Hi there, Itha–thanks for getting in touch!

Good questions. Let’s try to tackle them one at a time.

Will upgrading to pro fix the event time issue to allow “am” and “pm” automatically.

I’m not aware of any current issues with the am and pm suffixes, but The Events Calendar uses the default time settings in WordPress (Settings > General) for time formatting and some additional formatting options under Events > Settings > Display. PRO does not change these settings.

Will the repeating events feature allow each event to stand alone i.e. look like single event even though it is monthly.

Yes, all instances of a recurring event series do in fact show up as unique instances in the calendar. There is a settings to display only the first instance of a recurring series in List View, which is located in Events > Settings > General Settings.

You may find this tutorial on recurring events helpful as well.

Will you help with converting old calendar items to Event Calendar Pro (I only see an export option through excel)

If you’re upgrading from The Events Calendar to The Events Calendar PRO, you won’t need to do any converting at all. Both plugins work together and will be installed and activated together. The Events Calendar PRO is an add-on plugin that extends the existing The Events Calendar with additional functionality.

If you’re upgrading from another calendar, there is a CSV importer that is included with The Events Calendar. Here’s a tutorial on how the CSV Importer works.

Will I be able to create an “Upcoming Events” page that lists only certain categories so no one needs to switch calendar views.

Both The Events Calendar and The Events Calendar PRO include provide unique URLs for event categories. So, for example, if you have a category called birthday, that URL would looks like: [your-site]/events/category/birthday. You can use that URL to link visitors directly to the events for a specific category.

We also offer another add-on called Filter Bar, which allows your visitors to filter events based on a number of variables, including categories, right from the calendar.

That’s It. As soon as you can comment on these issues I can go ahead and sign up.

I do also want to let you know that we offer a full refund on any purchases within 30 days. That should give you plenty of time to test drive PRO and see if it works for you. 🙂

Does this help answer you questions? Please let me know.

Cheers!

Hey there, Cal! Thanks for getting in touch and checking out PRO–we hope it’s a fit for what you’re looking for. 🙂

Good question. Yes, once a recurring event series is created, you can either edit the series as a whole, or simple edit one instance in the series. I will point out that editing an instance will break it out of the series, but you do have the ability to edit the topic and speaker for sure.

Also, I do want to note that we offer a full refund on purchases within 30-days. That would give you plenty of time to try it out and see if PRO works for you. You may also find this tutorial on recurring events helpful as well.

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

Hey there, Anders! Welcome back. 🙂

Good question and, yes, I think I’m following you here. In short, you’d like to add your own custom fields to the event post editor and ideally have them under their own heading. Is that correct?

If so, I often find that Advanced Custom Fields is the easiest way to create and manage custom fields. You could certainly do custom development work create those fields, but ACF does it so well and with an interface that it winds up being much easier.

Once you create new fields in ACF and assign them to the tribe_events post type, you can override any the calendar template to display them. Check out our Themer’s Guide for step-by-step details on template overrides.

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

Hi there, Muriel! Thanks for getting in touch. We’re stoked you’re loving the Mini Calendar Widget and sorry to hear you’re hitting some trouble with it at the same time.

Yes, clicking on a date in the widget should display events for that date right below the widget. Here’s a screenshot on what that looks like. Are you not seeing the same behavior?

If not, is it possible the dates you are clicking do not have any events? Or, perhaps the settings for the widget (screenshot) are not set to display any events? Those would be two places to start.

Ultimately, if the widget is configured correctly and the events are still not displayed, then you should try running through our steps for testing for conflicts to see if you spot if the issue with your theme or another plugin.

Also, if you have a link you can share where I can see the issue, I’d be happy to look at it and see if anything sticks out.

Cheers!

Hello there, Phillip! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. We hope you’re enjoying the plugins so far. 🙂

One of the nice features of plugin is the ability to customize any template by overriding it in your theme. If you haven’t already checked it out, I’d highly suggest reading our Themer’s Guide for a thorough overview of how template overrides work.

In this case, it sounds like you want to customize the the single-event.php template. To do this:

• Make a copy of the file (it’s located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/single-event.php)
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Drop the copied file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme files, you can customize it to suit your needs. The buttons are added on Line 63:

<?php do_action( 'tribe_events_single_event_after_the_content' ) ?>

(BTW, another way to add your content would be to hook into that function.)

Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions as you customize the template.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Justin!

Good question–you can change the thumbnail size in two ways:

1) Using CSS. You can add something like this to your theme’s style.css file and edit as needed:

.tribe-events-list .tribe-events-event-image img {
width: 200px;
}

2) Customize the template. You can do this by making a copy of the list/single-event.php file (located at /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/list/single-event.php), then:

• Create a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Create a new folder in that one called list
• Drop your duplicated file in that folder

Now that the file is in your theme you can modify it to fit your needs. In this case, you should see this line:

<?php echo tribe_event_featured_image( null, 'medium' ) ?>

You can change the size from medium to any other standard WordPress thumbnail size.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, Lars!

Good question. The good news is that Name and Email are already included fields for Organizers. When adding a new Organizer, the Post Title is the name and Email is the email.

You can add additional fields to Organizers with some custom development, but I find it much easier to use a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields, which will allow you to create new fields and assign them to the tribe_organizer post type. You can create new fields, then customize the calendar templates to display them, where needed.

Cheers!

Hey there, and welcome back to the forums!

Sorry to hear you’re having issues with rich snippets–could you elaborate a little more and tell me under what conditions duplicated content is appearing in search results?

For example:

• What search term(s) is returning the duplicated results?
• Is the issue only happening with specific events, or all events?
• Are the affected events configured differently than ones that are not affected?
• Are you using any other plugins that handle rich snippets, SEO or caching?
• Have you added any of your own rich snippets to the site?
• Have you made any modifications to The Events Calendar templates or plugin files?

For what it’s worth, the plugin already includes the necessary snippets needed to properly display listed events in search results.

Let’s start there to see how we can help troubleshoot.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey GG, thanks for following up! I’m so glad the answers have been helpful so far. 🙂

It says that you can post reviews on the events..

Are you referring to the option in Events > Settings > General Settings to turn on comments (screenshot)? If I’m understanding correctly, you are checking that box, saving your settings, then do not see the comments form display on your single events. Is that correct?

If so, will you please try running though these steps to test for conflicts? Also, it would be great if you could send a link over so I can see the issue.

Thanks again!
Geoff

Hey there, Anders! Thanks for following up.

FYI, it looks like the links you shared in your last reply are broken or the site is down.

My hunch is that the snippet isn’t properly implemented in your theme’s functions.php file. Typically, you can simply paste the snippet at the very end of the file, but another safe bet is to paste it at the very top just after the opening PHP tag.

You may also want to try activating the default WordPress Twenty Fourteen theme and trying the snippet there to see if there’s a conflict with your current theme.

Cheers!
Geoff
