    My pleasure and thanks for following up!

    Yes, Community Events and Filter Bar are both paid add-ons, so you would need to purchase them in order to download and install them on your site. We do offer a full refund on any order within 30-days of purchase with a receipt, which would give you some time to give the plugins a test drive if you’d like to check them out.

    Cheers!

    Hey Brad and welcome back to the forums.

    You should be good to go as long as the sites are using separate databases. In other words, moving the plugin from site-to-site will not affect your content in any way, but moving your database from one site to another would certainly affect it.

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

    Cheers!

    Hey Sören and welcome to the forums! I hope you’re enjoying the plugins and am stoked to have you aboard. 🙂

    Are you trying to show the additional fields on the single event post or the events list widget?

    If you’re trying to show the fields in the widget, then that is actually a different single-event.php template (I know, a little confusing, right?) that is located in /plugins/events-pro/views/widgets/modules/single-event.php.

    To override that template you will do the same thing you already doing–adding it to your theme files–but here instead: [your-theme]/tribe-events/pro/widgets/modules.

    Give that a try instead and see if it does the trick. 🙂

    Cheers!

    Hey there, Comepot! Thanks for reaching out and getting in touch.

    Yes, it is possible for visitors of your site to submit their own events to The Events Calendar without having to log into WordPress. We have the Community Events add-on that does just that. Once you have The Events Calendar installed and activated on your site, you can install Community Events and that creates a form on the front end of your site that allows visitors to submit their own events.

    Does that help answer your question? Please let me know if you have any other questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

    Hi Jessica and thanks for following up!

    Yes, Advanced Custom Fields does indeed allow you to add that field directly to the event post editor in WordPress, so you would be able to see the field when creating a new event. No editing files necessary, the field will be right there. 🙂

    As far as displaying the information you put into that field onto the event page itself, you can follow the Advanced Custom Field examples for how what needs to be added to the calendar template, then check out our Themer’s Guide for how to override the single-event.php file, which you can use to display that field on the single event page.

    Please do let me know if this helps you get started!

    Hi Myrna and thanks for following up!

    We do have shortcodes for embedding the PRO calendar widgets in a page or post, but I;m afraid nothing for full calendar views just yet, There is the Event Rocket plugin which has a shortcode for embedding the full List View, but I don’t believe it includes Month View.

    Creating you own custom templates for each calendar page is certainly an option here, though that is quite a bit of work.

    I really do think the best option–if it is feasible for the situation–is to use the calendar’s ability to have unique URLs for each category and modify the template from there. For example, if the calendar is currently in Month View and viewing category Birthday, then you can hook into tribe_events_before_html() and tribe_events_after_html() to inject your own content before and after the calendar’s markup. Here are a bunch of examples that can get you started for hooking into how to hook into those functions conditionally.

    Cheers!

    Hey Leland! I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer so I’ll go ahead and close this thread–but please do feel free to hit us up if any other questions come up as you look at the plugins and we’d be happy to help. I hope The Events Calendar and iCal Importer are a good fit for your site. 🙂

    Cheers!

    Hi Jessica and welcome to the forums! I hope you’re enjoying PRO and Filter Bar so far. 🙂

    The trick here is to create a custom field that you can use in the calendar templates. In this case, I wold look into something like Advanced Custom Fields to create a new subtitle field for events, then add that field to the calendars templates using a template override.

    Is that something that will work for you? Please let me know!

    Hi Myrna and welcome back to the forums!

    We do have shortcodes available in PRO, but those embed the widgets rather than the full calendar views.

    To get the full month view with specific events, I think your best bet is to check out the Filter Bar add-on. It allows you to filter the calendar by specific categories, which then gives you a direct URL you can link and direct people to.

    Otherwise, I think you’re looking at custom functions. We’re fairly limited in how much we can support customization questions, but here’s an example of how to remove specific categories from views that could certainly help you get started.

    Cheers!

    Hi Barbara and welcome to the forums! Thanks a ton for reaching out and I hope you’re enjoying all the plugins so far. 🙂

    I see what you mean. Have there been any customizations made to the plugin or any of the calendar templates since it was installed? The venue information should display right after the title by default in List View, so the fact that it is not makes me wonder if there is something else that is changing the order in how it displays.

    For example, do you see a folder called tribe-events in your theme directory? If so, are there any files in it?

    Another thing we can check is activating the default WordPress Twenty Fifteen theme and see if the venue displays below the content there as well. This will help us know if there is something in the theme that is forcing that to happen.

    Let’s start there and see what we find.

    Thanks!

    Hi Kevin!

    Good questions. First off, I do want to clarify that our ticketing add-ons (e.g. WooCommerce Tickets, etc.) do not currently integrate with PRO recurring events feature. It’s something we want to do and hope to release, but unfortunately not out yet.

    Your idea to bundle tickets, like multi-event passes,  is another great one and has actually surfaced on our feature request forum. I hate to be bearer of bad news, but that too is not currently offered right out of the box.

    I think the best way to accomplish this using The Events Calendar at the moment is to set up individual events for each class and use a ticketing add-on to create tickets for each class. Honestly, though, I don’t think this is going to be the best fit for you until we get those other features you brought up in motion.

    So sorry for the bummer news, but does this at least help answer your questions? Please let me know and thanks!

    Good questions, Lance!

    That article does make a development site look daunting, but creating a test site is typically no more than a couple of clicks from your host’s dashboard. Many hosts will help set that up for you if you ask. Once the development site has been created, you can upload your theme and plugin files and use it as a testing group for updates.

    You could certainly backup the site and click update–in fact, I would highly recommend backing up your site files and database anytime you make any updates to your live site, whether that’s for WordPress, your theme or any other plugin. It’s a good practice for sure, even if you’ve already tested the updates on a development site. 🙂

    And, yes, you can update The Events Calendar and then The Events Calendar PRO. That’s a good idea to deactivate PRO, then update The Events Calendar, then update and re-activate PRO.

    The biggest priority to me is getting a place where you can test the updates. It sounds like you’ve done some work in the past to make everything work together and I’d hate for you to inadvertently lose it.

    Hi Andy,

    I’ve logged a ticket for our developers to take a look at this for you. I’m going to mark this thread as “Pending Fix” for now and will give you an update when we have some more to share. Definitely something we would like to check out further.

    Thanks!

    Hey Karen and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

    Good question. This can be set up as a “custom” recurring event that repeats everyday but Sunday. Here’s a screenshot of what that looks like when setting up the event.

    Will that work for you? Please let me know.

    Hello Rainer and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

    Back to Brian’s questions in the thread you linked to:

    Do you have any custom coding for the Events Calendar?

    Can you try using a plugin like Query Monitor:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/query-monitor/

    That can tell you what the slow queries are so we can get some more information on this.

    Are you able to answer those? That will give us some extra context here so we can try to help.

    Also, it would be super helpful if you could provide your system information here as well (you can post this as a private reply) from the Events > Settings > Help screen.

    Thanks for your help!
    Geoff
