Howdy Marc,
The closest thing we have to the ability to sync two websites is our iCal Importer and the mini plugin: tribe-snippet-ical-export-2016-07-07 . If you have one website you wish to share all events from, install that mini plugin on it. Then on another website you wish to import events from, select the first websites new iCal feed and set it up as a recurring import. This will continuously pull new events added from one website to the other.
There are some caveats though do to the limitations of iCal, and our calendar supporing a bit more powerful features than it:
- Featured images will not get imported
- iCal contains no information about deleted events, so any event deleted on one website will not get deleted on the other without manually deleting it in both places.
- Recurring events will get imported as single events
- Some other miscelanneous minor features that aren’t supported.
A lot of people have found the iCal importer to suit their needs here, but I outlined the above caveats just in case one is applicable to you.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Kate,
I would love to help you with this. We actually have a tutorial about altering the wording in the calendar. I would checkout that tutorial. We used the word recurring event in a number of phrases on the calendar, mostly in the backend. So I am not exactly sure which area you are hoping to modify. If you are trying to modify it on the front-end of your calendar, then likely the string you want to modify is ‘Recurring %s’. So you would to set this:
$custom_text = array( 'Recurring %s' => 'Other class dates available', );
As per the tutorial.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Ashleigh,
I would love to help you with this.
That should totally be possible. We actually have a tutorial for modifying that bar: Understanding and customizing the Tribe Events Bar. And you’ll notice theres a section on removing filters from it, including example code on how to remove the search!
Does that all make sense? Did that code work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Zach,
I would love to help you with this.
There would be a few options for this:
- What you’re already doing.
- Using oembed to embed some of the event details into a dedicated page.
- Building a custom shortcode powered by tribe_get_events() that does this for you. It could automatically pull in the next upcoming event without manual intervention.
The shortcode option would likely be ideal but it will require at least an hour of dev time, very possibly multiple, to get going.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Sheila,
I would love to help you with this.
Would you mind letting me know how you marked these orders complete? What screen did you use to do it? It is strange they would be On Hold elsewhere.
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.
Cheers!

I hear you. I’ll do what I can to speed it along but it will be at minimum four weeks, and I could see this possibly taking a bit longer. 🙁

Thanks for getting back!
So I am betting what is happening is that the plugin is having trouble reading the title of the post or page the ticket is attached to. In order to generate an ID for a ticket it will take the title of your post/page and turn it into an acronym. If the title is “Park Admission” it would generate PA-1, PA-2, etc. In this case it’s just generating -1, -2.
Are you attaching the events to a custom post type? Could you screenshot the settings page for this post? I’m especially interested in what the Title of the page is set to in the backend. The reason for this is because I can not reproduce your problem, it is always reading the title just fine for me.
Cheers!

Thanks for letting us know Luke! If you guys need anything from us please don’t hesitate to shout, and the same goes for you YCF.
Cheers!

Hmm, is it possible your servers are hosted in bizarro world?
That’s definitely odd. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your attendee screen with some ticket numbers visible? I’d like to examine the numbers and see if anything stands out.
Cheers!

Thanks for taking the time to report this Adam, twice no less. I’ll get back to you on our decision, but yeah at first glance this seems like something we’ll want to address.
In the mean time let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

Howdy Shirly!
Based on what you’ve said I am assuming you are talking about an SEO plugin like Yoast. If so my advice would be to just ignore it in this case. The canonical link is setup such that each recurrence of an event will not be considered a duplicate by search engines. Your SEO plugin might not realize it, but it’s giving you ill informed advice in this case.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy James,
That should be pretty doable. If you run the following code once it will update our plugin telling it that all views (archives) are not used:
tribe_update_option( 'tribeEnableViews', array() );
And that should be it!
Note: You’ll notice that in WP-Admin > Events > Settings > Display all views will now be deselected. If you ever reselect a view and hit save, it will show up again. However if you subsequently need to deselect all views you will need to run that code once more to deselect them, as ordinarily you are prevented from hiding the last remaining view.
Did that do what you wanted?
Cheers!

You are welcome! Thanks for getting back and marking the thread answered.
If the above would work but you want it to happen manually, that seems quite doable with a dash of programming. You should checkout the function wp_unique_post_slug() which has the following filter:
/** * Filter the unique post slug. * * @since 3.3.0 * * @param string $slug The post slug. * @param int $post_ID Post ID. * @param string $post_status The post status. * @param string $post_type Post type. * @param int $post_parent Post parent ID * @param string $original_slug The original post slug. */ return apply_filters( 'wp_unique_post_slug', $slug, $post_ID, $post_status, $post_type, $post_parent, $original_slug );
If you wrote a filter for that you could alter duplicates, or event all events, to append any thing you wanted include a date. This does just apply to the slug portion of the URL though: /event/example-2
Anyways, I just wanted to offer one more alternative in case it might work better.
Cheers!

Howdy again Mike,
That makes sense. And you are in the clear, we do expressly support have a dev/staging site alongside production and it’s all legally covered by one license. See Tutorial: Using one license for your live and dev sites.
As that tutorial says basically all you forgo is automated updates when you are using one license on multiple sites like that. If you are doing automatic updates from the production URL, then I would activate it there and deactivate the live. Or, if you are not doing automatic updates (Manually Updating plugins) at all I would honestly just skip inputting a license key anywhere. The only thing they help with is automatic updates. Your plugin will behave fine and should not alert you when it’s run without a license key.
Would one of those options work?
Cheers!
