Hi Lee,

Happy Monday and I hope you had a great weekend!

Have you seen our iCal Importer add-on? I think this is worth checking out because it allows you to take the URL of a hosted calendar (.ics) file and automatically import the events in it into WordPress and The Events Calendar. I have to be honest that I do am quite unfamiliar with calDAV, but if the file is hosted on a server and a URL is available, then this might be the best bet.

Another option would be to use something like Google Calendar to manage your events. That would allow you to publish them once, then perhaps import to both your calDAV server and to WordPress in one fell swoop. 🙂

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

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Mu-eed,

That’s an interesting question. I do think that would be possible, though it would take some custom development to accomplish. The tooltips are controlled with Javascript and that would need to be edited in order to look for a hover action instead of a click.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey James,

Oh, interesting idea!

While Event Tickets Plus does not support custom pricing based on the logged in status of a user, there is a way to do this if you are using WooCommerce as the ecommerce plugin. There is a plugin called Dynamic Pricing and Discounts which allows you to configure a discount for logged in users for all WooCommerce products, including Tickets.

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

Cheers!

Hey again, Hélène!

Oh, this is a tricky one because free transactions are automatically processed by both Event Tickets Plus and the ecommerce plugin it’s being used with.

One idea might be to try using WooCommerce with the plugin because it has settings that allow you to set the status of a transaction before it gets completed. That would allow you to set the status of any transaction to Pending before it gets completed, notify you as the administrator, then mark the transaction Complete before sending the ticket out to customers.

WooCommerce also has an extension called WooCommerce Order Status Manager that allows you to customize your order statuses even further, should you need it.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hello Hélène!

Great question. Event Tickets Plus will not automatically email the site administrator when a ticket is purchased. However, the ecommerce plugin you are using with it (e.g. WooCommerce) does have settings that allow you to be notified whenever a new purchase is made. That will allow you to know exactly when a new order comes in.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Leona, thanks for reaching out!

Yes, Events Calendar PRO does have a number of additional widgets available, including a countdown widget that allows you to feature an event in the sidebar of a page. Here’s a much more detailed overview of how it looks and works.

If the countdown part of it is not really what you’re looking for, then the Event List widget might do the trick. It allows you to filter events by a specific category. So, let say you have an event category called “Featured” — that would allow you to show upcoming events just in that category.

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

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey Al,

Great question! I’m afraid that the calendar does not currently support automatic email notifications before an event. However, Event Tickets does allow you to collect the names and email addresses of people planning to attend your event, which can be exported and used to email them. You may also want to consider the use of a notification scheduling plugin, like Mail Poet to help schedule those communications.

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

Cheers!

Hey Dwayne,

Great question!

The Events Calendar on its own is a great tool for displaying events. If you purchase Events Calendar PRO, then that will allow you to create pages for venues, which will also show a list of upcoming events for those venues.

Here’s a lot more information on how those pages work, but they are created for you each time a new venue is created and the events will display on the venue page automatically when assigned to that venue.

Does that sounds like what you’re looking for? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi @byteplate, so sorry for the trouble here with recurring events!

We published version 4.2.2.1 of Events Calendar PRO about a half hours ago and it includes a fix for these issues.

Please try updating to this version of Events Calendar PRO (while making sure that your version of The Events Calendar is up-to-date at version 4.2.2, as well).

This should prevent the problem from happening again. If you have many instances of recurring events that you want to delete, I’d recommend searching for a free “bulk deletion” plugin on WordPress.org. There are many options—choose one that looks right to you, and it should help with the process of deleting many events at a time.

Let us know if the update helps!

Thank you,
Geoff

Hey there!

What a great question. I’m afraid that importing events by geolocation isn’t a support feature in Facebook Events, but I thought I would at least share a screenshot of the plugin’s import settings to give you a good idea of what options are available.

In general, the plugin allows you to specify a public Facebook page and determine whether you would like to import events automatically on a scheduled basis, or manually one at a time.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know and thanks so much for reaching out.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi Kevin and thanks for reaching out!

I’m afraid that ACF and additional fields do not integrate perfectly with one another in the sense that they would not be displayed next to each other in the content publishing sections or store the data in the same places of the site database.

However, ACF does indeed integrate pretty nicely with The Events Calendar and you can certainly add custom fields–including repeater fields–to the editing screen. From there, you would only need to customize the calendar’s event template (single-event.php) to display those fields where you would like them. We have more on customizing template here in our Themer’s Guide.

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

Cheers!

Hi Andrea, and hope you had a great weekend!

I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but do please keep us posted if anything else like this pops back up and we’d be more than happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Shoot, so sorry to hear the CSS did not remove the grey bar! Seems to do the trick on my test site, but you can try this as well:

#tribe-events-bar .tribe-bar-filters {
padding: 0 !important;
}

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Thanks Paul!

Not sure if it will help at all, but you could try this as well:

.tribe-events-calendar thead th {
background: orange !important;
}
