Update: I found that changing “Events template” to “Default Page Template” got things mostly back to where I prefer them. However, it added a sidebar! Now how can I get rid of that?

I searched some and found this: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/divi-and-full-width-pages-for-events/ but it’s suggesting going back to the Default Events Template setting that made this all look ugly in the first place.

Any ideas?

That’s super cool that you put that together.

I had removed the cheaper (deposit only) ticket, since we didn’t want to disappoint people when they found out the actual price was much higher. So I just now went in and added it back, to test your snippet. After adding it back, it’s still showing $1500 (the full-price) at the top of the event and on the event listing page. So I’m confused as to why it didn’t work before, but now works, but it’s working! Without your snippet or anything….

I’m totally confused, but am just glad it works. You can see here: http://birthlearning.com/class/advanced-doula-training-fall-2015/

You’ll notice both tickets are at the bottom of the page, but the price at the top is $1500 instead of the $200 it was displaying previously. Not sure why or how removing the $200 ticket then re-adding it later, made it work, but it did.

Oh, and I meant to say thank you for linking to that upcoming solution on my 2nd issue. I hope you all will be able to get it done soon (though I know it’s a way out). I assume your devs have already thought of this, but just in case they haven’t, I’ll just paste what I said on Uservoice, to make sure someone sees it:

If I understand correctly, currently tickets add individual products in WooCommerce. I would think the simple fix would be to change it so each ticket is added as a variation. So you have 1 product for each event. Then various tickets are variations of that product.

From there this problem should be solved: WooCommerce allows you to set inventory at either the product or variation level. If you set it at the product level, (I believe) it sets the total available for all variations of that product. So then all you have to do is go into the product and set your inventory there, or you guys could include a field for “total tickets” in the “add tickets” part of the Event. But all it would have to do is set the inventory amount for the WooCommerce product, since now all tickets are variations of that product.

Hope that makes sense/is helpful. I could see other potential benefits from having tickets handled as variations (aka variable products) in WooCommerce, not just this fix.

Thanks Geoff. I’d hoped to avoid child themes and such like that, since it causes things to get messy as plugins and themes get updated. I’m very comfortable with Child themes and all that, I just prefer to avoid them and keep them as simple as possible. So would it be possible to programmatically change just that line, like in a plugin (or functions.php) without having to duplicate that entire file? I’d much rather have a little plugin or snippet that exists outside the theme, to take care of this. Though I’m very familiar with WP, I’m not a programmer. So I’m just wondering if this would be possible?

I bought Pro and tried it out. That’s not going to work unfortunately. I need it to show an event just 1 time everywhere, except in the calendar view. I’ll just use the free version and WooCommerce Tickets for now. I can make it work that way. But will happily buy Pro again, if recurring/multiple dates are added for individual events. I’ll email that address to get my refund.

Thanks for your detailed reply. I’ll look into these options. It’s especially good to know this isn’t being overlooked. Most of the other threads ended with essentially “you can’t do this, but you could use recurring events” or no reply at all.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that you can’t sell recurring events? That they ticket plugin doesn’t work with them. Or did I misunderstand, since it sounds like that’s what you’re saying I should do? If that does work, can we still display them as single events in the list view? I don’t want 5 different events for each class.
