Please disregard my last post Geoff.

I read the description on the Aggregator page and see that imports can be saved as drafts first.

I’ve purchased aggregator and testing it out now.

I do have another question. Is there an import Eventbrite events option? I don’t see it anywhere and was wondering how to import form there.

Thanks for your help Jennifer,

I actually just wanted to remove all search options and only allow visitors to our website to either choose Month or List view.

Right now the From search box is showing along with the choice of Month/List views. As I stated before it’s not that big of a deal and not a priority of us to work on right now. We have a lot of other tasks to take care of. We may work on this at some future date.

But thanks again for your time and help

Awesome! Works perfectly. Thanks Jaime!

Thanks again Geoff!

I have one more question.

Is there an option to have all imports save as drafts?

For our website we like to make sure grammar, spelling, etc. is correct before publishing. In addition, some events from other sites (such as Facebook) are poorly written. We would like to edit some descriptions before publishing.

Hi Jennifer

I don’t have the “Hide Location Search” checked… and the field is still hidden.

I’ve attached an image showing this… I will post my system info in a private message.

[ericbonnici]

Thanks the reply and all the info Geoff

This is all helpful.

I have one more question.

If my database ends up with duplicate venues or organizers and the “merge duplicate venues” feature is used…. what happens to the descriptions and featured images?

I have some venues already listed that use featured images and a description / content on the page.

Thanks
Eric

Thanks Jamie,

Yes an older version of ECP (v3.7) did open the outbound links from Venue and Organizer pages to the venue/organizer websites in new windows.

The solutions you provided won’t work for me… except maybe that one plugin but I don’t really want to use a plugin just for those two links.

Would the developers be able to provide code I could add to the theme’s function.php file so I can accomplish this? Or let me know where I can find the code (what lines and what .php file) so I can attempt to change it myself?

Thank you for your assistance Jaime

I will look into these solutions but before I do can you please answer my last question so I can decide how we plan to proceed?

Specifically, old versions of ECP automatically opened outbound links found on Venue and Organizer pages in new web browser Windows / Tabs.

With this new version this is not happening for me anymore.

What I want to know is did ECP Developers change the code so outbound links skip adding the target=_blank attribute?

Or did they not change that… and are they still supposed to open in those links in new Windows/Tabs…. and is it my specifical installation that is not doing this anymore (or is it all new versions of ECP)?

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Thanks Geoff

I will be using all the import options not just the Import From URL option.

In fact, I will be mostly importing events from Facebook (Facebook Pages/Groups)

Does this make a difference to your reply to my question?

I am assuming the other import options, like from Facebook, are working properly and not in beta like the Import From URL option is this correct?

The whole point of using Event Aggregator is to make listing events on our site easier, more efficient and to save time. If you’re suggesting I back up my database every time I do an import than it kind of the defeats the purpose of using Event Aggregator.

Are you able to tell me what the Algorithm in Event Aggregator looks at when trying to match Venues/Organizers already in our ECP Database to the ones they are importing?

I would like to make sure our current venues and organizers have as much info as closely matched to the info that is being imported.

Thanks
Eric

Hello Jennifer, Just wondering if you or anyone from support will be able to answer my question in my last post above this one in this thread?

IF not at least please let me know and thank you.

Hi Jennifer,

Having the “Events From” field showing is not a big deal. I was just wondering if there was an easy one click option.

But now I am a little confused because you said:

“Disabling the search bar actually only removes the “Search” field from the bar, but the “Events from” and “Near” fields are not affected.”

However, with the search bar disabled option on my site is actually showing only the “Events From” field but not the “Near” field…. so now I am confused… is there a coding error or something not working properly on our site?

I’m attaching an image to show you…

Please let me know and thanks

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for your time.

We have found the issue.

My host suggested we clear the database and restore it from a back up.

This seemed to fix the issue and everything seems to be working fine now.

He said that when we moved the database that phpmyadmin may have missed a line because the database was very large.

So he restored the database through the server console to avoid any timeouts. And it seems to have done the trick!

Thanks again and happy new year!

Thanks for responding Brendan,

I reinstalled wordpress by uploading and overwriting all the files by FTP except for the wp-content directory and .htaccess / wpconfig files…

This didn’t fix the issue

So I tried checking for a corrupt .htaccess file (I renamed the .htaccess file to .htaccess-old, then went to settings>permalinks and resaved to generate a new .htaccess file) This didn’t help either

In addition, to not being able to add new events, I am not able to add new pages or new posts to my site. I am getting the same Http 500 error as when I try to add a new event.

So what I did was deactivate the Events Calendar Pro and Events Calendar plugins.

After doing that I was able to get a page to load for a new post and new page but it is missing the content box (area where you input your content) & it says “You are currently editing the page that shows your latest posts”

Very strange

So I deactivated my theme and switched to the Twenty Seventeen theme. I tried to add a new page or post and ended up with the same issue. Missing the content input area and saying “Your currently editing the page that shows your latest posts”.

Next I deactivated all other plugins.

With a barebones wordpress with no plugins and using the Twenty Seventeen theme. I still was getting the same issue when trying to add a new page or post.

I just wanted to see what would happen if I activated only the Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro plugins. This ends up giving me an HTTP 500 Error when I try to add a new page, new post, or new event.

I remember reading on a few wordpress.org support threads that someone had a similar issue (not exactly the same as I am having)… without posting all the details they reset and saved the permissions for the database user. I tried it but this didn’t help either.

I deactivated the EC & ECP plugins, deleted them from the server, and redownloaded the plugins and reinstalled fresh copies of EC 4.6.8 and ECP 4.4.20.1

This didn’t help.

When I reinstalled a fresh copy of WordPress and all the plugins I actually jumped from

EC 3.7 & ECP 3.7 to EC 4.6.8 and ECP 4.4.20.1

Could this be the problem?

I noticed the 3.7 version of ECP is still available for download from my Modern Tribe / Events Calendar Account. But the EC 3.7 version doesn’t seem to be available.

I was thinking of testing out my site with the old plugin versions.

I do have a copy of EC 3.7 from my WordPress backups but don’t want to use it because I am nervous that hackers may have changed the files. Is there anywhere I can get a clean copy of EC 3.7?

Should I even try installing the older versions of the plugins to see if this resolves the issue?

I am also open to any other thoughts or suggestions you might have to trouble shoot this problem.

Thanks Eric

I tried to edit my post and add more information to private area but not sure if it was posted.

Can you tell me if you received my server information and .htaccess file info?

I also posted the error that is being generated (my host emailed it to me)

Here it is again just in case… i edited out my domain name though just in case and used mydomain instead

PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 2 passed to Tribe__Events__Meta__Save::__construct() must be an instance of WP_Post, null given, called in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Main.php on line 3043 and defined in /home/mydomain/public_html/wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Meta/Save.php on line 33
