I’ve had the same issue and downgrading to the events calendar pro 4.3 resolved it- you can access older versions from your account under downloads, there’s a version dropdown so you can download and install the version of your choice. i know it’s a temporary fix, but the guys here are usually pretty helpful- it might be we have a common plugin or theme that’s causing the issue, I’m sure they’re on the case..

Hi Cliff- of course i could use categories!
obviously, having overlooked the simple option, i’ve ended up with a fairly interesting solution involving the Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin, and about a day’s worth of tinkering.
I set up a field group with 2 date/time pickers for start_date and end_date, and a post object id field which pulled the ID of the available venues.
I then built a page template which as well as the page content, displayed the venue information at the top, and showed a list of events in the range specified by the start and end dates with a tribe_get_events loop that used the output from those fields as values for the start date, end date and venue options

added here for posterity:
function to return the ACF fields as usable data:

<?php
$theatre = get_field('theatre');
$day1start = get_field('start_time1');
$day1end = get_field('end_time1');
$day1nice = get_field('start_time1', false, false);
$nicedate1 = new DateTime($day1nice);
?>

Function to show the venu information:

<?php

$args = array('p' => $theatre, 'post_type' => 'tribe_venue');
$loop = new WP_Query($args);
?>
<?php while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); ?>
                                <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>
                                <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_post_thumbnail('medium' , array('class'=>'aligncenter'));?></a>
                                <?php endif;?>
                                <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content (); ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>

Function to query the posts and display the looped data with the date as a prominent title using styles already in the theme:

<h3><?php echo $nicedate1->format('l, M j'); ?></h3>
                                    <ul>
                                        <?php
                                        global $post;
                                        $events_query = tribe_get_events( array(
                                            'start_date' => $day1start,
                                            'end_date'   => $day1end ,
                                            'venue'=> $theatre
                                        ));
                                        foreach($events_query as $post) {
                                            setup_postdata($post);
                                        ?>
                                        <li>
                                            <?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() ): ?>

definitely using a hammer to crack an egg here. Thanks for the help though – maybe this will come in useful to someone one day! i’ll add the feature to the user voices as well – cracking support as usual!
Thanks,

Beautiful- that’s great service guys! i even managed to modify it to show multiple speakers with their links, using a hybrid of your loop and my original code- you’ve probably got a better handle on whether it’s any use to you or not- i don’t know how common our use case is, as we’re using it to schedule and describe seminars at large trade shows- but for me having multiple organizers listed for an event is REALLY useful as the speakers are the big draw- feel free to appropriate it for knowledgebase etc if it’s something that comes up again 😉
final code below:

<?php
/**
 * List View Loop
 * This file sets up the structure for the list loop
 *
 * Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/list/loop.php
 *
 * @package TribeEventsCalendar
 *
 */

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	die( '-1' );
} ?>

<?php
global $post;
global $more;
$more = false;
?>

<?php 
/**
 * Custom organizer information if we're on a single-venue view. 
 *
 * @link https://goo.gl/bABuFh
 */

$is_single_venue_page = tribe_is_venue(); ?>

<div class="tribe-events-loop">

	<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
		<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_inside_before_loop' ); ?>

		<!-- Month / Year Headers -->
		<?php tribe_events_list_the_date_headers(); ?>

		<!-- Event  -->
		<?php
		$post_parent = '';
		if ( $post->post_parent ) {
			$post_parent = ' data-parent-post-id="' . absint( $post->post_parent ) . '"';
		}
		?>

		<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php tribe_events_event_classes() ?>" <?php echo $post_parent; ?>>

			<?php 
			/**
			 * Custom organizer information if we're on a single-venue view. 
			 *
			 * @link https://goo.gl/bABuFh
			 */
			if ( true == $is_single_venue_page ) : ?>

				<h3>Speaking: <?php
                    //extra info
        $organizer = tribe_get_organizer();
        $organizer_ids = tribe_get_organizer_ids();
        $multiple = count( $organizer_ids ) > 1;
		foreach ( $organizer_ids as $organizer ) {
			if ( ! $organizer ) {
				continue;
			}

			?>
			<?php echo tribe_get_organizer_link( $organizer )?>
			<?php
		}

		if ( ! $multiple ) { // only show organizer details if there is one
			
		}//end if

		?></h3>
			
			<?php endif; ?>

			<?php tribe_get_template_part( 'list/single', 'event' ) ?>
		</div>

		<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_inside_after_loop' ); ?>
	<?php endwhile; ?>

</div><!-- .tribe-events-loop -->

Thanks Cliff! it definitely started me in the right direction. i’ll admit i am a php novice, so excuse the terminology if it’s a little off- but here’s my solution, at least for the multiple links:

1: in the ‘single-event.php’ templates in the corresponding folders :/tribe-events, tribe-events/list, tribe-events/day, i ensured i was getting the correct information by adding the following snippet to the initial template query (the bit at the top for other noobs) like so:

$organizer_ids = tribe_get_organizer_ids();
$multiple = count( $organizer_ids ) > 1;

then instead of <?php echo( tribe_get_organizer_link() ); ?>
i used a modified version of the code from the organizer.php template with the additional markup and details stripped out :

<?php
        $organizer_ids = tribe_get_organizer_ids();
$multiple = count( $organizer_ids ) > 1;

		do_action( 'tribe_events_single_meta_organizer_section_start' );

		foreach ( $organizer_ids as $organizer ) {
			if ( ! $organizer ) {
				continue;
			}

			?>
			
				<?php echo tribe_get_organizer_link( $organizer ) ?>
                
			
			<?php
		}

		if ( ! $multiple ) { 
		}//end if

		do_action( 'tribe_events_single_meta_organizer_section_end' );
		?>

This just returns a series of links, i added in commas using the a:after pseudo element, and removed it from the final item by using the a:last-of-type:after selector.
I’m looking into the featured images now, will post updates as i make progress!
thanks again.
Pete
