Cool, I’m glad your client is happy! Thanks for following up and marking the thread Resolved. 🙂

Oh shoot, you’ll have to forgive me–iCal Importer will indeed pull up any and all events it find in an iCal feed, regardless of category. I was looking at the Category option on import and had mistaken that as a filter for incoming events rather than events that had already been imported and awaiting to be published. Sorry about that!

The closest way to import based on a specific category would be to filter the feed based on a keyword. I know that’s not what you’re looking for but I’m afraid that’s it at the moment.

iCal Importer is the newest member of The Events Calendar family, so we’re definitely in ideas on how to make it better and I think category filters would be pretty sweet. If you have a moment, will you add that to our feature request forum? I can see others finding that useful as well and it would be great to have it on the radar.

Sorry again and thanks!

Hello Sara!

Good question and the answer is…kinda. 🙂

The Events Calendar actually comes with a date search by default without needing to purchase Filter Bar. You can search for events that start from a certain date (screenshot). However, that does not give visitors the ability to put a cap on where the results should stop. Hence, the “kinda” answer.

Filter Bar does add some additional filters, but still none that add a date cap. The filters it does add are Days and Time. Days allows visitors to filter events based on a specific day of the week (i.e. Monday, Tuesday, etc.) and Time allows events to be filtered by a period within the day (i.e. Morning, Afternoon, Evening, etc.).

Does this help clarify things a bit? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Absolutely! That would look like this:

<?php echo tribe_get_city() . ‘, ‘ . tribe_get_state() . ‘, ‘ . tribe_get_region(); ?>

That should do it, but let me know if it doesn’t–I admittedly have not tested it. 🙂

Hey @ideasandbox,

Nice to see you again (as always!), but super sorry for the trouble here with importing recurring events.

So, here’s the thing about the Recurring label on the CSV Importer: it importers the fact that an event ought to be labeled as a recurring event but does not import the recurrence itself. In other words, that is importing a field label rather than any settings for the recurrence.

Here’s an article that covers all the fields that import with the CSV Importer. Note that none of them cover recurrence settings.

Are you importing from another instance of The Events Calendar? If so, I think using the WordPress export tool (Tools > Export) to create an XML file of your events would be a better route since that collects all post and meta information.

If not, then I think the best route to go is to delete the events you’ve imported, do a fresh import with the CSV Importer, and manually add the recurrence rules for the events that are indeed recurring.

Sorry for the headache and confusion here, but does this at least help? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

No worries at all! It actually looks pretty easy to miss. 🙂

Cheers and thanks again for reaching out–feel free to hit us back up if any other questions pop up.

Ah, shoot–sorry for the wrong screenshot. I pasted the wrong link in there, so sorry for the confusion!

We can also try dequeuing the plugin’s version of the script altogether. You can add a snippet like this to your theme’s functions.php file to do that:

function dequeue_tribe_events_scripts() {
wp_dequeue_script( 'tribe-events-pro-geoloc' );
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'dequeue_tribe_events_scripts', 100 );

That deactivates the Google Maps scripts included in both The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar PRO.

For reference, here is a nice list of all the calendar scripts and their corresponding handles.

Does that help clear out the console error? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Geoff

My pleasure! Thanks again for reaching out. 🙂

Hi Bo,

Ah, I see what’s happening here! That Facebook page is public but there are no upcoming events on the page. In fact, I see the last event took place in 2014.

The Facebook Events importer looks specifically for new, upcoming events. However, if you want to import past events, you can still do that by entering the in event IDs for them in the Events > Import: Facebook screen.

Cheers!

Hello Kevin and welcome to the forums!

I’m afraid there are no settings that will allow you to set the calendar as your homepage right out of the box.

The good news though is that there is a free add-on called Event Rocket which does indeed provide that functionality. Please give that a try and see if that does the trick for you. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey Bo and sorry for the trouble here!

Quick question: is the Facebook page and the events on it public or private? Just checking because the plugin is only able to import public events from public pages.

If the page and its events are public, will you please provide me the link so I can test it myself?

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Nikolaus,

The slider looks like it’s part of your theme or another plugin so, first off, you will want to find the method that is used to call it into a template.

Once you have that, I am happy to help guide you to add it to your calendar templates.

The Procedure

• Make a copy of the default-template.php file. It is located at /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/default-template.php
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Place your copied default-template.php file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme, you can modify it so suit your needs. In this case, place the method for calling the slider in the template where you would like it to appear.

You can find more information on calendar template overrides here in our Themer’s Guide.

Cheers!

Hello Julia,

Yes, WooCommerce Tickets runs right alongside WooCommerce. In other words, you are able to display tickets for your events in both the Event post and the WooCommerce product catalog and sell them in both places.

Does this help clarify things a bit? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Rebecca!

Thanks so much for getting in touch–I really hope The Events Calendar fits the bill for what you’re looking for.

Our system follows that exact process. In fact, all you need is The Events Calendar (which is free) and our WooCommerce Tickets add-on–well, and WooCommerce of course. 🙂

The Events Calendar set s up the calendar where your visitors can see events on certain dates. WooCommerce Tickets allows you to create tickets for those events, display them for each event, then sell them directly through WooCommerce. From there, you can download a spreadsheet of registered attendees to see who is coming and use that to check people in at the door.

Our WooCommerce Tickets new user primer is a good place to start because describes how to set the plugin up and includes links to other helpful resources on the plugin’s features.

I’ll also put out there that we have a full refund policy on all purchases within 30 days of purchase. That would give you some time to test drive the plugins and see if they’re the right fit for your site.

Does this help? Please let me know if you have any other questions here and I’d be happy to help as best I can. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
