Hi Lana and thanks for following up! Brian is out on vacation but I wanted to thank you for brining this up and letting us know where the conflict was. Nice work!

Feel free to reach back out if any other questions pop up and our team would be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Tony,

Just filling in here while Brian is out on vacation and wanted to make sure things are still moving. 🙂

Also, on mobile, you can’t switch between calendar views.

Does the same issue happen when you switch to a default WordPress theme. For example, this does not seem to happen when I test using the Twenty Fifteen theme and I want to make sure we’re not looking at a conflict with your theme.

The reoccurring events are not adding a / after the.

Anytime we see a 404-related issue with recurring events and the WordPress SEO plugin installed, that is typically the root of the issue. You may want to test by:

• Disable the SEO plugin
• Delete the recurring event
• Create a new recurring event
• Flush permalinks
• Try visiting the new recurring event on the front end

Another possibility could be if you have any custom rewrite rules on your site or have a plugin/function/theme installed that modifies those for you. The links to recurring events appear to be correct. For example this one…

https://vfwpost1.org/event/free-yoga-for-vets-family/2015-08-18/

…but it redirects to:

https://vfwpost1.org2015-08-18/

The Events Calendar won’t trigger that redirect itself, so it would seem that something else is instructing that redirect to happen.

Let me know what you find here and we can keep digging.

Thanks!

Hi Davis,

Just filling in here while Brian is out and wanted to make sure things are still moving here. 🙂

Thanks for the development site link–that is super helpful!

I do see a Javascript error in the console when I view the site–were you able to check Brian’s suggestion of whether you are using the Default Events Template under Events > Settings > Display? That would be one step to help block any theme conflicts from poking through, but it’s not a guarantee since some themes are more invasive than others.

Let’s give that a shot and see what we find.

Cheers!
Geoff

Absolutely!

In fact, The Events Calendar plugin itself is a free download and can be demoed directly on your site. I find that’s typically the best way of ensuring a good fit anyway since every site is unique in its own right depending on the theme and other plugins being used.

Here’s a direct link to the plugin:

The Events Calendar

This should give you a solid idea of the back-end experience. Let me know if you additional questions here about what that looks like and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Awesome, thanks a TON for your help here Rafael! Sorry about for the trouble and thanks for confirming that the URL is working on the front end again.

Cheers,
Geoff

[Geoff]

My pleasure and thanks again for reaching out! Please feel free to hit us up if any other questions pop up as you test drive the plugin and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Hi Farhad,

These are excellent questions! However, I honestly do not have any information on the functionality of a feature that hasn’t been released yet. To my knowledge, this is in the very early stages and nothing has been set in stone. If you have specific ideas or questions for how this should work, I would suggest heading over to the feature request forum and adding to the conversation going on there.

The idea you’re considering to have members pay to be members first and then allow them to post events could very well be a good solution in the meantime. Do please give that a go and let us know if you find that to be useful and what solution works best–I’m sure others in the community here would appreciate that as well. 🙂

Hi Bud,

Here’s what I did to get the email links working with the Twenty Fifteen theme as my active theme:

• Make a copy of the organizer.php template. It is located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/modules/meta/organizer.php.
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called modules
• Make a new folder in that one called meta
• Drop the copied organizer.php file in that last folder

Now that the template is in the theme folder, it can modified to suit our needs. In this case, that would be changing this line (line 55 for me):

<?php echo esc_html( $email ); ?>

…to this:

<a href="mailto:<?php echo esc_attr( $email ) ?>"><?php echo esc_html( $email ); ?></a>

That (and removing the previous snippet from functions.php) gets me the linked email address on the single event page–does that work for you as well?

Please do go ahead and open a new thread for that other issue you noted if you haven’t already.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi BP and thanks for reaching out!

Right now, we unfortunately do not have a way to embed the Photo View of the calendar on any page with a shortcode (though we do have other shortcodes for embedding the calendar widgets).

One way of embedding events on the homepage might be to use the Event Rocket plugin. The only issue here is that I do not believe it embeds Photo View specifically.

Another route would be to create your own query of events in the homepage template. We have a tutorial on using the tribe_get_events() function that would help get you started on that route. Note that you would need to make sure the styles and scripts for Photo View are enqueued for that page so the Photo View styling could be used.

Sorry I don’t have more of a concrete solution for you here, but I do hope this at least helps get you started in the right direction!

Hi Alana! Thanks for dropping by and I’m stoked to hear that you’re giving The Events Calendar a good look. 🙂

Excellent question. The bad news right off the bat is that The Events Calendar does not have any appointment-booking capabilities out of the box. For example, it would be really neat idea to have events within events (sort of like an event with hourly agenda slots) but I’m afraid that’s not the case.

The idea you pitched of listing each open home as a separate event is likely the best bet. You are correct though: that could get very crowded visually with as many as 15 open homes on a given day.

Sorry for the bad news here–it might be worth taking a moment to test drive the free version of the plugin to see if there might be another way to accomplish this that we’re not considering here in this thread.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Bud,

Shoot, sorry to hear that didn’t work out! I followed the same steps on my own site and they seemed to work. Is it possible you still have the snippet in your functions.php file and still need to remove it?

Let’s definitely keep that other issue you noted on the radar and please do open a new thread if it continues to be a problem. In the meantime, I would suggest testing for conflicts just to confirm the source of the issue.

Thanks!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Heck yeah, I’m glad to be of service and am so glad to hear your PHP chops are getting a good workout! Hopefully you’re finding the plugin to be as flexible and extensible as you need it to be but if you ever have any ideas we should consider, please do hit us in our feature request forum and we’d love to check it out. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Phew! I’m so glad that did the trick. Thanks a ton for following up and reaching out–feel free to hit us back up if any other question pop up. 🙂

Hey folks,

In looking at this issue a little more, I think we’ve landed on fix–at least this appeared to work for us and in some other test cases.

1. Get the new Community URL, which can be found by going to the WordPress Admin bar and clicking Community: Add Event
2. Make sure this URL replaces any instances of the old URL–for example,. any links that might be included under Appearance > Menus

Here’s a deeper explanation of what’s happening over in this thread.

Please let me know if this helps out for you as well!

Hello Farhad and thanks for following up on this feature request.

You’re correct that there is currently no method for charging users to submit events through Community Events right out of the box. I’m also not aware of any workarounds that exist for doing so at the moment, quite unfortunately.

Currently, tickets are a separate feature from Community Events. So, while you yourself can add a ticket to an event that has been submitted to the calendar from Community Events, the person submitting the event does not have the ability to do that. Again, I wish I had a workaround for you here, but I haven’t seen one. For the time being, the benefit of tickets is to allow you to sell tickets for your own events on your site.

Sorry for the bad news here, but does this help answer your question?

Thanks,
Geoff
