Hi there, Mia! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

Great question. Recurring events are included with Events Calendar PRO, so you’re definitely covered there.

We offer a couple of different add ons that will allow your visitors to sign up for an event. The better one depends on your preference:

• WooCommerce Tickets. This one is great for those who like to manage tickets on their own site rather than relying on a third party service. You can create any number tickets for any number of events at any price and your visitors can access them directly on an event page.
• Eventbrite add on. This one is great for those who prefer managing attendee lists and tickets in Eventbrite rather than their own site. You can create and edit events either in WordPress or in Eventbrite, then use Eventbrite to manage attendees and checkins.

The choice is purely preference, but if I had to recommend one to use for your specific situation (not knowing too much about it), I’d probably lean toward Eventbrite. It sounds like many of your events will be free and Eventbrite excels in those types of events and provides a very nice experience for tracking your guest lists.

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

Cheers!

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

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

1)When I create the Event I have to type in the same text every time. is there a smart way of reusing text or embedding it from a static page?

One “trick” is to create a recurring event instead. That way, you can repeat the text for all events and then break the events out of the series by editing then individually. Now you have multiple individual events that use the same text but are no longer in a recurring series.

2) when I create my tickets for the event a new product is created in wootickets for each event, so during a year I will create 52 product all called Kayak1 with the same desription. This seems overly complex and hard to manage. Is there any way to reuse existing products when creating a ticket?

Unfortunately, bundling tickets isn’t currently supported. It has been suggested on our UserVoice page, and I’d encourage you to add your vote if you’d like to see it considered for an upcoming release. I can see how that would be a handy feature.

That said, WooCommerce does offer a Product Bundles add on that may interest you. Honestly, I unfamiliar with it, but it sounds close to what you’re looking for. Might be worth looking into.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, Grant!

Nice work. You hit the nail on the head and I’m glad it worked. We also really appreciate you sharing the solution as well for others who might also be looking for the same thing. 🙂

You can use negative numbers in the margins if you’d like to tighten the list up even further. You’ll likely need to play around with the numbers a bit to get the exact fir you’re looking for.

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread since it seems you found the answer, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Cody! Thanks for walking through these steps with me. It’s super helpful and very appreciated. 🙂

This definitely confirms a conflict with either the theme or one of the other plugins. If you’re interested in pinpointing where the conflict is, you can start by installing and activating your theme to the test site to see if anything changes. Then, install and activate your other plugins one at a time, checking for changes each time.

The core issue seems to be that either the theme or a plugin is overriding the calendar plugin’s functionality. Finding the source and blocking it from the calendar is what you’ll want to do and it may be best to reach out to the conflicting theme or plugin author for more guidance on that.

Sorry I don’t more of a concrete answer for you, but I do hope this helps.

Cheers!

Hi there, Matt!

Didn’t really do what I needed

I’m sorry. I had read your original question as asking for a way to completely remove the heading title (“Events for [Month]”) on the main calendar page. Either of the two options I provided will help accomplish that. If you were asking for something else, please clarify and I’ll do my best to answer your question. 🙂

 you should notice the title of the page remains referring to November, what would cause this?

This is definitely strange and I see what you are referring to. Could you try testing for conflicts and let me know what you discover? I suspect that this might be an issue related to your theme or a plugin conflict, but want to confirm before troubleshooting further.

Cheers!

Great, thanks!

I would like to try 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 [edit list of plugins to suit]
• Please also stick to a default theme–again, there’s no need to install anything else just yet!
• Create a few events 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 and working with me this far!

Hi there, Matt!

You may need to wrap the snippet in PHP tags or fiddle with it to fit your theme’s formatting.

An alternative is to override the content.php template (located in wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/views/month/content.php) and removing the following line:

<h2><?php tribe_events_title() ?></h2>

There’s more information on overriding templates in our Themer’s Guide.

I hope this helps!

Hi there, Peter! Nice to see you again. 🙂

The nice thing is that Events posts already support the default Author functionality provided by WordPress. That means you can override the template where you would like to display the Author and use the following in the template:

<?php $author = get_the_author(); ?>

While this sort of customization is certainly possible, we’ll leave it to you to make it happen. You can check out our Themer’s Guide for more information on overriding templates (including a full list of available templates to override). The WordPress Codex has more information on using the get_the_author() function.

I hope this helps!

Hey there, Cody!

I think the important thing is for us to figure out of the issue is a bug on our end of a conflict with the theme. That way, we can figure out if there is, in fact, something we can from over here to get this fixed for you.

If it is a conflict with the theme (which we haven’t determined yet), then we can help guide you for possible fixes, but it would ultimately be something we would recommend reaching out to the theme author for.

Let start with testing for conflicts and work our way there. 🙂

Cheers!

Hey there, Matt! Thanks for getting in touch and welcome to the forums. I took a quick look at your site and love how the calendar is looking–awesome work. 🙂

Yes, removing the title from the main calendar page is certainly possible. Try adding this snippet to your theme’s functions.php file and see if it does the trick.

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

Cheers!
Geoff

[Geoff]

Shoot, I’m sorry that first shot didn’t do the trick. Thanks for your cooperation so far!

I’ve been unable to duplicate the issue myself on a default WordPress theme, so that leads me to believe there is a theme conflict at play. I also see that you noted the following:

Deactivated all other plugins? Yes
Switched to a default theme? Yes

Just to erase all doubt, was the issue still coming up when you have disabled all other plugins and activated a default WordPress theme (e.g. Twenty Fourteen) at the same time?

Cheers!

Hi there, orgspring! If you’re experiencing a similar issue, you’re certainly welcome to follow along and see if the provided solutions work in your case. Otherwise, it would be great if you could start a new thread so we can address one situation at a time. Thanks! 🙂

Hi there, Daniel! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

Good question. We do have the Facebook add on that auto-imports events based on a Facebook ID, but grabbing events from other places in the way you’re looking for is something we haven’t built into the calendar functionality.

There has been a request to add an XML importer, which is something that might interest you. I would encourage you to add your vote for that feature if you’d like to see it considered for a future release.

Otherwise, I’m afraid building something like this on your own would be complex and tedious. However, if it’s something you’re interesting in trying, I’ll point you over to our documentation as a starting place.

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

Cheers!

Hi there, Johanna! Thanks for getting in touch. 🙂

I think the location search is properly working in this case. The search will suggest locations as long as it recognizes something enough to provide a suggestion. That’s why it was able to suggest “Hamilton Township, New Jersey” when “Hamilton, New Jersey” is searched. The reason “NYC” is not pulling up suggestions is that it is an abbreviation the search suggest does not recognize. However, if you search “New York” or simply “NY” then it has something it can recognize and work with.

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

Cheers!

Sweet, it looks like you’re up and running again!

Yes, it’s very possible that the file was inadvertently moved while you were working on something else. I’m so glad you were able to locate it and move it back to its place.

And, yes, you are correct that the lib folder should not be in the lang folder. They should be on the same level. 🙂

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help.

Cheers!
Geoff
