Hello Myrna–nice to see you again. 🙂

The best way to go about this is to customize the template for single events. This is outlined in our Themer’s Guide (which I highly recommend reading), but basically boils down to this:

• Make a copy of the single-event.php template. It’s located at /plugins/the-eventts-calendar/views/single-event.php.
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Drop the copied single-event.php file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme, you can modify it to suit your needs. In this case, move the event meta content right after the featured image. You may need to spend a little time finessing the layout with CSS but that should at least help you get the order you are looking for. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Ah, gotcha–thanks for clarifying and really nice work! I’m so glad this worked out and appreciate you sharing the solution here with us. 🙂

Each category page has its own body class, so you technically could target your CSS to a specific page like so:

.events-category-concert li.tribe-events-category-concert {
display: none;
}

…and that could go directly in your theme’s (or, better yet, child theme’s) style.css file

However, the cleanest way to go about it is pretty either with Javascript or PHP. We have a list of conditional PHP wrappers that can help you target specific calendar views, such as a specific category (or taxonomy).

Cheers!

Good questions. Yes, visitors to the site can either be logged in WP users or anonymous visitors and Community Events lets you set the restrictions there.

And, yes, The Events Calendar is completely free and available on WordPress.org.

Cheers!

Hi Greg and thanks for reaching out!

Good questions, for sure. Community Events is exactly what you’re looking for as far as allowing visitors to submit events to your calendar. And the good news: it doesn’t need PRO to work, In other words, you can use it directly with the free version of The Events Calendar.

I really wish there was a way to charge for submitting events, but that’s unfortunately not a feature right now.

We do offer shortcodes for embedding the calendar widgets into a page or post, though no shortcodes specifically for the full calendar view.

If you’re a non-profit, please check check out and submit this application! If you qualify, you could get all the plugins for free. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Tommy and thanks for getting in touch!

While pushing posts to social media isn’t something The Events Calendar supports right out of the box, there are a number of plugins that you might consider that will do it for you. For example, this one might just do the trick because it looks like it supports custom post types, like Events: https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-media-auto-publish/

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

Hi Corrado and welcome back to the forum.

I wish there was a clean workaround here to help make the calendar the homepage of a site, but Event Rocket is currently the only one that I know of at the moment.

Widget Visibility is another dynamic widget manager that might be wroth checking out. The key is to find a widget manager that supports custom post type archives since that is ultimately what the calendar is.

Hey Megan!

Thanks a ton for the kind words and for checking out the plugin! I’m stoked to hear you’re considering PRO and hope it’s a good fit. 🙂

While neither The Events Calendar or PRO support multiple calendars, each category does have a unique URL you can link to directly as though there are multiple calendars. For example, a category called Concerts might have this URL:

[your-site]/events/category/concert

Will that do the trick for you? Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, @allydrez–welcome back to the forums. 🙂

I’m afraid that is not possible right now. We saw a request like this come up on our feature request forum. It needs more votes , so it would be great if you added your voice to the mix.

Sorry, this isn’t what you probably hoping to hear but I do hope it at least help answer your question.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Beth and thanks for getting in touch!

I have to be honest and say that I’m unaware of a totally clean way to remove specific categories from the Filter Bar options.

One way you might consider is to hide the unwanted options with CSS. For example, to remove a category called Concert, that might looks like this:

li.tribe-events-category-concert {
display: none;
}

Will that help do the trick? Sorry for the sorta hacky solution, but I hope it helps!

Hi Oliver,

Glad to hear you’re using Event Rocket! We actually do not support it here in these forums and it is supported directly on WordPress.org.

That said, images do not display in the list widget by default. However, you could technically make that happen by overriding the template file for the list widget and including the featured image in the markup where you wold like it to display:

<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $event_id, 'small', false ); ?>

Please do check out our Themer’s Guide for a step-by-step process for overriding calendar template files. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Right on! Thanks for following up and letting me know–stoked to hear that everything is working out. Feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Excellent, thanks for the info Barbara! This is super helpful.

Themes often integrate with The Events Calendar but might not keep up with the latest updates to the plugin. In this case, it does appear that the theme has customized calendar templates in the tribe-events folder. So, it’s likely just that the customization the theme made is a little off and needs to be corrected.

I think your best bet is to ask the theme author for help since they wrote the customizations and would have a better idea of what was changed and how to best integrate it with the theme. If the theme author has any questions for us, please do let us know and we’d be happy to help as best we can!

Thanks,
Geoff

[Geoff]

My pleasure! So glad this helped out and thanks again for reaching out. 🙂

[Geoff]

Awesome, I’m glad that helped! Nice work putting it together. 🙂

You can do the same for the list/single-event.php file, which is located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list/single-event.php.

Drop a copy of that into this folder:
[your-theme]/tribe-events/list

…and you should be able to display those fields wherever you would like them to show up.

Let me know if that works out!

Geoff
