Hello Rami–thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. 🙂

I would like to add the “Event Categories” that I have already specified in each event as a sidebar widget.

We do have a plugin that will help with that called Filter Bar. You could use that to display available categories and allow the visitor to filter the calendar by category.

There’s also another plugin that is free called Category Colors. It doesn’t exactly filter events by category, but does color code events by category and provides a legend of those categories to the calendar.

I upgraded to the Pro version – and seemed to have messed up my Upcoming events sidebar widget.

Oh shoot, I see what you mean. Yeah, selecting “Skeleton Styles” sill apply those styles across the entire plugin.

One idea might be to dequeue the stylesheet for The Events Calendar from the page template the widget appears on. For example, that might look something like this in your theme’s functions.php file. I have tested this, but it generally follows the method to dequeue styles outlined in the WordPress Codex:

For sure! We have a full 30-day return policy on all our plugins. You can grab them, take them for a spin, then return them by email with a copy of your receipt with no questions asked. That should give you a hefty amount of time to play around with them to see if they work out. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi thee, twelvetrains! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. 🙂

Sorry for the trouble with date formats here. I know those can be a hassle to deal with.

It is possible to update the date formats across the plugin in Events > Settings > Display (screenshot). Dates are formatted a little differently depending on what view is being used, so we’ve provided options for changing all the common formats across the plugin from that settings area. If you want to remove the “TH” from the date, that refers the “S” controls that in WordPress’ date and format codes. You should be able to remove that from the appropriate setting and get the format you’re looking for.

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

Cheers!

Hey there, Jeremy!

Sorry for the trouble here–but I can help you troubleshoot. 🙂

I do see that the tooltip is blocking that event link for you. That’s definitely not what we’d expect to happen.

You did mention having customized the template a bit and I do see that there is extra information in the Month View now as a result of that. Where we would expect the tooltip to be positioned like this, the extra content you added is forcing it be slightly out of place.

You can use CSS to re-position the tooltip–something like this in your style.css file:

.tribe-events-calendar .tribe-events-right .tribe-events-tooltip {
bottom: 125px !important;
}

tried out the W3 Total Cache, turned on Minify and bam everything was messed up.

Caching and minifying assets can certainly be a great thing, but it can also break things as well if things are not cached and minified correctly. For example, is the minifying you’re using minifying the files in the correct order? That would be something to check.

The Jetpack option to control widget visibility is not playing nice with the Event Pro widget…

We do know there are some compatibility issues with Jetpack and have noted those here. We do hope to make these two plugins more compatible with one another, but it will certainly require work on both sides to make it happen. We’ve reached out to the Jetpack team and hope we can find ways to do this together. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Luciene,

My apologies–I mistook your last reply to mean that you had checked your WordPress translation files instead of the files for the plugins. Sorry about that!

Were you able to give the Say What plugin a try to see if that makes a difference?

We largely depend on contributions from the community to keep translations for the plugins updated. If the plugin above doesn’t help sort things out, I’ll leave this thread open a while longer to see if anyone else has more input to provide.

Cheers!

Hey there, Stephen!

1. All day events I create say they have passed before the day is over. How do I prevent that from happening?

Yes, once an event starts it is considering past rather than upcoming. You might be able to overcome this by changing the cutoff time for days in Events > Settings to something that cuts the date off at a later time other than 12am.

2. Tthe event is called Two Wine & Dine for $49.99, but in the link below the date to see another event the title is only Two Wine & Dine for .99 (instead of $49.99).

That’s definitely a bug. I see that we already have an open ticket to address this, though I don’t have a specific timeframe for when it will be released. I do, however, have a snippet that has corrected this for others.

Please try adding that snippet to your theme’s functions.php file and I’ll make sure to note this thread in our system in the meantime. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Luciane!

Have you checked the language files for The Events Calendar and Community Events? That would be the place to make sure the translations strings are correct across the board for the calendar.

You can find and update the translations in those files, or you can also check out a plugin like Say What, which allows you to change strings without having to touch code.

I hope this helps! Otherwise, perhaps a member of the community here would be happy and willing to contribute those updates so we can add them to an upcoming release. 🙂

Cheers!

Howdy Houman–nice to see you again and hope all is well. 🙂

1. can you tell me how to center the content on the page?

I think the best way to center text would be through CSS, like we did in your last thread. The reason you’re not seeing the calendar in Pages is because it’s actually an archive of events posts instead of a page.

2. I’m not married to my theme – even though it’s a premium one which I purchased. Can you suggest which are the best commercial themes that would look better with your plugin?

That’s a good question–and thanks for the compliments on our site! Our theme is custom, so unfortunately, it’s not available for download somewhere. We do have a theme we use as a demo here:

http://wpshindig.com/events/

I’d be happy to share that theme with you, if you’re interested in it. Otherwise, you might be interested in checking out our Showcase and perhaps getting in touch with any of those examples as a starting point for finding a new theme.

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

Cheers!

Hey Houman–thanks for following up! I’m so glad that CSS I provided helped out and that the page template made a big difference. 🙂

It really depends on the theme, but you should be able to control the widgets on the calendar using the same widget area that is used on your theme’s default widget area (Appearance > Widgets).

If you want to use a different widget area, then it would take a bit of custom development to make that happen. It’s beyond the level of support I can provide here in the forums, but you’d essentially, revert to the Default Event Template, and customize that template to include a new or existing widget area. We have a Themer’s Guide that will help get you started with customizing calendar templates.

Cheers!

Hi Russ–thanks for following up! I’m glad this has helped so far. 🙂

Yes, recurring events are only available in The Events Calendar PRO, so both add-ons would be necessary if you wanted to support recurring events as well. Otherwise, you could create a new event each time it occurs.

I totally understand not wanting to get multiple add ons. We do occasionally offer discounts through our newsletter (bottom of this page) and Twitter, so those would be two places to keep an eye on if you wanted to catch a deal.

Feel free to let me know if you have any other follow-up questions here and I’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Hi tks, thanks for chiming in here! Community Events uses the same user login/registration functionality that comes baked into WordPress, so any add-on that is compatible with that might reasonably be compatible here as well.

Brian, I see that my first reply was marked as the right answer–I’m glad this helped!

I’ll go ahead and close this thread since it was marked complete, but please feel free to start a new thread if any other questions pop up and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, Benjamin!

Yes, that’s correct–tickets are not supported by recurring events in the sense that all events in the series are only only able to share the same stock of tickets. So, breaking an event out of the series would break the event from the ticket stock as well, requiring a new ticket to be set up for that event.

Does this help clarify things a bit? I’m sorry, but I think the only option you have here is to break the events out of their recurring series and add tickets to them in the editor.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi again, Houman!

We definitely do try to make sure The Events Calendar is compatible the styles of as many themes as possible, but we can’t ensure that the calendar will look great in all cases just by the nature of how themes work. That said, we do have a few pointers here for how to deal with less-than-desirable layout conflicts.

Hopefully those tips will help out!

Cheers,
Geoff
