Hey Gerry, thanks for getting in touch!

Based on what you mentioned, I would recommend the following plugins:

• The Events Calendar (free) – This is our core plugin that displays events posts in a calendar format.
• <u>Events Calendar PRO</u> – This extends The Events Calendar with additional features but, specifically for you, the ability to create custom fields for more detailed information in events.
• <u>Filter Bar</u> – This extends The Events Calendar so that your site visitors can filter the calendar and view events by specific attributes, like Category, Venue, Organizer, Cost, Distance, Time, and any custom fields you create in Events Calendar PRO.
• <u>Community Events</u> – This adds a submission form to your site so that visitors can submit events to your calendar. The nice thing about this is that you can set it so that only members of your site can post events, which will help prevents those malicious fellows from hijacking your calendar.

Does this sound like it matches what you are looking for? I will add that we offer a nice refund policy that allows you to return any of our products back within 30 days of purchase should they not work the way you like.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Belinda,

Great question! Accessibility has indeed been an increasing priority for us and the good news is that we’re making huge strides in that area.

In fact, our 4.4 release will introduce the biggest batch of improvements to date. Our most current automated test of the release passed WCAG 2.0 AA which is super encouraging. We also know that automated tests are not the final word when testing for accessibility, but it’s a huge first step.

The biggest hurdle at the moment are some of the third-party code libraries that The Events Calendar relies on. Those are preventing us from being 100% of where we want to be, but we have been reaching out to those vendors and most of them are willing to work with us and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to release even more improvements in future releases from there as a result.

I also heard chatter that we’re planning to write an updated blog post on the accessibility improvements in 4.4 when they have been released, so definitely stay tuned for more details to come out of that when it posts.

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

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi @Stuart,

Welcome to the forums! I hope you’ve been enjoying Events Calendar PRO so far. 🙂

I’m afraid that there is not setting for displaying past events when no upcoming events are posted to the calendar.

I think the only way to accomplish this (without custom development) would be to use the [tribe_events] shortcode.

So, for example, you could show past events by setting a date filter on the shortcode, you can show past events from August in Photo View:

[tribe_events view=photo date="2016-08"]

It might even be possible for you to customize the Photo View Template so that if there are upcoming events, show the normal view, but if there are no upcoming events, show the shortcode. I believe the tribe_is_upcoming function would be a good check for that.

The trouble, I know, is that this is not dynamic and would require your manual input which I’m sure is not what you’re looking for. That said, It’s possible you could achieve a more dynamic approach to this with custom development, but that is unfortunately something we are unable to support here in the forums.

Sorry I don’t have a concrete solution for you, but will this help you get started? Please let me know!

Cheers,
Geoff

Awesome, I’m really stoked to see everything looking good and working well! Thanks a ton for following up to let me know. 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but definitely let us know if anything else pops up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers and have a great day!

Hey Marcus,

Yes, RSS feeds can parse event categories. So, for example, if you have a category called “Concert” you can find the feed for the category by heading to:

[your-site]/events/category/concert/feed

Is this what you were looking for?

Cheers man,
Geoff

[Geoff]

Heck yeah, thanks for following up to let us know, Erik!

We’ll go ahead and close this thread but please let us know if anythings comes up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers!

Hi Elizabeth,

Good question. A scheduled import means any time you fetch events from an outside source into The Events Calendar. This can be one event or thousands at a time, but each time an import is initiated, that counts as one scheduled import.

The Events Calendar is pretty darn flexible when it comes to custom styling. Some custom styling might require custom development as well, but it really depends on what you’re looking for. We have a <u>Themer’s Guide</u> that provides the low-down on most customizations.

Does this help answer your questions? Please let me know!

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Eric,

Yes, the price for Event Aggregator is very much like Events Calendar PRO. You pay for the license, then renew after a year.

Where it’s a little different is that Event Aggregator is a service instead of a plugin. So, where you pay for a license of Events Calendar PRO for access to updates and support for the year, you can still keep the plugin, even if you do not want access to updates after the year is up.

Since Event Aggregator is a service, you are indeed paying for access to the service each year, in addition to support.

I’m not sure if you took advantange of our nonprofit program when purchasing Events Calendar PRO but, if not, then I would suggest looking into it because that would certainly help take some of the financial pressure off your organization.

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

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Sendoa,

Thanks for writing in! Heads up that I’ve moved this topic to our Event Tickets Plus forum since our Pre-Sales forum is for questions related to purchasing our products. You’ll need to log in with your account in order to reply. 🙂

You can use the tribe_events_has_tickets function to check if an event has tickets.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey there!

Yes, you would need to purchase both plugins at the full price. We do offer plugin bundles at discounted prices, but those are for purchases with 4 or more plugins.

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

Hi Julien,

Yes, it is possible to do that, but does take a little bit of custom development to make it happen.

You would override the template for the ticket form (more on template overrides in our <u>Themer’s Guide</u>) and wrap the code for the form in something like this:

if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
// code for the ticket form
} else {
// your code for logged out user
}

Cheers!
Geoff

Hey there Andi,

Oh yeah, I see exactly what you mean.

Try pasting this snippet to your theme’s style.css file or using the <u>Simple Custom CSS plugin</u>:

.tribe-mini-calendar-event .list-date .list-dayname {
width: 86%
}

Here’s a screenshot of how that looks when I tested it out on your site. Will it work for you as well? Please let me know.

Cheers!
Geoff

Hi Sacha,

So sorry for the trouble here!

There is a limitation in our cart that prevents two coupons from being applied to the same order — and bundles are considered a coupon item, which is why you were bumping into this.

The best way to go about it is to make separate purchases — one for the bundle and one for the additional license.

Let me know if this does the trick! If the coupon does not work after this, please send us an email to support [at] theeventscalendar.com and we’d be happy to help you out.

Geoff

[Geoff]

Heck yeah, thanks Neil! Glad to hear all is working and I also really appreciate you sharing this with the community. 🙂

I’ll go ahead and close this thread but let us know if any other questions come up and we’d be happy to help.

Cheers,
Geoff

Hi Benjamin!

I mentioned it a little earlier, but we’re looking at next month before the holidays, if all goes according to plan.
