Hi there, Steve! Thanks for getting in touch.

We’re fairly limited in how much we can support custom development questions like this one, but I’m happy to point you in the right direction, if I can. 🙂

Currently, there is no setting or easy way to make the calendar your site’s homepage or to embed it in the homepage. There is a third-party plugin called Event Rocket (not supported by us), that gives you some shortcode options to do just that, but that functionality isn’t currently supported by our plugin right out of the box.

I think the reason you’re getting the spinner is that the calendar scripts are not included on your page. You’ll want to use the default WordPress enqueue_script() function to add those in when the homepage is loaded. Here’s a nice list of available scripts. I’m not sure if this is all of them, but it is pretty comprehensive. Also, here’s an example snippet that you can use to get your self started.

Sorry I don’t have more of a concrete solution for you, but I hope these options help steer you in the right direction. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi there, Andy!

Good question. This is a way to do this on the main calendar, however I don’t think the same sort of tactic would work for the min-calendar widget.

The problem is that the mini-calendar always displays one dot, even if there are multiple events in the day. So, for example, if there are multiple events are varying categories, it would be tough to determine which color to assign to that day.

Sorry this probably isn’t the answer you were hoping for, but does it at least help? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!

Fantastic! Thanks again for sharing the screenshots–that really helped. 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to open a new one if anything else pops up and we’d be happy to help.

By the way, we’d love it if you took a moment to review the plugin for us and haven’t done so already.

Cheers!

Hello Carl–welcome back! 🙂

Good question. Yes, this is definitely possible by customizing the meta.php template. You’ll want to check out our Themer’s Guide for a thorough overview of how overrides work, but in short:

• Make a copy of the meta.php file (located in /plugins/the-events-calendar/views/modules)
• Make a new folder in your theme directory called tribe-events
• Make a new folder in that one called modules
• Drop the copied file in that folder

Now that the template is in your theme files, you can customize it to suit your needs. In this case, removing Lines 27-28 and Lines 41-44 should do the trick.

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

Cheers!

It’s tough to tell, but I wonder if one of three things is happening:

1) Conflict with another plugin. Perhaps try our  Testing for Conflicts Guide to see if a conflict exists and, if so, where it’s happening.

<b>2) Placement of the snippet.</b> It’s possible that the snippet simply needs to be moved to another location in the file. Normally, it can go at the very bottom of the file. You can also try placing right after the opening “<?php” tag at the top of the file to ensure it’s not getting tangled up in another function.

3) Plugin versions. Are you using the latest version of The Events Calendar (3.9.1) and WooTickets (3.9)? Make sure those are up to date and see if there’s a difference.

Also, if you know which plugin(s) you’re recently updated, try reverting to the previous version and see if that does the trick.

Cheers!

Thanks for following up, Ed!

One option might be to create a redirect on your site that points /maps to /events/map. There are many plugins that will do this for you, for example, Redirection.

Unfortunately, there is no way to control redirects directly in our plugin, but hopefully this gives you a solid alternative to make that happen. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
