Hi Tara,

The feed follows the same URL format on your site. For example:

Hi Tara,

The RSS feed for a specific category follows this pattern:

[your-site]/events/category/[category-slug]/feed

Here is an example of a category feed:

http://wpshindig.com/events/category/tech-events/feed/

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

Cheers!

Hi Alison,

Great questions and thanks for reaching out to ask them–I’m stoked to hear you’re considering the plugins and I hope they’re a good fit. 🙂

1) Is there a way to not require the location, or have the event submitter choose from a location list the location of “on-line” or something like that? Do I need to use Event Calendar Pro for that functionality?

Location does not have to be a required field. In fact, we have a nice article on how to set specific fields to be required in the Community Events form.

If you wanted to, you could grab Events Calendar PRO as well and use the “Default Content” settings to specify a default venue in the form. Or, another option would be to hide the venue stuff from the Community Events form altogether with CSS.

2) Does this event calendar system work with any WordPress Theme?

The Events Calendar and all its add-ons are tested against default WordPress themes (such as Twenty Sixteen). That said, there are so many themes out there that it makes it impossible for us to guarantee smooth integration with all of them. For that reason, we have a full refund policy on all purchases made within 30 days to give you a chance to test-drive everything and make sure it will cooperate with your environment. I often find that is the best way to test things out anyway. 🙂

I believe that they will be able to use the same username and password to access the events submission form and the post submission form. Can you confirm?

That is correct. Community Events uses the same login form as WordPress itself, so it will work for anyone who is a registered user on your site.

Furthermore, I assume that the dashboards for event submission and post submission will be separate and 2 different workflows. Can you confirm that?

Yes, there is a front-end dashboard for sign-in users to see the events they have submitted and it includes a status of their events–whether they have been published or not. Events and Posts are two different post types in WordPress and will have their own workflows.

If so, do you think someone would be able to do some custom work to enable the event and post submission workflow to happen from one dashboard?

It’s possible, but I imagine it would be some pretty heavy lifting. That said, we do have a list of freelancers available we would be happy to refer you for that level of work.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Claudia and thanks for giving Event Tickets a try!

There is unfortunately no setting to change that, but you could use CSS in your theme’s style.css file or using a plugin like Simple Customer CSS to hide the price:

.tribe-events-event-cost {
display: none;
}

If you’re looking for more technical support on this, please do hit us with a thread in our Event Tickets support forum or–if you have a premium license–log into this site and post a question to the Event Tickets Plus forum.

Cheers!

Hey John,

The “basic” product–The Events Calendar–is completely free, so there would be no charge there.

I do see there are two recent purchases in your account: one for a renewal of your Events Calendar PRO personal license, and another for a second purchase of an Events Calendar PRO personal license.

Was the second purchase a mistake? Let me know and I’d be happy to refund it for you.

Thanks!
Geoff

Awesome! Sorry for the initial trouble but I’m glad to hear everything was sorted out–thanks for reaching out and following up to let us know. 🙂

Oh weird! Do you think that there could be something funky with the global site settings that could be interfering?

If you’re able to create export your database and send it to me here via Dropbox link as a private reply, I’d be happy to try it out on my test site to see if I can replicate the issue from there.

I can’t make any promises just because of how rapidly things change, but we’re hoping to release 4.1 in the next 6-8 weeks. Definitely keep an eye on our blog and sign our for our newsletter, if you haven’t already, because we give early heads up there when releases are close to release. 🙂

Howdy Daniel,

Tickets are considered “virtual” products in WooCommerce. That means you could consider auto-completed any virtual product purchases a la:

Hi Abby,

Thanks do much for reaching out and welcome to the forums!

Is there a way for me to modify the filter bar to just clearly show my categories?

I totally hear you. It would be nice to be able to show your two categories instead of having to expand the Filter Bar to reveal them. As you point out, though, Filter Bar does not support that right out of the box.

I’ve tried a custom menu instead of the filter bar, but am unable to add this menu to the automatically generated events page.

One way to do this would be to customize the calendar template to include the custom menu. You can do this by making a copy of the default-template.php file, which is located in /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/default-template.php. Then…

• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Drop the copied default-template.php file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme, it can be modified to suit your needs. In this case, add the code for the new menu where you would like it to appear in the template.

I also want to note that each category has a page of it’s own, and you can link to the events in those categories directly using that URL. For example, here is the direct link to your “theatre” category:

http://mail.tssolutions.com.au/test/fortyfivedownstairs/events/category/theatre/

Does this help? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Sunil,

Thanks for getting in touch and great question.

We do provide installation support right here in the forums and that comes included with the price of a license. In other words, we can advise you to get from version 3 to version 4 and, if something is not working once the update is made, help troubleshoot what is causing it.

What we cannot support here is the custom work. It sounds like you have a number of custom styles and snippets and my bet is that they would either break in version 4 or cause the plugin from functioning. For that reason, I would suggest installing version 4 on a test site without the customization in place, then work with a freelance developer to help bring the customizations into the new version. We do have a list of freelancers we’re happy to refer you to for that level of help.
Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Lorena and thanks for reaching out! Welcome to the forums. 🙂

While there isn’t a setting to add a “Buy Now” button next to the ticket price, you could make one and add it to the event template. While we are limited in how much we can support customization questions like this, I’d be happy to at least help point you in the right direction, if I can.

First, off you need to create a copy of the single-event.php template, which is located in the /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/single-event.php.

• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Drop your copied single-event.php file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme, you can customize it to suit your needs. In this case, find this code:

<span class="tribe-events-divider">|</span>
<span class="tribe-events-cost"><?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ) ?></span>

…and change it to:

span class="tribe-events-divider">|</span>
<span class="tribe-events-cost"><?php echo tribe_get_cost( null, true ) ?></span>
<span class="tribe-events-divider">|</span>
<span class="tribe-events-cost"><a href="#buy">Buy Now</a></span>

Then, you do the same thing for the tickets.php file. It’s located in /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/eddtickets/tickets.php.

• Make a new folder in the tribe-events folder your create in your theme and call it eddtickets
• Drop the copied version of tickets.php into that folder

Change this line:

<h2 class="tribe-events-tickets-title"><?php esc_html_e( 'Tickets', 'event-tickets-plus' );?></h2>

…to this:

<h2 id="buy" class="tribe-events-tickets-title"><?php esc_html_e( 'Tickets', 'event-tickets-plus' );?></h2>

That should get you a Buy Now link that links to the ticket form. 🙂

I also want to make the $cost a little bigger.

You can do this with some CSS. Add this to your theme’s style.css file or by using a plugin like Simple Custom CSS:

.single-tribe_events .tribe-events-schedule span {
font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

Cheers!
Geoff
