Phew! I was worried that List View was busted there for a second–thanks for confirming!

Honestly, we have made no strides on our end to resolve any existing incompatibly issues with Download Manager. If the two happen to work together in the latest versions, it would be happy coincidence, but we haven’t intentionally addressed anything.

You’re still running The Events Calendar 3.12.3 and now have The Events Calendar PRO 3.12.2 in there, right? Make sure The Events Calendar is installed and activated to prevent those notices.

[Geoff]

BTW, thanks for hanging in here with me. 🙂

Hi Jay,

Man, thanks SO much for bringing this up!

The good news is that there is no malware. You are totally fine.

The bad news is that it looks like we errantly included some of the files we use in development in the final release and need to remove them and repackage the plugin.

In the meantime, will you please revert back to 3.12.2? You can snag a copy of that here on this site by logging int and heading to My Account > Downloads.

I’m so sorry for the trouble here but am thankful you brought it up early so we can fix it ASAP.

Hi Susan,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the disappointment here!

Could you elaborate a little more on the changes to the List View appearance. That is indeed our longest-running view layout and we haven’t updated it in quite some time. Are you updating from version 2.0 or something newer?

Can you send me an archived version?

Absolutely. You can get past versions of The Events Calendar here on WordPress.org and past versions of your premium purchases by logging into this very site and heading to My Account > Downloads.

I saw on an older thread that an older version of TEC may have worked well with Download Manager? Is this the case?

Admittedly, I haven’t Download Manager with The Events Calendar. I can say that we did not design The Events Calendar specifically to work with it, but it’s very possible that either the latest version or a past one will work just fine.

Cheers!

Ugh, so sorry about that! I know that the date filters could be more flexible and I’ll continue thinking about possible workarounds. In the meantime, let’s keep this thread open in case any inspiration strikes. 🙂

[Geoff]

My pleasure man! Please do feel free to hit us back up if you notice something strange. We take performance seriously and always interested in seeing use cases that challenge us to make things even better.

[Geoff]

Awesome, thanks for checking and confirming that with me!

Does the issue continue if you temporarily remove those modifications?

I’m still looking at this from my end and will likely have more to share tomorrow. I’m working with others on the team to make sure we cover it thoroughly, so just wanted to keep you in the loop. 🙂

Hello Cynthia–nice to see you again and hope all is well. 🙂

Quick question: have you tried uncommenting the first portion of that snippet you shared?

In other words, that snippet would look like this:

<?php
//
// *************************************
// Events Calendar fix
// Sort Events posts by creation date rather than start date
// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘tribe_post_date_ordering’, 51 );
function tribe_post_date_ordering( $query ) {
if ( $query->tribe_is_multi_posttype) {
remove_filter( ‘posts_fields’, array( ‘Tribe__Events__Query’, ‘multi_type_posts_fields’ ) ); $query->set( //’order’, ‘DESC’ );
}
}
add_action( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘custom_teardown_tribe_order_filter’, 60 );
function custom_teardown_tribe_order_filter() {
if ( is_feed() ) remove_filter( ‘posts_orderby’, array( ‘Tribe__Events__Query’, ‘posts_orderby’ ), 10, 2 );
}
?>

Let’s start there and see if that does the trick. 🙂

Thanks!
Geoff

Hey Mark, and thanks for reaching out! I’m totally willing to help you out here with as honest an answer as I can.

The truth is that there’s always  concern when we’re talking about thousands of posts, not just for The Events Calendar, but any WordPress post type in general.

On our side of things though–and where it comes to events–we have a good number of customers running sites with events that range in the thousands with no performance issues whatsoever.

That isn’t to say we haven’t seen trouble in the past. For example, we noticed a huge lag in performance in our Month View when we released 3.11 and subsequently put a lot of work into fixing that in 3.11. Things seem to be running smoothly since that release as far as performance.

The times I see performance come up lately is when thousands of events are being used on a shared server. So, if you’re looking at a site with a ton of data and requires a lot of resources, I’d recommend going with a dedicated hosting plan to ensure you avoid bottlenecks.

Does this help answer your questions? Let me know if you have any others or if I can clarify on anything here and I’d be happy to. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi @Lamourah,

Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums–I’m stoked you upgraded to PRO. 🙂

The widget shortcodes are the only way to embed events to a page or post at the moment. There is a free add-on (not supported by us here) called Event Rocket that does have a shortcode for embedding the full calendar view and I believe has category filters included. Definitely worth checking out.

Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

Thanks Allison! I’m looking into this now.

Just to confirm, do you have a tribe-events folder in either your parent theme directory or child theme directory? Or any calendar functions in your functions.php file(s)? Want to make sure i’m not missing anything obvious as I check this out.

I have heard of some people being able to integrate Gravity Forms into Community Events. Honestly, however, I haven’t personally confirmed how well that works and whether the file upload field was part of it.

You might want to try it out with Advanced Custom Fields instead. I know it supports custom post types (which is what Events posts are), so it would just be a matter of ensuring those added fields made it to the Community Events submission form.

I will add that we do have a full refund policy for all products within 30-days of purchase. That would give you a chance to test those ideas out–and, of course, we’d be happy to take it back if it doesn’t pan out for some reason. 🙂

Ooo, good question!

There is no option to upload a file with an event at the moment. However, if you did have PRO and set up a custom field for one, then you could ask for a URL to that PDF flyer in the submission form. Not the same as uploading a file, but it would certainly make it possible to link an event to a file.

Hi Allison, and sorry for the continued issue here! I read through your thread here as well as the one you had opened with Brook earlier. What a tangle!

I would definitely be interested in seeing the thread you opened with the theme developer. Would you share that with me here so I can get that extra bit of context?

In the meantime, it would also be handy for you to head to Events > Settings > Help from the WordPress dashboard, copy your system information at the bottom of the screen and paste it here as a private reply. I want to use that as a way of replicating your system as much as possible on my own setup so I can troubleshoot from there. I do see you had provided it in the last thread, but just asking for it again in case any settings have changed since then. 🙂

Thanks!
Geoff
