Nice work! I’m so glad to hear things are up and running and appreciate your reporting back the good news. 🙂

Feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up–we’d be happy to help.

Cheers!

Hi @Tara!

Sorry for the trouble here! We’re fairly limited in how much we can support customizations like this, but I’m happy to help as best I can.

I think the best way to get the event meta to the top of the content is to do a template override of the single-event.php template. You can do this by:

• Making a copy of the file–it’s located in /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single-event.php
• Create a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Place the copied single-event.php file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme, it can be modified to suit your needs. In this case, take the following lines from the template:

[php]
<?php do_action( ‘tribe_events_single_event_before_the_meta’ ) ?>
<?php
/**
* The tribe_events_single_event_meta() function has been deprecated and has been
* left in place only to help customers with existing meta factory customizations
* to transition: if you are one of those users, please review the new meta templates
* and make the switch!
*/
if ( ! apply_filters( ‘tribe_events_single_event_meta_legacy_mode’, false ) ) {
tribe_get_template_part( ‘modules/meta’ );
} else {
echo tribe_events_single_event_meta();
}
?>
[/php]

…and move it right below this line:

[php]<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( $event_id, ‘full’, false ); ?>[/php]

That should move the entire event meta section right above the content.

As far as the Google Calendar and iCal buttons go, those should already be down at the bottom as long as no other changes have been made. Here’s what final result looks like on my end when using the default Twenty Fifteen theme.

Oh: I also can’t get rid of the redundant info (the date under the event title and the repeated info in details.)

You can take hide that extra info by creating a new CSS file in that same tribe-events folder called tribe-events.css and adding this to it:

#tribe-events-content .updated {
display: none;
}

Will this work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi David, and thanks for reaching out!

Absolutely. In fact, it’s totally possible to color-code categorize by installing this free add-on.

Will this work for you? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Miah and sorry for the trouble here!

Is there a link you can share where I can see the issue? That would be a super help so I can look for any obvious red flags off the bat.

Also, do you have any customizations in place? For example, have you modified any of the calendar templates or have a folder in your theme directory called tribe-events? We’ve recently deprecated some functions and I want to make sure those aren’t the root of the issue.

Last (but definitely not least), does the navigation continue to fail when switching to a default WordPress theme, like Twenty Fifteen? Just want to make sure there isn’t a direct conflict with the theme that would tip us off.

Let’s start there and see what we find. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Michael and welcome to the forums!

Quick question: are you running the same versions of The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar PRO? You noted that you are currently running PRO 3.10.1, but version 3.11.1 is out and should be used alongside The Events Calendar 3.11.2.

Please update that if you haven’t already and let’s see if that makes a difference. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hmm, shoot. I was hoping that would work.

It’s going to be rather difficult for me to troubleshoot this directly since the conflict is coming from the theme rather than the plugin. Give this one more try — at the very least, I hope it helps provide a starting point for you to fiddle with:

.tribe-events-list-event-description a:not[.tribe-events-read-more] {
display: none !important;
}

Another way to go about this is to check your theme’s functions.php file for any functions that might be auto-appending that “continue reading” link and remove or alter it.

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi Sascha! Thanks for checking out The Events Calendar–I really hope it’s a good fit for your project. 🙂

The Events Calendar and PRO do not specifically support a Register button. However, we do offer ticketing add-ons that allow you sell and reserve tickets for an event. We also have an add-on that integrate with Eventbrite, which another good route for taking registrations. In fact, you can check out a demo of the Eventbrite Tickets add-on here.

Will any of those options work for you? Feel free to let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help.

Cheers!

Hi Francois and thanks for getting in touch!

Good question. The calendar itself is a custom post type archive template that is called from the plugin directory. You can override the template with your own (more on this in our Themer’s Guide). Otherwise, I think the question of how extensible the calendar is with a tool like Visual Composer or Conductor largely depends on their level of support with custom post type archive templates. Not to say that there isn’t more we could do on our end to make that integration smoother, but it is definitely a two-way street for full compatibility.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help.

Cheers!

Hey Victor! Welcome to the forums and thanks for reaching out. 🙂

Good question. Events do share the same native WordPress tags as posts. So, if you tag an event with something like “BBQ” then posts they can be grouped with posts that use the same “BBQ” tag.

Whether the events show up in your theme’s slider largely depends on whether that slider supports custom post types. If that’s the case, then pulling from the same tag should work. If not, however, then it sounds like support for custom post types would need to be built in.

Does that makes sense? Will that work for you? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Ah, gotcha–sorry I missed that. 🙂

Try this instead:

#tribe-events .entry-summary a:not[.tribe-events-read-more] {
display: none !important;
}

The tricky part is that both link exist in the same div and the “read more” link does not have a class attributed to it. Let me know if this makes it work. 🙂

Hey Clair! I’m so glad you’re checking out The Events Calendar and this is an excellent question.

We do support ticket sales with an add-on but I’m afraid booking events within events isn’t currently an option. I do see that this has been suggested in our new feature forum. I’d encourage you to add your vote to it so it gets some more traction–I can see how that would be super helpful in addition to simply being a cool feature.

Sorry I don’t have a better answer for you here, but does this at least help? Please let me know if you have any other follow-up questions and I’d be happy to help.

Cheers!

Hi James and welcome to the forum!

That’s really weird and something I admittedly haven’t come across before.

Does it happen when you have a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Fifteen) activated? I’m definitely inclined to ask you to go through these troubleshooting steps just to make sure there isn’t a specific conflict with the theme or another plugin.

Let’s start there and see what we find. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hi Akash, thanks for getting in touch!

There is an option in Events > Settings under the General Settings section that allows you to set the maximum number of events per page. Any number above that will create a link to the next page. Any number below that will only the events that are available.

I see that this thread was posted in the Pre-Sales forum, so I’ll go ahead and move it to the PRO forum since it seems to be a question about settings rather than sales.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Noah and welcome to the forums!

I see what you mean. That’s likely the result of how excerpts are registered in your theme, but there’s way to hide the extra link. Try adding this to your theme’s stylesheet and see if it does the trick.

#tribe-events .tribe-events-read-more {
display: none !important;
}

Let me know if that helps and we can go from there. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
