Hello  @ckas and thanks for following up!

The “Custom Field” options you have there are definitely custom in the sense that they are not included with The Events Calendar or Events Calendar PRO right out of the box. Is it possible someone else has worked on your site? For example, was the theme built from scratch or was it originally purchased and customized from there?

For example, index.php is a part of the theme rather than the plugin, so that leads me to believe the customization stems from there.

Sorry, not trying to push the buck onto someone else–it’s just tough for us to troubleshoot code that we’re unfamiliar with.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

I found the URL by visiting the site you provided. clicking on the “Subscribe by Filtered Calendar” button and selecting the “Add to Apple Calendar” option. That provided me the link I needed and assume it would be similar for the other sites you provided as well.

The main idea is that you need a URL that points to an iCal link–each site may provide that a little differently, but they have to have a link to an iCal/ics file in order for it to work. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Joel,

Thanks for the extra info! I wonder if you could use a normal post query and filter it with a snippet instead. For example:

https://gist.github.com/geoffgraham/b3e17ea1bb2a6464b119

You can change the conditions and the variables, but the general idea is the same: filter the query from functions.php rather than the template itself.

Let’s give that a try instead and see if it helps. 🙂

[Geoff]

Sure thing! Please do keep me posted and I’d be happy to keep troubleshooting with you if the problem keeps up.

Hi Joe, just wanted to chime in to let you know that Nico is still in midst of looking into this. thanks for the update and please do let us know how the continued testing goes as we keep digging in.

Hi Edwin,

Shoot, sorry for the trouble!

The widget dates are something we found to be an issue with several other customers. The good news is that we released a patch for it just the other day. Have you installed The Events Calendar 3.12.5 and Events Calendar PRO 3.12.6? Those two should clear the issue, but please do let me know if that is not the case.

Also, it could just be that some time has past since you created this thread, but it looks like the dates are currently correct (screenshot). Hopefully you were able to resolve it, but let’s at least make sure we’re using the most current versions and go from there. 🙂

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Alex, thanks for reaching out!

That sounds like a very cool idea, though I’m afraid it wouldn’t be a supported feature right out of the box. I’m sure it could be done with some custom development, but I’d have to point you to our documentation and Themer’s Guide for more information.

Sorry for the bummer news, but does it at least help answer your question? Please let me know.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Jose and thanks for getting in touch!

Good question. It would be possible to do that, but it’s a bit of a hack, admittedly.

For example, you could use our iCal Importer add-on to run a scheduled imports for those different sites, auto-categorize them, then set the Events Calendar PRO widget settings to display just those categorized events. You can have as many widgets on a page as you’d like, so you can embed as few or as many calendars as you’d like with the events from those sites.

Like I said, probably not exactly what you’re looking for, but it would be one way of doing it. 🙂

Let me know if you have any other questions and I’d be happy to help as best I can!

Cheers!

Hi John,

Ooo, interesting question! That a good idea and admittedly one that is not supported in Community Events. If you can get that to work with another third-party plugin, that would be great, though I am not aware of one that would do the trick and we unfortunately cannot guarantee the calendar will integrate with other third-party plugins.

It would be awesome to know a little more about how that sort of feature would work. If you have a moment, please do add this to our feature request forum and let us know how that functionality and/or shortcode might work. I wonder if others would find that useful as well and, if so, that would help us look into it on our end.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you, but does this at least help answer your question? Please let me know.

Hey there, and sorry for the trouble! That doesn’t sound good at all!

Will you please do me a favor and head to Events > Settings > Help, scroll to the bottom of the page and paste the system information here as a private reply? I’d like to see if the system information also recognizes the plugin as 3.11.

It looks as though you have The Events Calendar 3.12.5 and Events Calendar PRO 3.12.6 installed from what I can tell, but the system information will allow me to dig a little deeper.

Thanks!

Hi Chris,

Sorry for the trouble here! I’m happy to help as best I can. 🙂

The fact that the footer does not display on the Video posts as well makes me think this is a theme issue rather than something that is isolated to The Events Calendar.

However, one idea might be to try heading to Events > Settings > Display and changing the default event template to one of the theme’s page templates to see if that makes a difference. Let me know if it does.

Also, does the same issue pop up when you use a default WordPress theme, like TwentyFifteen? That would be another way to tell if this is a theme conflict.

Let’s start here and see what we find. Thanks!

Hey Joel,

Thanks for reaching out! Also, thanks for being up front about the free license and the fact that this is a support question for a non-profit.

I’m happy to help as best I can, or at least point you in the right direction. In this case, I would suggest using a custom query with WP_Query instead. Here’s an example of how to query a custom post type–which is tribe-events for The Events Calendar. From there, you could use the order and orderby parameters to target the post date to show in descending order.

Will that help you get started? Nice work using tribe_get_events — it just might not be flexible enough to do exactly what you’d like. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi @dgpixel,

Nice to see you again and hope all is well!

This CSS should do the trick:

.tribe-events-list-separator-month span,
#tribe-bar-form,
.tribe-bar-views-inner {
background-color: #272b31
}

That may not get you exactly the color scheme you’re going for, but should at least give you an example to work with and modify from there.Please do check out this article for more information on targeting CSS classes in the calendar, which is also super helpful.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi @davisstreker,

I’ve been trying to recreate the issue on my own test site and haven’t been able to so far. Will you please try a couple of things for me?

• Head over to Events > Settings > Help, scroll to the bottom of the screen and paste the system information in here as a private reply
• Confirm that you’ve followed the steps outlined here

That second item is particularly important. If you still see the issue in a default state of WordPress (i.e. Twenty Fifteen theme and all plugins except Modern Tribe’s deactivated), then I want to see that so I have something to troubleshoot. It’s totally fine to do this test on a development server if you prefer, so it doesn’t affect the live site. In fact, that’s a great way to go.

The other possibilities I’m weighing are:

• Mismatched versions of the plugins
• Possible corrupted files in the version being installed
• Theme or plugin conflicts

Let’s start with the two action points mentioned earlier and go from there.

Thanks!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hey, good news! The Events Calendar 3.12.5 just released moments ago and includes a patch for this issue. Thanks so much for reporting this and for your patience while we worked on a solution. Feel free to hit us up with a new thread if you continue to see an issue or run into any others and we’d be happy to help. 🙂
