MozakDesign – Can you tell me what files changed to make the homepage display events? Step by step please?
Hold on…beyond what you can do here?
Wait…since you already told me the field names here: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/data-dictionary-database-fields-needed-for-csv-import/And “event_category” is one of them…
Can’t you tell me the line number and php file that that sets the variable for the event id number as inputted? If so, I can probably parse the input and assign an event category from there…
First, I appreciate the offer to have a look.
This issue has now been solved. I spoke w the author. Here was his reply: “Our themes let you create custom post types and uses the “pre_get_posts” filter hook to change what post types are displayed on the homepage. You’d have to manually add in the post type to the query in the themename/functions/core.php within the it_query_posts function which begins on line 38. Maybe try adding this after line 62 (which worked): $post_type[] = ‘tribe_events’;”
The author further implied that though the line numbers might change from theme to theme, this modification would be necessary in 6/7 themes by Industrial themes if you want to include the events in the loop as they specialize in themes w custom post types.
You might want to make note of that w your staff in case someone is using an Industrial theme in the future and has this same question (or a similar theme that uses custom post types)

2. There is some kind of conflict in my theme. The theme is “Steam” by Industrial Themes (http://www.industrialthemes.com/steam/). If I disable the theme, events show up in the post loop just fine via the “Include Events in Main Blog Loop” but the dont show when I turn the steam theme back on.
Any ideas on how to get this working…?
Hey Julie (or current support team member):
The correct items in the facebook graph are no longer “picture” and “large. Its now “cover” and “source”
So using “ITPromotion’s” example in the first post in the thread:
/601792773227011?fields=cover
Which produces the following as a result:
{
“cover”: {
“cover_id”: 626227990770611,
“source”: “https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1/s720x720/1606959_626227990770611_435274039_n.jpg”,
“offset_y”: 41,
“offset_x”: 0
},
“id”: “601792773227011”,
“start_time”: “2014-01-25T21:00:00+0100”
}
The sub-field “source” produces: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/t1/s720x720/1606959_626227990770611_435274039_n.jpg which his the large format / “big picture” that the event creator originally submitted and is what ITPromotion is looking forIs it possible for you guys to alter your facebook plugin so that it grabs the cover/source instead of your current setting, picture? Also, can you set the featured image as this same cover/source? It looks like lines 317-358 of the-events-calendar-facebook-importer.php though there may be a few more sections of the code that you might need to alter (this was a cursory analysis and I havent had time to look at it that deep yet…)

Im not sure. Because if you use the WP function, doesnt that create a “regular” post category if you specify one…and NOT an “event” category?
To elaborate, I was under the impression that after your plugin is installed and activated, there are TWO category columns: One thats stock wp and the other thats specific for events created via your plugin…and your response suggests that that might not be the case, that specifying an event category ISNT stored in the stock wp category column…
Can you clarify?
If the dev is reading this thread, he full image in the graph api is
“cover”: {
“cover_id”: id-number,
“source”: “https://sphotos-url.jpg”
}
