Heck yeah, that’s awesome Lukas! Thanks a ton for sharing that–hopefully that won’t be needed once the next release comes out but I’m super stoked to know there is a solid workaround for it in the meantime. 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread since it seems we’re in a good place, but I’ll be sure to follow-up when the new release comes out.

Cheers!

Hi Brendan,

Awesome, I’m glad that helps and works!

If you’re going to create a list of categories and customize it from there, I would suggest using a more advanced query for event categories using WordPress functions. Event categories are registered as a custom taxonomy, so they can be called using the get_the_terms() function and that can be used to create a custom output for the event categories, including icons for each one.

We are fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this, but hopefully the link above and the examples in there will be a solid blueprint to get you started in that direction. Let me know!

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi Terry, and thanks for the extra info!

Everything appears to be running smoothly on the back end this morning. The longest page load in the admin took 4.06 seconds but most were consistently under that mark. I’d say that is just as speedy and perhaps speedier than the backend of other WordPress sites I generally see.

But let’s continue to dig into this. Were you able to look into this question I asked:

Do you have any other plugins installed and activated and can you try deactivating them (while keeping the calendar plugins activated, of course)? Additionally switch to a default, unmodified theme, like Twenty Sixteen. Does that improve things at all?

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Oliver,

Thanks for the additional information. Will you please uninstall WooCommerce Tickets and replace it with Event Tickets Plus? We retired WooCommerce Tickets when releasing The Events Calendar 4.0 and provided a free download of Event Tickets Plus for current WooCommerce Tickets owners in their accounts. You can grab that by logging into this site and heading to My Accounts > Downloads.

Here is a detailed overview of the steps for moving from WooCommerce Tickets to Event Tickets Plus. Please follow the steps outlined here and let me know if you see the ticket settings on events.

Thanks,
Geoff

Howdy, I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer. I’ll go ahead and close this thread but please do feel free to open another one if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. In the meantime, stay tuned for this feature to make its way into an upcoming release. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Lukas (and Jan),

This is indeed an issue and we have a fix for it slated in our next release, which we expect to ship the middle of next week, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

I’ve marked this thread and will follow-up with you when that’s available.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi Mike,

Are you looking in your WordPress settings or in The Event Calendar’s settings? It should be in your general WordPress settings (Settings > General) rather than the calendar settings themselves.

By the way, I’ll go ahead and move this thread to our PRO support forum. We use the pre-sales forum for non-technical support questions about purchasing the premium plugins and the PRO support forum for paid support members.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hello Anders,

Good question. There is indeed a way to specify which inputs are required in Community Events. In fact, we have a handy tutorial on this and I’d suggest checking it out for step-by-step instructions for how that works.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Heck yeah, thanks for the tip @eastlife! I’m always stoked to see people helping other people in these forums and certainly appreciate you adding to the mix here. 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but do feel free to hit us back up for anything else and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers!

And, of course, please feel free to let u know if you have any other questions in the meantime and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Hey Terry,

I wasn’t able to log in with that username/password combo — will you please check it out and let me know if those are the correct credentials?

The screenshots do help us get started though.

Those queries are not doing anything special there –- it’s really just a standard WordPress check for updates – so I’m unsure why it would be dragging so much in terms of performance.

Do you have any other plugins installed and activated and can you try deactivating them (while keeping the calendar plugins activated, of course)? Additionally switch to a default, unmodified theme, like Twenty Sixteen. Does that improve things at all?

I’d also be interested to know if you have a comparable number of posts and events, and if the admin lists for those post types is equally slow. Do you happen to know offhand?

Thanks!
Geoff

Oh sorry, I took your question as wanting to affect the front end of the site–my apologies!

 

I’m afraid there is no way to do that right out of the box without some custom development. You could actually still use the snippet I gave you as a starting point, however, changing it so that it is looking at the admin rather than the front end:

function tribe_reverse_chronological ($post_object) {
$past_ajax = (defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX && $_REQUEST['tribe_event_display'] === 'past') ? true : false;
if(is_admin() ) {
$post_object = array_reverse($post_object);
}
return $post_object;
}
add_filter('the_posts', 'tribe_reverse_chronological', 100);

That will order events by start date from first to last (ascending order) but will need to be updated so that it starts at the current date rather than the beginning of time.

Sorry I don’t have a more concrete solution for you here, but I do hope this at least helps get you started! And, of course, if you have any specific questions along the way, I’d be happy to keep this thread open and help as best I can.

Thanks,
Geoff

Sure thing! My apologies for being so vague in my last reply–I was making way too many assumptions and can clarify more here.

You’re editing the correct file (list/single-event.php) so that’s good to go.

From there, you can add this anywhere in the template where you would like the categories to be listed:

<?php echo tribe_get_event_categories(); ?>

That will display a bulletpoint list of the categories an event has. For example, I tested it and pasted that snippet as Line 50 in the template and that added the categories right below the event’s date information.

Let me know if this helps or if there’s anything else I can do to help clarify things and I’d be happy to.

Cheers!
Geoff

@kelligirl — that looks like a really solid way to go about it! thanks so much for sharing that with us. 🙂

Piccia, let us know if that suggestion helps get things back on track. Cliff is also in the loop here and would be happy to help guide you in that direction if you need some assistance.

Cheers,
Geoff
