Hi A S,

I’m glad the tabs are showing up! The message you’re seeing is indeed because you are using the plugins on a multisite network. If you’re only going to use the plugin on a single site of the network, then try installing the plugins directly to that site instead of at the network level. You definitely don’t need to purchase a multisite license just to use the calendar on a single site. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, Megyn!

I’m really stoked to hear you’re looking at The Events Calendar and hope it’s a good fit for you. 🙂

Does your current calendar allow you to export your data into a CSV file? If so, we do have a handy CSV importer that will allow you to pull in all that information for events, venues and organizers so you don’t have to do enter all that back in from scratch–definitely a time saver.

Another way to do it would be to use the import tool that comes with WordPress. However, that’s also assuming that your current calendar is compatible with that. You can check by heading to Tools > Export from the WordPress dashboard and seeing if events, organizers and venues are available options to export. Still, I think the CSV Importer is the smoothest way to go.

Does this help and will either of those methods work for you? Please feel free to let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Ken! Awesome questions.

I really I could say that custom fields for organizers is a feature right of the box, but I’m afraid it is not. One idea might be to try integrating another plugin like Advanced Custom Fields to the tribe_organizers post type then customizing the calendar templates to output that data.

Searching by organizer is fairly limited as well. However, You may want to consider using tags and categories on events that contain specific organizers, then using something like our Filter Bar plugin that would make it really simple for visitors to filter events based on a set of criteria.

Sorry these answers are exactly what you’re looking for, but please let me know if you have any follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Michael–thanks for getting in touch!

Good question. Any event can be published as a Private event in the Visibility settings in the same way that a default WordPress post can.

Another idea (though it would take a bit of customization) would be to designate a specific category for private events, exclude that category from the main calendar views, then create a new page template that queries those events using the tribe_get_events() function. A little lifting for sure, but definitely an option.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey there, Lars! Welcome back and hope all is well. 🙂

Good question. In fact, we recently published a brand new tutorial that I think you’ll find helpful in making the organizer email a link. Let me know is that helps do the trick.

Cheers!

Hey sowhenisyourshow, thanks for getting in touch!

Awesome questions. Right off the bat, I will say that the WooCommerce Tickets plugin  is a nice complement to The Events Calendar. You can create as many tickets for a single event as you’d like and integrate it to with the payment gateway of your choice (WooCommerce itself has many gateway integrations, though some for an upgraded fee). I personally enjoy WooCommerce because it offers a ton of flexibility as far as maintaining control of your sales directly on your site.

That said, I also want to caution that recurring events currently do not support tickets. In other words, you would not be able to create a recurring event that runs for four weeks and sell tickets for each individual instance of that recurring series. We are working on something that would solve that, but honestly it’s probably a little ways off.

You definitely can create that recurring series and do exactly what you describe, which is breaking events out of the series and add tickets to them individually. There is still a fair amount of duplicative work there, but it certainly will work.

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

Cheers!

Oh, interesting!

Do you happen to have any other timezone settings on your site–perhaps something that’s included with the theme or another installed plugin? Just want to make sure nothing is conflicting there, though I do see you noted having already tried switching to a default WordPress theme and deactivating other plugins.

Also, try checking the day cutoff time in your calendar settings. You can find this in Events > Settings in the General Settings section of the page. Is it set to something other than 12:00am?

Thanks!
Geoff

Thanks for the confirmation, Kathryn! Nico is out today, but I just wanted to poke in to thank you for following up here. Please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if anything else comes up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Lara,

That helps a lot, thanks!

This will get you much closer to what you’re looking for:

[php]
<?php
$events = tribe_get_events( array(
‘eventDisplay’ => ‘upcoming’,
‘posts_per_page’ => 3,
) );

foreach ( $events as $post ) {
setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
<div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="<?php tribe_events_event_classes() ?> grid_3">
<?php tribe_get_template_part( ‘list/single’, ‘event’ ) ?>
<?php echo "</div>";
} ?>
[/php]

I hope this does the trick! 🙂

Cheers,
Geoff

[Geoff]

Sure thing! Thanks so much for marking this thread as resolved — I’ll go ahead and close it up, but do please feel free to open a new one if any other questions pop up. 🙂

Cheers!

Oh good, I’m glad the Category/Tags options will do the trick! I wish that it was possible to publish an event without a date, but sadly the date is required and even pre-fills for you with the current date when first opening a new post.

The issue with the link is definitely worth opening another thread for — thanks for offering to do that, by the way! Please do go ahead and do that. In the meantime, here are a few things you can check/try:

• Try flushing your site’s permalinks. You can do this by going to Settings > Permalinks from the WordPress dashboard and simply clicking the save changes button.
• Check if you have any caching plugins installed. If so, try emptying the site’s cache and check again (might be worth clearing your own browser’s cache as well). Sometimes hosts add caching to sites, so you may want to check on that end as well.
• This one is not my favorite, but try deleting the event and publishing a new one to see if the issue goes away.
• Lastly, be sure to try these troubleshooting steps — I know that anyone on our team who fields your thread will certainly appreciate that you’ve done so in advance of opening it. 🙂

Are you all good on the original question about linking to the next upcoming event of a recurring series? I’d be happy to answer any other questions you have around that.

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Shoot, I was hoping that might do the trick but thanks for giving it a shot! I definitely appreciate you clearing your cache and deactivating your plugins for good measure. 🙂

Do events display on the incorrect day only when the current day is highlighted? So, for example, does an event display on the correct day until it gets to close to the current day, then it moves dates? Or are events always displayed on the incorrect dates, regardless of whether it is the current date or not?

We’ll get the to bottom of this!

Thanks,
Geoff

[Geoff]

What’s the code you’re working with for the query? I’d be happy to take a look at see if I spot where the error is.

Thanks!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Good question! If you upgrade now, it will be one year from the date of purchase, prorated from the date of the original process. In other words, you won’t have to do the same thing all over again next month. 🙂

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

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

That’s a good question!

The only link that will give you something close to what you’re looking for is the link to all recurring instances in that series. So, for example, if you have a recurring event, you could get that link by following this pattern:

[your-site]/event/[event-slug]/all

That will display all events in the series including, unfortunately, past events as well.

Another option might be to categorize that event and provide a link to that specific category instead, which will only include the upcoming instances of the event:

[your-site]/events/category/[category-slug]

Let me know if that will work for you and I’d be happy to answer any follow-up questions as well. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
