Thanks so much for the extra info! That’s super helpful.

Try adding this to your theme’s style.css file or by using the Simple Custom CSS plugin:

.single-tribe_events #tribe-events-content .tribe-events-event-meta dt {
text-align: left;
}

.single-tribe_events #tribe-events-content .tribe-events-event-meta dd {
position: relative;
top: -4px
}

Here’s a screenshot of how that looks when I tested it out. Will that work for you as well?

Thanks!

Hey Simon,

Thanks for following up and for the feedback as well. I understand that the docs could be organized better and that’s something we’ll definitely consider looking into.

If you have any doubts about the quality of the plugin, you can certainly raise them here and I’d be happy to help as best I can. Also, The Events Calendar is a completely free plugin and you can open up the core files to inspect the quality of the code as well. We do try to make all our plugins as flexible and extensible as possible and I think you would find the same thing to be true in working with it.

Cheers,
Geoff

Nice work, Chris!

You should be able to format the date — I haven’t tested this, but think at least something similar would do the trick:

$date = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_EventStartDate', true);

if($date != ''){
echo date("l, F j, Y", strtotime($date)); // or whatever format you'd like
}

Cheers!
Geoff

That’s a nice workaround! I not only appreciate you letting me know but for sharing it here with others as well. Awesome work. 🙂

Hey @angust and thanks for following up!

Any role should be fine. I think the default role in WordPress is Subscriber and the Better Notifications for WordPress plugin will allow you to create a notification specifically for that role.

I do want to note that I did try installing the Better Notifications for WordPress plugin and it did not seem to have a trigger for the exact kind of notification I think you’re looking to send. I may have overlooked something, but wanted to at least throw that out there since I noticed.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey Karen, thanks for following up!

I did install it on our site but it seems that the options does not display just like what is shown here https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-category-colors/screenshots/

I should clarify that the Category Colors plugin is by another plugin author and that they support it directly here on WordPress.org. They might be the best to get in touch with to find out why the settings page for category colors is different for you than it is in the screenshots.

I tried installing the plugin myself and the settings appeared to be correct (screenshot). I would suggest testing for conflicts then reaching out to the Category Colors support forum with the results to see if they can pinpoint what is preventing you from being able to select colors for categories on that screen.

Sorry I don’t have a more concrete solution for you, but I hope this at least gets things moving in the right direction.

Thanks!
Geoff

Excellent! Thanks so much for the code, that helps a ton. 🙂

See how query_posts is being used? That’s a totally valid way to query events — in fact, it’s the best way to query most WordPress posts.

The problem with it in this case is that query_posts will fetch all events, regardless of whether they are past or upcoming and there is no filter to limit it only to upcoming events.

Instead, I would suggest building a new query for those pages based of tribe_get_events instead. IT’s essentially the same thing as using query_posts but has additional parameters it accepts specifically for events, such as the ability to filter out past and upcoming events.

This guide has the full documentation for tribe_get_events and also has great examples of how to use the function.

Your query might look something like this:

// Retrieve the next 5 upcoming events in occupational-first-aid-level-1 category
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'posts_per_page' => 5,
'tribe_events_cat' => 'occupational-first-aid-level-1',
) );

// Loop through the events
foreach ( $events as $event ) { ?>
<li>
<div class="Date">
<b><?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post->ID, true, $format = 'F j, Y - l' );?></b><br>
<?php echo tribe_get_start_date($post->ID, false, $format = 'g:i a' );?> to <?php echo tribe_get_end_date($post->ID, false, $format = 'g:i a' );?></div>
<div class="Location"><b><?php echo tribe_get_venue()?></b><br><?php echo tribe_get_address()?></div>
<div class="Cost"><?php echo tribe_get_cost($post->ID, true)?></div>
<div class="Register"><a class="download_button" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>">Register</a></div>
</li>
<?php } ?>

I haven’t tested that but hopefully will at least help you get started!

Hi Karen,

Sure thing! I’ve submitted a refund for Order #1153793 and the funds should be in your account within the next 5-10 business days.

In the meantime, here is a direct link to Events Calendar PRO you can use to purchase that license instead.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hey Noah, I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer — I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please feel free to let us know if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

I really wish there was — however, the only shortcodes that are available are the ones that are included in Events Calendar PRO to embed the widgets. I really do think that overriding the widget templates or using the tribe_get_events function to create a custom query of events are the two best ways to go for that sort of customization.

Geoff

[Geoff]

Hey Noah, thanks for writing in!

It looks like those buttons are coming from another plugin. The best way would be to configure that plugin so that it’s settings are disabled for Events posts, but you can also use this CSS in your theme’s style.css file or by using the Simple Custom CSS plugin to hide the buttons:

.events-single .socialcount {
display: none;
}

Here’s a screenshot of how that looks when I test it out on your site.

Will that work for you as well? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey there and thanks for getting in touch! I’m really stoked to hear you’re loving the plugins so far. 🙂

Ack, I hate it when theme styles and plugin styles conflict with one another! We can totally clean things up though.

Do you happen to have a live link where I can view the page? The screenshot helps but since this is a theme styling conflict, it would be awesome to view the code source so I can pin down the exact conflicts and some CSS to clean it up.

If that’s not possible, then I think this post would be super helpful because it walks through how to identify which classes are being used and what would need to be edited.

Cheers!

Hi Karen,

I was just looking at your account and only see one license in there for iCal Importer and that the purchase on Aug. 19 was for an iCal Importer license renewal.

Would you like me to refund the iCal Importer renewal purchase so that you can purchase Events Calendar PRO instead? Please let me know and I’d be happy to do that.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Jay, hope you had a great weekend!

Yes, it is totally possible to list an attendee’s confirmed ticket purchases. Here’s a guide that walks through that step-by-step, including a special shortcode you can use to embed that list of tickets anywhere.

Will that help you get started? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hey Chris, thanks for getting in touch!

I’m afraid there is not a shortcode that will give you that specific layout.

I do think this is possible, though it will take a fair amount of custom development to make it happen. For example, you could override the Event List widget templates to create your own layout for when it’s embedded in pages and posts. Or, you could create your own query of events using the tribe_get_events function and then style the output from there with CSS.

Does this make sense and will it work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
