theme to see if the issue persists.
Please let me know if one of the steps above helps, or if I can clarify or answer more questions. Thanks!

Howdy toddz70,
First of all I am sorry it took us so long to get back to you. There was a mixup over here.
I can reproduce that on empty pages. For instance, if I go to March’s month view, which has no events on my text calendar, I am seeing the problem. Thanks for reporting this and being so thorough about testing. That is a great help. I will log this in our internal bug tracker that way it will get fixed in an upcoming release.
For now I would say it is safe to assume that the month view template parts are on event pages. You should be able to safely remove any calls to tribe_is_event() while we work on a fix. Or, am I not grasping the use case?
Please let me know if I can help. Cheers!

Howdy mikemurphy,
Sadly that was actually a bug in our plugin. It only cropped up on certain days of the year, so we had missed it. I do not believe you will see this problem arise again until March 31st, and I am sure we will have a fix for it long before then.
I am sorry this bug affected your site. Let me know if you have questions or if you are still affected by it for some unknown reason. Thanks!
– Brook
For sure! You could tell the IT staff that The Events Calendar runs some pretty big select statements, to the point that we have to enable SQL_BIG_SELECTS (via SET SQL_BIG_SELECTS=1). That could give them some guidance. It is entirely possible that the server config is already as optimized as possible.
Please let me know if you need anything else. Cheers!

Howdy fcp3org!
I would be happy to answer your questions.
1) Sadly this is not done out of the box. You could add that for sure, but you would definitely need a programmer to do it. Or, you could use and EDD plugin like checkout fields manager out of the box to basically accomplish this. You could add a custom field like “Name(s) of the persons these tickets are for”.
2) It would be very easy to add a shortcode for EDD Ticket info, and then you could place anywhere including inside of other shortcodes. But, you would need to be familiar with the WP shortcode API.
3) Do you mean you would like to import your mailchimp subscribers into as WP users? I am not following what you want here. 🙁 Could you please elaborate?
I would be glad to answer an more questions or clarify, just let me know. Cheers!

Interesting. Thanks for the update. Definitely a help to others who might be trying to do a similar customization. Thanks!
I am sad you had to downgrade, but I totally understand. If you are interested in testing a bit further I may have found the culprit. The theme you sent me defaults to setting custom CSS classes in the sidebar. But, it also allows for custom sidbars, which you have likely already defined. On line 49 of \framework\sidebar-generator.php you will see the following:
'before_widget' => '<aside class="widget '.$sidebar_class.'" id="%1$s">',If you change it to this (like WP recommends plugins/themes do) I think you will be golden:
'before_widget' => '<aside class="widget '.$sidebar_class.' %2$s" id="%1$s">',When you do that if, you inspect the sidebar <aside> elements you should see that they each have their own unique classes, and the tribe events one will have “tribe_mini_calendar_widget” included in the list. Thanks for posting! If you have a chance to try that, please let me know how it turns out.
