Howdy Lucy!
I would love to help you with this.
In theory what you want is very possible. In practice that is going to be difficult to implement and rather prone to breaking with plugin updates. I would strongly advise you not to do this.
But if you don’t wish to heed my advice and have some mad programming skills: You will need to familiarize yourself with the WP Rewrite API. All of our URLs are a part of it. It sounds like you would want to add a few a rules to it that point to those categories events. With those in place visiting those pages will now take you to where you want to be, but nowhere on the calendar will link to them. The easiest way to solve this would be using your .htaccess file (or equivalent) to create redirects that push those categories to the new URLs you added.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Simon,
I would love to help you with this.
The first step would be add the field to the page itself. You can do this by following our Themer’s Guide . Specifically you would want to override /the-events-calendar-community-events/src/views/community/edit-event.php With an override in place for that file you can add a new field.
I would give the new field the name/id of “excerpt”. If memory serves you will not even need to process the data submitted by this field, only add it to the front end. This is because we already have builtin the ability to process the fields the backend supports, including tags and I believe excerpt as well. So once you add the field and name it properly you will be done!
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Jason,
I would love to help you with this.
Have you seen tribe_get_events() ? It’s basically a drop-in replacement for get_posts as used in your link, and it behaves exactly how you want. Instead of :
$posts_array = get_posts('post_type=tribe_events');I believe this will do exactly what you need:
$posts_array = tribe_get_events( array( 'posts_per_page' => 3, ) );Did that fit your needs?
Cheers!

Howdy Jacob,
I love the Google Calendar interface too. We do have Community Events which does provide an interface on the front end, although it is a bit different from Google Calendar. Does that maybe do what you want?
If not, please suggest this as a feature on UserVoice (feature suggestion page for The Events Calendar). We love that sort of feedback, always looking to make the calendar easier to use.
Cheers!

Howdy Manuela!
I would love to help you with this. Thanks for bearing with us, slightly longer responses over the holiday.
That is totally possible. It will require modifying the Email template to insert that info, and so a little bit of knowledge on modifying templates will be helpful. The first step is to familiarize yourself with the Themer’s Guide if you have not already. Now you will create an override for /event-tickets/src/views/tickets/email.php Within this file you will where it outputs the info for each ticket in the Tickets Email. Inside of this loop insert a call to tribe_get_custom_fields() to get the Additional fields data. Output the field you need, and you’re all set!
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Howdy Somer,
First of all sorry that other thread closed. They autoclose after two weeks of inactivity.
Is a patch still in progress to fix this as mentioned by Brook here:https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/double-price-fields-for-event-ticket/#post-1124528 ?
Brian was actually the developer designated with patching this, which is why he followed up. What he found was that we could patch this specific issue, but the old version of WooCommerce Tickets would still not be fully compatible with the latest The Events Calendar. We have now done about 10 releases since WooCommerce Tickets was replaced by Event Tickets Plus, and with each new release of The Events Calendar it is getting harder to maintain compatibility. So he was just reporting his findings there and giving you some options, since work on the patch has been suspended based on those insights.
We cannot use Option 1 “Events Tickets Plus” because it does not support recurring events.
Do you mind clarifying what you mean by this? While Event Tickets Plus does not yet officially support recurring events, WooCommerce never did either. Event Tickets Plus is actually slightly more compatible with recurring events as we have been lots of architecture changes this past year with the end goal of giving it official support soon.
In case it was not clear, when Event Tickets Plus was released it was really just a new name for WooCommerce Tickets. They shared basically all of the same code, just with a few extra features added to the new version. And in the last year we have added a lot more features. In every way Event Tickets Plus is just a better version of WooCommerce Tickets, I am not aware of a single feature missing from the original that its replacement does not have.
Option 2 of downgrading doesn’t seem smart because we may lose features or introduce new bugs.
If I were you I would consider downgrading a last resort as well. To me option one is in every way superior.
Please let me know what you’re thinking here. We fully realize that switching product names can be scary. Which is why we have been trying hard to support the old name for the past year. We did not want anyone to feel forced into a surprise upgrade. But with each passing month it is becoming more important to upgrade. Eventually you will have to upgrade if you plan to continue updating your plugins and WordPress. So as Brian laid out with Option 1, perhaps now is the time?

Howdy Jacob,
I would truly love to give you some quality code that does this, but it is not quite possible with our current API. I was inquiring about your needs mostly to see if the one thing that actually is possible for us to build would fit your needs. If more folks have similar needs it would help us know what to build next.
If you are a skilled programmer and are willing to fork or modify our current plugin, this could be possible. I would checkout Tribe__Events__Importer__Importer::saveEvents(). This function already checks if an event is set. If I were to modify it I would note each event ID that gets inserted or updated by this function, then afterwords I would run a query that deletes each post where the meta_key ‘_EventIcalSource’ matches those events, but is not in the list of IDs you created. This should do what you want. But from what I am seeing there is no action or filter in here that would allow this, so you will have to fork the plugin. 🙁
Even if you are not a programmer though you should vote on this feature request I just added.
Please let me know if you have any followup questions. Cheers!

Thanks for your willingness to help!
GoDaddy seems to have a help article applicable to your hosting service: Export MySQL Databases . I would try following that. It will give you a file downloaded on your computer, that you could then upload here alongside a reply. If you do upload it be sure to check the box “Set as private reply” that way only Tribe Employees will have access to it. It’s always best to keep copies of your DB away from the public.
If that’s too much of a pain, or if the GoDaddy walkthrough is not applicable to your setup, no worries. I don’t want to inconvenience you. We really appreciate the amount of assistance you’ve offered already. 🙂

Howdy Julius,
I see your thread on .org. Thank you for going there!
For anyone else encountering this issue this miniature plugin is fixing it for me. Simply upload and activate it on your website like any other plugin to cause this error to go away. We will patch this bug in a future release:
If you need any further help please open up a support topic. Cheers!

Howdy Heather!
I just heard back from the developer assigned to fixing this ticket. He noted that he has never been able to reproduce the errors your seeing, and neither has anyone on the team. That’s why when he pushed a “fix” in 4.2.1 last week it did not fix everything. He had no way of confirming whether the fix worked.
Now, we could do the same thing again, and hope that our fix will work. Or even better we could collect more information and find a way to reproduce this issue. Would you be willing to share a dump of your database, such as one exported via PHPMyAdmin? No worries if not, we can still do our best here but it will be hard to make guarantees.
Cheers!

Howdy Jacob,
I would love to help you with this.
We do not offer such an import method. There really is not a great event format I know of that even offers that capability.
One workaround that might works for some would be to delete any event imported from a given feed if it’s not present in the iCal file. This has a huge caveat, if the iCal file is incomplete then all of the missing events would get deleted. The could happen if the iCal file was split into two parts, or only shows upcoming events. Then the other half of events would get deleted.
Are you in a position where you would like to delete any event that’s simply not present in the iCal feed?
Cheers!

Howdy Again,
“With Event Tickets Plus 4.1+, you can have your attendees fill out additional attendee information forms whenever they buy a ticket or RSVP to an event. If you have added attendee information to any of your events tickets, you can find the data for each attendee by clicking the View Details link on the Attendee list.”
It is referring to the same thing I was when I said you need to click on it to show the details.
I am sorry, I misunderstood your initial request. I thought you were hoping to add the info as a column to that table rather than needing to click on it. I now see that the View Details link was not actually showing you the details, hence your question.
Did you recently change the labels on your Attendee Meta? If you edit the label unfortunately this hides all previously input attendee meta. And since the meta is hidden clicking View Details shows nothing. This is a bug, and one we plan to fix. Until it’s fixed though I would recommend changing your label back to the original, this will cause the old meta to appear when you click View Details. Does this sound like the problem?
If you do not recall changing any field names/labels, then could you try adding a new field and doing a test order in which you fill it out. Does this new field appear when you click View Details on the test order?
Cheers!
