Ha! No worries man, that’s one of the difficulties with conversing over a forum. 🙂

Let me know if any follow-up questions come up as a result and I’d be happy to help as best I can.

Cheers!

My pleasure and thanks for the feedback! I love coming across use cases for the calendar that might not have been considered or fully accounted for. Cheers!

[Geoff]

That could very well be the issue! You might try allocating more memory to PHP, but may need to consult the web host to see if there’s an alternative way to make it happen.

Keep me posted and we can keep troubleshooting from there. 🙂

Awesome! Glad this helps get things started. 🙂

You could call tribe_meta_event_category_name() to display the category name for each event in the loop.

So, for example:

<?php echo tribe_meta_event_category_name() ?>

Cheers!

Hey Darren,

Ah, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying!

In that case, I think it would be possible to use the URL of one of the existing events as the canonical URL, though that would take a fair amount of WP Query work to accomplish.

We are actually talking about different ways of handling the /all/ URL in a recurring series, including the possibility of removing duplicated content from the page. That would be ideal in your specific case since /all/ is the default canonical URL for a recurring series. However, that’s something that is merely being discussed at the moment.

It would actually be great if you have a moment and are able to post this to our feature request forum. In fact, we have added features for SEO based on the feedback from this request, so that might be a good one to chime in on.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you, but does this at least shed some more light on things?

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey Ian and welcome to the forums! I hope you’re enjoying PRO so far. 🙂

Good question–and nice work finding that thread as well. The answer in there is certainly one way to go. You could add that to your theme’s functions.php file and it should do the trick for dividers.

Customizing the widget template is a good way to display the category. We have a Themer’s Guide to help get started with customized layouts, but it basically boils down to this:

• Make a copy of the template. It’s located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/widgets/list-widget.php
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called widgets
• Drop the copied list-widget.php template in that last folder

Now that the template is in your theme folder, it can be modified to suit your needs. In this case, you can add the category name by using echo tribe_meta_event_category_name() in the template where you would like it to display.

Will this help you get started? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Michelle! Welcome to the forums and sorry for the trouble here with Filter Bar not showing up.

First off: will you please check which versions of The Events Calendar and Filter Bar are installed? Both should be at 3.10.1 in order to work together. If they’re different, try updating them so they are using the same version and let’s see if that helps clear things up. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Darren and welcome to the forums! I really hope you’ve been enjoying PRO so far and appreciate your support. 🙂

Good question. SEO comes up quite a bit, especially as it relates to recurring events and duplicated content.

This thread has a good explanation of how The Events Calendar uses it’s own canonical link in place of the one supplied by WordPress. In addition, the plugin generates the proper meta tags to ensure that events posts are indexed separately in search results.

Setting your own canonical link is certainly a possibility. As the the thread mentions, you could unhook the plugin’s action and replace it with your own when wp_head executes.

Another idea is to create the events in a recurring series, then edit them individually to break them out of the series and edit the content accordingly.

Does this help clarify things a bit? Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions and I’d be happy to help as best I can. 🙂

Cheers!

Oh, I see: Month View is set as your default. Showing past events in Month View would be tricky for sure, especially since Month View already shows past events in the grid.

Try pulling up past events in List View instead. So, for example:

http://flyingarts.pboworkspace.info/programs-events/category/pd4-artists/viz-arts-live-online/list/?tribe_event_display=past

Let me know if this helps clarify things a bit. 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

[Geoff]

Absolutely! You can modify the template to suit any of your needs now that it is in your theme directory. Plus, this way, your customizations will stay in tact, even after an update to the plugin. 🙂

Keep me posted and let me know if the date format worked out for you.

Geoff

[Geoff]

Oh, and to answer your second question (sorry for missing that!)…

I wish there was a way to charge for event submissions. It’s been suggested as a feature for our Community Events plugin and is something we would like to do but need to review the best way to make it happen.

[Geoff]

Hi Rhonda and welcome to the forums!

Ah, I see what you’re talking about. It looks as though the page title is mistakenly picking up the names of events instead of the page title itself.

I’ve seen this come up before and, in the past, it’s been the result of a theme conflict. By chance, you might want to try heading into Events > Settings > Display and making sure the default events template is being used for the page instead of a template from your theme.

Just to cover our bases, will you also please try switching to a default WordPress theme (like Twenty Fifteen) and see if the page title is weird there as well? That will let us know whether there is a theme conflict.

Cheers!
Geoff

P.S. I’m going to move this thread to our The Events Calendar PRO forum. We use this forum to field questions related to pre-sales. 🙂

[Geoff]

My pleasure and thanks again for reaching out! Feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other question pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

[Geoff]

Not currently, I’m afraid–well, at least without a fairly hefty amount of custom development.

Like the front-end submissions, we are also digging into custom fields for tickets as well. Same sort of deal as far as timeframe but it is something we are tackling and plan to release in a future version.

Sorry for the bummer answers on both accounts–I hope we can be telling you “yes these are possible” in the near future. 🙂

Geoff

[Geoff]

Hmm, was that the last version of the plugins you were using prior to updating?

I’m starting to wonder if the issue here isn’t more the 500 error than the 404. 500 error messages are typically the result of the not enough memory being allocated to PHP by the server.

Let’s confirm which version of the plugins you should be on first, then we can continue troubleshooting from there. 🙂
