Hi Gretchen! I see my last reply was marked as the correct answer, so I’ll go ahead and close this thread. Please feel free to let us know if you have any other follow-up questions here and we’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Awesome, thanks for following up and letting me know. 🙂

Hello Al, thanks for getting in touch!

Are you using the Default Events Template under Events > Settings > Display? Those things you pointed out are not included with the calendar by default and I have a hunch they are coming from your theme.

Here’s a good example of what a typical event header looks like:
http://wpshindig.com/event/milwaukee-wordpress-wednesday-4-2/2015-05-06/

If you are using the default events template and still seeing those things, is it possible you have other plugins installed that are adding them?

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

Thanks!

Hello Scott! Sorry for the trouble here, but I can help you troubleshoot this.

Let’s first consider a few things:

• Is it possible the emails are actually being sent, but are being automatically placed in recipients’ trash/junk folders?
• Are order receipts successfully being sent for non-ticket purchases?
• If the answer above is no, what happens if you temporarily deactivate WooCommerce Tickets and place an order then – do the emails come through?
• If they don’t come through for non ticket-purchases, whether or not WooCommerce Tickets is active, perhaps there is some other conflict blocking WooCommerce or stopping wp_mail() (the part of WordPress that sends emails) from working?
• Ultimately, would you be able to run through our standard troubleshooting steps – but be sure not to deactivate WooCommerce itself – and see if you can uncover any conflicts?

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

Cheers!

Hey there, kqed–nice to see you again. 🙂

I see in your notes that you are running The Events Calendar 3.9.1 and The Events Calendar PRO 3.9.3. Will you please update The Events Calendar to the latest version (3.9.3)? That should help resolve the issue.

Go Giants!

Hi there, Brandon! Welcome back to the forums. 🙂

You should be able to hit all those instances using CSS in your theme’s style.css file. For example, to get the background color of the present dat header in Month View:

.tribe-events-calendar td.tribe-events-present div[id*=tribe-events-daynum-] {
background-color: #25408f;
}

The trick is to locate the classname for the thing you want to modify. We have a tutorial here on how to use DevTools to help find those classnames, which makes it a lot easier that trying to browse through the code on your own.

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

Cheers!

Hi TW! Thanks for getting in touch. I’m stoked you’re checking out the Community Events plugin and hope it’s a good fit for your project. 🙂

Is the Community Events calendar embeddable? And if embeddable, will users be able to add events from those other websites?

The Community Events calendar feeds to the same main calendar as The Events Calendar plugin, so it’s all the same calendar. That said, the calendar itself is not embeddable, though I have seen an interesting customization where a customer was able to display content across multiple sites through the included event widgets as long as they were on the same WordPress multisite network. That might be one option worth checking out.

We’d love to be able to somehow integrate new calendar listings with MailChimp or some other RSS component. Does that functionality exist?

Yes, the calendar does have RSS baked right in. MailChimp has a RSS-to-Email feature that I think would work quite well with this.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, digitaltech–thanks for getting in touch and sorry for the trouble here with events displaying in both places.

We do try to make our plugins compatible with as many themes as possible, but there are definitely going to be instances where conflicts come up with certain ones. That said, I haven’t come across any other reports of a conflict with the LemonChili theme. I also don’t see anything off the bat that would be an obvious fix.

In this case, I think it’s best to reach out to the theme author to help troubleshoot and see if there is some custom development on that end that is preventing the core events functionality from working properly.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you here, but I’m hoping the theme author will be able to shed some light on this.

Cheers!

Hi Charmaine!

Filter Bar is excellent for drilling down events on the calendar page itself, but unfortunately does not include a similar widget that can be placed on any page or post.

I did come across this post where someone was able to add the Events search bar to a homepage: http://gregorypearcey.com/blog/add-tribe-events-search-bar-home-page/

That might be one way to go. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi artsmartlondon–thanks for getting in touch and sorry for the trouble here.

We did indeed come across some issue in the Eventbrite 3.9.3 update and have pulled it back to work them out. In the meantime, are you able to roll back to 3.9.2 and–if so–do you still encounter the same issue?

Thanks!
Geoff

Hi northwoods,church! Welcome to the forums. 🙂

That’s an interesting question. It would certainly be neat to make additional fields conditional based on the event/category/tag/view/etc. being used, but unfortunately that’s not something available right out of the box. I wonder if you you have better luck integrating Advanced Custom Fields with The Events Calendar since it provides a deeper level of logic to match specific fields to specific posts.

I really like the way you’re thinking–if you have a moment, I’d it if you posted your idea on our UserVoice forum. We track new feature requests there and I could see how others might find that handy as well.

Cheers!

Hello joinfof–nice to see you again. Hope all is well. 🙂

I don’t see anything off the bat that in that code example that would affect permalinks. What is the exact permalink issue you’re facing? It seems like venue and organizer pages are still accessible (like this one). Have you tried flushing your permalinks (Settings > Permalinks > Save) to see if that has an effect?

Let’s start there and see what we find. I’d definitely be interested in more details on what’s happening and how to replicate the issue if you have them.

Cheers!

Hi Katie,

Great, I’m glad that will work!

Check out the links in my last reply. Those will walk you through how to set up a new widget area in your theme, then include it in the template. You can then drop the event widget in that widget area in the Appearance > Widget area of WordPress. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Gretchen–thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

Interesting question! I think the answer really depends on how the desktop and mobile versions of your site are currently tied together. If they are two separate installations of WordPress, then you certainly be able to install The Events Calendar on both sites, but would need to enter the content separately from one another.

We have seen one instance where a customer had a WordPress multisite installation and found a way to make the event widgets share content between sites on the same multisite network. That was a very creative solution, but did require a lot of custom development to pull off.

So, the short answer is that sounds like you might require entering content twice. Then again, that all depends on how WordPress is setup for you and to what extent you can customize the plugins.

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!
Geoff

Hi Katie!

Good question. I think your best bet here is to create a new widget area that is tied specifically to your site’s homepage and include that widget area in the template. That way, you can drop the event widget into that area under Appearance > Widgets, while having it coded directly into the template.

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

Cheers!
Geoff
