Hey there, Brian! Just checking in to see if there’s been any further update or if you still need assistance on this one.

We’ve been working on a snippet that might help reverse the chronological order of past events. Give it a shot and let me know if it does the trick.

Hope this helps. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, Eghosa! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

Great questions. Let’s tackle them one at a time.

Is it possible to allow the plugin display past events both on the widget…

There is currently no easy way to display past events in the widget that comes with the plugin. I’m afraid it would take some custom development that would be beyond what we could do here in the forums.

That said, this is a feature we’ve seen come up on our UserVoice page. I’d encourage you to add your vote if you’d like to see it included in a future release. Also, here’s a direct link to our Themer’s Guide and our documentation to help get your started with possible customizations.

…and in a featured page?

It depends on what you mean by “Featured Page” but, there are a couple of options here.

The first is that the plugin automatically includes a page of past event. For example, the URL follows this patter: [your-site]/[events-slug]/list/?tribe_event_display=past

The second option is to create a template that displays only the past events you want it to. You can use tribe_get_events() to make this happen and we have a handy tutorial on how to set that up with some great examples.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, John! Thanks for getting in touch and checking out the plugins. 🙂

Great question. I do know there is a Name Your Price add-on for WooCommerce. This will certainly handle the transaction you’re looking for as far as allowing visitors to set the price they want to pay for a product.

However, I’m honestly unsure how the add-on would integrate with The Events Calendar and our WooTickets add-on. Our plugins simply display the products and WooCommerce handles the transaction from there. How the price is displayed is where I think this gets hung up.

Have you checked out our Eventbrite Tickets add-on? As far as donation-based ticket purchases go, I think this is the smoothest integration you will find with The Events Calendar.

I do think it would be possible to make it happen with WooTickets as well, but you may be looking at some custom development to get exactly what you’re looking for by going that route. Eventbrite Tickets would get you there right out of the box.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know and thanks again for asking! 🙂

Cheers!

Hi there, Preben! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

Good question. By default, the “Default Events Template” does not include a sidebar or comments. However, you can turn comments on by heading over to Events > Settings and checking the box to “Show Comments” in the “General Settings” section.

If you select “Default Page Template” then the calendar will use you theme’s page.php file instead. You may have a sidebar in there, which is great. However, if you do not have comments in there, it likely means the theme template file doesn’t include it and you may need to add it. There is more on this in the WordPress Codex.

Alternatively, you can customize the “Default Events Template” by overriding it in your theme and adding a sidebar to it. You can learn more about creating custom calendar templates in our Themer’s Guide.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, Yokasta! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. Sorry you’re hitting some trouble here, but let’s see if we can figure it out together. 🙂

If you head over to Events > Settings, there is an option under General Settings called “Recurring event instances.” If you check this box and save your settings, this will allow you to just show the first instance of recurring events in your calendar. Note that this only affects the List View rather than the calendar view.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, Sean! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome back to the forums. 🙂

Great question. I see the ticket is still logged in our system, but it hasn’t been pegged to a specific release. Sorry I don’t have a specific date for you, but I’ll add this thread to the ticket so we can try to follow up with you here when we have more to share.

The workaround for the time being is to get it directly in the post meta:

get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_VenueURL', true );

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

Cheers!

Thanks for your cooperation so far!

The next thing I would like to try here is creating a fresh test site – this will avoid any disruption to your live site and ensure that we’ve effectively got a “clean canvas” to work with.

• Please install a fresh copy of WordPress in a subdirectory (if you have a CPanel-type hosting account there will probably be a one-click install script to make this really easy)
• Don’t install anything except The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO
• Please also stick to a default theme–again, there’s no need to install anything else just yet!
• Create a new recurring event so we have some test data to work with
• Can you replicate the same problem?

If you find you can replicate the problem under these conditions it would be awesome if you could stop and let us know so we can take a look while the site is still running under default conditions.

Thanks for your help! Give this a shot and let me know what you find.

Cheers!

Hey there, Todd! Thanks for chiming in. 🙂

That’s certainly a good assumption and would seem likely–however, given the complexity of the many possible views and the queries supporting them, it’s not quite that easy.

We’ve been working on and trying out a new snippet that can handle this. Give it a try and see if it helps.

Cheers!

Hi Christian! Great work so far. 🙂

First off, it looks like the date of the recurring events is working properly on the fresh install. I see the events display the correct dates when viewing the calendar: http://volunteers.rhccresources.com/events/

That leads me to believe that there is a theme or plugin conflict on the parent site. To isolate the issue, I would suggest activating your parent site theme and checking to see if the issue reappears. If not, activate each installed plugin separately and check until the issue the issue pops back up. You may need to publish a test event each time since the issue seems to involve the timezones and database.

On the fresh install if I’m in the same area, I see a header box with content then “Default stylesheet used for events templates” with options……this is not in my parent site backend.

Wow, that’s super weird! What you’re seeing on the fresh install is what you should be seeing on the parent site as well.

Have you made any customizations to your calendar of theme functions on the parent site that might have affected this? I still wonder if there is a theme conflict at play since it appears on the parent site that was having issues before but not on the fresh install where the issues have been resolved.

Will you please try reinstalling the Events plugins? You can grab the latest version of the free plugin here and the latest version of the PRO version by heading to Account Central > Downloads when you’re logged into this site. Let’s use fresh downloads to make sure we work with a clean slate.

Thanks for working with me this far! I hope this help clear things up a bit. 🙂

Cheers!
