Howdy Jounghan,
You can definitely move that form. I am not super familiar with Avada but perhaps our tutorial here will still help you move it: Moving the Eventbrite Tickets box The instructions there in might still work for Avada, depending on how Avada is designed. If that does not work though you should reach out to the fine folks at Avada. They have intimate knowledge of how their templates are designed, actually have a copy of the theme, and have informed us they are happy to help with these sorts of questions.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Mohd,
I would love to help you with this. You are not the first person who thought Pro might include Community Events. I am sorry for the confusion, we do our best to make this clear but the name “Pro” is a bit confusing.
If you would like to exchange the plugins you will first need to request a refund. Go here to get a refund. Now that you have your product refunded, feel free to purchase Community Events.
Does that all make sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.
Cheers!

Howdy Akis,
I would love to help you with this. It sounds like you might be suffering from an overly large amount of cached pages. You can confirm this by double checking which database table is the largest. If it is the wp_options table that is consuming much of the 600MB, it’s probably this issue.
There is a loophole in our calendar right now when you have Month View Caching enabled. We will cache any month you view in the WordPress cache. And that’s the problem. There are plenty of robots out there that visit your website, most of them like Google will not visit all of the month view pages because we have have a little flag on those pages saying they should not be indexed. But some robots will visit the pages anyways, and they can view many thousands of pages. When you have thousands of pages cached your database gets big.
We plan to introduce throttling in the future to put a maximum limit on how many pages can get cached. Until then this problem can be resolved by disabling the Month View Cache. WP will gradually empty all of the pages in the “transient” cache and your database will shrink. Or you can force it to clear the cache by using a plugin like Transient Cleaner.
Did that work? Does that all make sense?
Cheers!

Howdy again,
I am so happy that helped!
since I am using gravity forms to create/update the instructor is there a similar way to save an email address to the ‘organizer[Email]’ field? That really seems to be the last piece of the puzzle.
There definitely has to be a way. But I am not familiar enough with Gravity forms to know what the difficulty is. 🙁 If you can clarify on how you added the field and why the email is being especially difficult I might be able to help.

Absolutely. The template you would modify to hide them only applies to the front end public view of the calendar. The edit views available to you and the user who submitted the event will still show the fields.

Oh that makes sense. I did not spot that either (yet). Thanks very much for sharing the solution!
Cheers!

I follow! Thank you for detailing this.
If you need any help modifying our templates or embedding things using the WP API do let me know. If you have not seen it already our Themer’s Guide showcases how to modify the templates.
Thanks!

Howdy Amin,
Thank you so much for following that tutorial. I just noticed you are on an older version of the plugin. A few versions back there actually was a bug like this that we patched. Would you mind updating?
Cheers!

Hey I am stoked you like our plugins so much!
I could definitely see some solutions using Community Events. The simplest way to do this would be exactly what you say, have a category dedicated for this sort of thing and show that category using the list widget. Using a little bit of CSS you could hide the dates from displaying, so whatever they input as the date is mostly irrelevant. Further you can hide this category from the default calendar view by using a snippet like this:
https://gist.github.com/elimn/c47fb3e65d437c2479bd
That snippet may require a bit of customization. First of all you probably want to uncomment the line which shows single events. Second you will want to exit the function (return $wp_query) if the user is viewing the page with the widget on it, otherwise the widget will return no results since all of the events are hidden.
If you are up for customizing things you could take that simple idea a lot further. You could create a separate submission page that does not even have the date field and preselects the category. This would actually be fairly easy to do if you are versed in PHP. You could add a query var to the events add URL. Say your URL is example.com/events/community/add, then for the bulletin page maybe link to example.com/events/community/add?bulletin=submit . Now when someone clicks on your bulleting submission link they will still see the Community page, but you will know they intend to submit a bulletin. If you create a theme override for the Community Submit page (Themer’s Guide) then just check to see if the bulletin query var is present. If it is, hide the events module, which contains the date selector and such, and replace it with an <input type=hidden /> that contains your preferred value for the date. Maybe make it a month out like you said? You can further do the same thing with the category module, and anything else on the page not applicable to your use.
Further you can modify the Event List widget module by following our Themer’s Guide as well. You can again check to see if the page being shown is the one with your widget, and if so do any modification you want.
Please let me know if I can help with the above, especially getting the “basic” idea going. If you are not versed in PHP even the basic part might be a bit daunting. But the most complicated part is just hiding those events from the regular calendar views, any maybe you don’t need to do that.
Cheers!
