Hey SH, thanks for getting in touch.

That sounds really interesting! I haven’t personally seen an integration like that, but each published event is associated with a WordPress user, so I think it would be possible. For example, you could use the tribe_get_events function to build the query and insert in conditions that fetch event specifically for a registered user based on ID or something like that.

Cheers!

Hey Matt,

Great question and the answer is yes, absolutely. The custom fields in Events Calendar PRO will definitely be available for folks to complete in the Community Events submission form if both plugins are installed and active. 🙂

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Hi Jennifer!

I see that there is a custom bit of CSS in the stylesheet hiding the top navigation. Please try adding this to your stylesheet or by using the Simple Custom CSS plugin:

#tribe-events-content #tribe-events-header {
display: block !important;
}

That will reveal the navigation (screenshot) but will need some additional styling to position it with other elements on the page. 🙂

Will this work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Hello Neil,

When you head to the Tickets tab on that screen you shared, that should bring up a list of options like the ones here in this screenshot. Do you see those options?

If so, please make sure that “Events” is selected in the option for post types that can have tickets. If it is not already selected, go ahead and do so and save your changes.

If not, then please stop there, take a screenshot and share that options screen with me. Also, please head to Events > Settings > Help, copy the System Information at the bottom of the screen and paste it here for me as a private reply. That will help me check a few other settings.

Let’s start here and see what we find!

Hey Jordan and welcome to the forums!

Good question — you can use the tribe_get_cost() function to fetch the event cost. So that would look something like this:

<?php
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'start_date' => date( 'Y-m-d' )
) );

foreach ( $events as $event ) {
echo '<h4>$event->post_title</h4>';
tribe_get_cost();
}?>

Cheers!

Hi Arthur, and welcome to the forums!

So sorry for the mixup! Community Events is actually the plugin that offers the front-end event submission functionality. Would you like me to refund your order so you can pick that up instead? Please let me know and I’d be happy to do that.

Thanks!
Geoff

Thanks, Marc! Cheers and best of luck with your project.

Hey Marc and thanks for getting in touch!

Yeah, WPML integration is something we’ve been working really hard on. In fact, it took quite a while for us just to get everything working well with The Events Calendar.

For the time being, we are working on getting more of our plugins–like Events Calendar PRO and Event Tickets–integrated as well, but we’ve learned that it requires WPML to make some changes as well and we’ve had to work closely with that team to pull some things off.

That said, I do not have a solid suggestion for selling tickets using a multilingual integration. I think this is an area that all calendar plugins need to improve on and we’re doing our best to keep on rolling out improved WPML integrations as we go.

Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you, but does at least help a bit? Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help as best I can.

Thanks so much,
Geoff

Awesome! Thanks so much for following up to let me know — feel free to let us know if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers and have a great day,

The plugin itself does not create multiple calendars. However, you can categorize and tag events in such a way that you can filter the calendar by those and have a unique URL to link directly to those views — which is a lot like having multiple calendars. 🙂

Cool, thanks for the info!

Just to eras any doubts, do the map controls look correct if you switch to the default WordPress Twenty Sixteen theme? I see that you mentioned having tried that, so I want to see if this is specific to the theme. If you could provide a screenshot of the map when switching theme, that would be awesome as well.

Thanks,
Geoff

[Geoff]

Thanks a ton, Jerry! That screenshot is super helpful. 🙂

I was able to create an event using the exact same settings. Here is a screenshot of that.

The event did not multiply on the front end after December. Here is a screenshot of March 2017 as an example.

The event also did not seem to multiply in the WordPress admin area. Here is a screenshot of that.

So, what I’m suspecting is that there might a conflict with either the theme you’re using or perhaps another installed plugin but we’ll need to test that make sure. Will you please do a few things for me:

• Delete the recurring event
• Follow the steps outlined here to deactivate installed plugins and and switch to a default WordPress theme
• Create a new recurring event in place of the last one using the same settings you shared with me
• Stop there and let me know if the event is still multiplying in those conditions — screenshot where possible!
• Reactivate the plugins and your theme one by one to see if any of those trigger the multiplication

I’m hoping this will pinpoint the exact cause of the issue! Let’s see what we find.

Thanks,
Geoff

Oh man, that is AWESOME! Seriously nice work — that’s definitely going to be useful for others.

Is there any way to select EVENT Categories in the Widgets options for the Event List Widget…rather then just the number of posts….Like the default wordpress blog post categories allows????

Yes, but only in the version that comes with Events Calendar PRO. The list widget included in that version will allow you to filter events displayed in the list by a number of options, including category.

You are awesome for following up and providing that solution!

Hi there!

Good question. I think it would require a custom query to show both past and upcoming events on the same page using the tribe_get_events() function in a new page template. We actually have a pretty nice tutorial that walks through how that function is used with examples that should help you get started.

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

Cheers!

Hi Katherine, thanks for following up!

A recurring event is a single event post that duplicates itself intentionally a number of times that it is set to do. So, for example, an event that is set to recur on the first of every month for one year starting January 1, 2016 will duplicate itself 11 times until it;s last instance on December 1, 2016.

The first event in that series is what I’m referring to as the “parent”. In WordPress, editing that event will edit all of the others.

So, if a ticket is created for a recurring event, it will be attached to the “parent” in the recurring series rather than each individual instance. In other words, a ticket sold for the March 1, 2016 instance is actually a ticket sold for the January 1, 2016 parent. That is why recurring events and tickets are not currently compatible.

Regardless, it sounds like you would still need Events Calendar PRO and Event Tickets Plus for other features, even though they do not integrate together in that specific way. I just wanted you to have a good idea of that limitation before you make the purchase.

Are there filters/hooks that would facilitate this sort of approach? Or am I duplicating existing functionality that will be available soon anyway? Or just making it too complicated.

I think that would take a lot more custom development, to be honest. The work we’ve been putting into building a way for recurring events and tickets to work together has required a lot more complex work than it might seem is needed and I’m doubtful that Gravity Forms would be a viable workaround for it.

Cheers!
Geoff
