Hey Ryan,

Good question. Right now, the full calendar itself can only be displayed on the /events page (unless you were to change the slug, of course).

However, you could use the Mini Calendar Widget shortcode and add that to your post category archive template to display it above the loop of category posts.

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

Cheers!

Hi Benjamin,

Sorry for the trouble here!

Will you please paste your system information here as a private reply? That would help a ton so I can see if there is something causing that notice to trigger.

You can find the system information on the Events > Settings > Help screen at the bottom.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hey there, Cutxin!

Thanks for getting in touch and sorry for the trouble–let’s see if we can figure it out here together. 🙂

Do you happen to have a link to where I can see the issue? Also, if you could paste your system information here as a private reply, the would be awesome. You can find the system information in Events > Settings > Help at the bottom of the screen.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hey Robert, and thanks for reaching out!

Yes, you would need the Eventbrite Tickets add-on in order to import events from Eventbrite.com to WordPress and vice versa, even for free events in Eventbrite.

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

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey there, Wendy!

Yes, that is possible! In fact, you could do it for both organizers and venues. Here’s an example of how it would work for organizers:

$args = array( 'post_type' => 'tribe_venue', 'posts_per_page' => 3 );
$lastposts = get_posts( $args );
foreach ( $lastposts as $post ) :
setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( null, 'full' ) ?>
<?php echo ttribe_get_organizer_phone() ?>
<?php endforeach;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>

You could do a similar thing for venues.You can add additional details to the loop (such as address, phone number, address, etc.) and can find those in our documentation.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Hello @wendy,

Yeah, that certainly would be possible. I must warn though that it would take a fair amount of custom development to accomplish.

I imagine you would you could start off by customizing the list/single-event.php template using a template override (more on this in our Themer’s Guide).  You could wrap the content portion of the template inside the pop-over tool of your choice, then save the template.

I’m afraid we’re fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this, but I do hope this at least helps point you in the right direction!

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey there, @Adage.

You are able to set the start time for any event when creating an event in WordPress. So, when you go to Events > Add New, there will be date options (screenshot) where you can set the start and end date for that event.

Those are the only time and date settings that are available for events. If you’re looking for a way to add additional times to an event, I’m afraid that isn;t possible at the moment.

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

Cheers!

Hey Lisa–nice to see you again!

Yes, 4.0 briefly (and erroneously) introduced formatting in the event excerpts. That was fixed in 4.0.1.

If you would still like to have formatting in the excerpts, you can use this snippet and that should return any HTML formatting contained in the excerpt:

Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Hi @Adage,

I personally have not used LocoTranslate but do know that we have not made an intentional effort to be fully compatible with it. We have integrated The Events Calendar with WPML and that is the only translation plugin we can speak for at the moment.

That said, it is possible that The Events Calendar and LocoTranslate are compatible–we just haven’t tested it. I would suggest testing them out together on a test site to see how they work together with the latest versions. That is the best way to ensure nothing is lost when you update.

Cheers,
Geoff

Sure thing and best of luck!

Hello @Adage,

Good question. You can activate Map View by heading to Events > Settings > Display in the WordPress admin. Check the setting for Map View (screenshot), save your settings, then you will be able to switch to that view when viewing the calendar on your site.

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

Cheers!

Hey there, Hans,

Thanks for following up. And excellent details, by the way! I really appreciate the detailed steps you outlined in your last reply. That helps a ton. 🙂

SO, in short: The manual excerpts worked perfectly fine in the 4.00 version. Including lay-out, color, bold text, &nbsp space between lines of text…

Yes, what you describe was a bug in 4.0. In other words, 4.o displayed the entire event content rather than the excerpt. That means formatting was passed in as well.

4.0.1 cleaned that up but also returned excerpts to how they were even back The Events Calendar 3.x which is with no formatting.

If you would like HTML formatting in the event excerpt, you could add this snippet to your functions.php file:

https://gist.github.com/ggwicz/ba85b0f9aa4dadbda538

Let me know if that helps do the trick. 🙂

Thanks!
Geoff

Sure thing–and thanks again for bringing this up!

Hi Tommy,

Thanks for following up.

I’m afraid Cliff is out most of this week. However, I can assure you the answer I am giving you here is the same place he would land on here as well. 🙂

Here is a screenshot of the code for the text in the Countdown Widget. The text is set to be centered. If the text is not centered on your site, then it is likely because it is being overridden by your theme.

You are certainly welcome to update the styles of the Countdown Widget using the resources outlined in our Themer’s Guide. Anything beyond that, however, I am afraid would need custom development which is outside the level of support we can provide here in the forums.

Thanks,
Geoff

Hello @liblogger,

Thanks for following up with the additional information–that helps a lot!

I was able to replicate the same issue on my test site. We don’t have a solution at the moment, but I have opened a ticket for our development to team to look into this further. I’ll mark this thread as Pending Fix in the meantime. I won’t have a timeframe for when we can patch this, but I will be sure to follow-up with you when I know more.

Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the heads up so we can figure it out!

Geoff
