Hey LuAnne,

The only way to pull off something like this would be to use The Events Calendar and then our iCal Importer plugin.

Each calendar generates and iCal feed, and so you could install the iCal Importer plugin on your “main site” where all of the events should display—set up some automatic imports from all of the calendars you want to import, and the iCal Importer will pull the events from those disparate calendars into the one main calendar.

To see this in action and learn more, check out the product page for iCal Importer here: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/ical-importer/

You do NOT need anything other than a Personal license for your needs here, and do NOT need any other add-ons like Events Calendar Pro or anything. You only need The Events Calendar and then the iCal Importer.

This is the only method to approximate what you describe here; other than this, the only way to have all events on one calendar like you describe would be to perform manual imports and such.

Cheers!
George

Hi Ken,

This weird rendering is unfortunately caused by your theme.

I would recommend trying a different theme or contacting the author of this theme for support and some assistance in correcting things.

You MIGHT also find some progress if you go to Events → Settings → Display in your site’s wp-admin and change the “Events Template” option. Try all of the different template options there and see if any of them look and behave better than the current issue.

If not, then the courses of action I recommended above are what I would still recommend.

Thanks for confirming, Patrick. For limiting access to the Events page, your best course of action is to contact the support team of Ultimate Membership Pro to see if they have any documentation on customizing templates to limit access with their plugin.

It will likely take custom coding. The “Events” feed generated by The Events Calendar is not an actual page so it is challenging to work with in these contexts—I’m sorry to bear the bad news!

---

As for the CSS changes, the bad font-sizing comes from your theme so it will require the sort of CSS changes I describe above. As a quick example of this, try adding the following CSS to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


.tribe-events-calendar div[id*="tribe-events-event-"] h3.tribe-events-month-event-title a {
font-size: 0.6em;
}

Play around with the size value there and use the methods I described above for any further customizing.

You could also hire a professional developer to write the code for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

I wish you the best of luck with your customizations and site.

Hey Johan,

I’m sorry to say it, but that is tricky and there is no good way within WordPress to tell if you’re in a sidebar in a way that I could implement in my code snippet 🙁

I’m sorry about this! You would have to get clever and use some custom, theme-specific coding on your site using functions like the ones described here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_active_sidebar

I’m sorry Johan! To implement the extra features you describe, you would have to write that custom code or hire a professional developer to write the code for you. We have a list of great developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1 (and have no affiliation with any of these folks–they’re simply some well-respected names in the community that we’ve compiled to share in situations like this one).

Sincerely,
George

Hey James,

I agree that we could do a better job of communicating this lack of support—we are working hard on implementing these features, as well, so stay tuned to plugin updates over the coming months!

As for the entry solution you mention, I agree that this is tricky and not ideal and am sorry about the situation here. I wish you the best of luck with your site in the meantime.

If you have any other questions please let me know.

Sincerely,
George

Hey David,

I’ve done some experimenting and found some progress by ensuring that timestamps are returned instead of strings. To test this yourself, can you try finding these two lines of code:


$query->set( 'start_date', 'now' );
$query->set( 'end_date', '+ 365 days' );


And using the strtotime() function on each parameter, so that those lines instead look like this:


$query->set( 'start_date', strtotime( 'now' ) );
$query->set( 'end_date', strtotime( '+ 365 days' ) );


Let me know if this helps!

Hey Mad Dog,

Deleting events from a subscriber with edit access will not reset their permissions.

But unchecking the “Allow users to edit their submissions” option should do that.

As far as Members Role Editor and such, this indeed may be a great solution as long the Community Events settings are set with “Allow users to edit their submissions” un-checked.

You may have to tinker around a bit with that Members Role Editor plugin and such, Mad Dog. We unfortunately cannot help here, because our plugins simply extend the existing WordPress roles and such so to customize them is something you’ll have to take the reins on. But yes the solution you suggest does seem like it could work quite well for your needs.

I wish you the best of luck with your customizing!

Hey Brendan,

You can find Organizer-, Venue-, and Map-specific views inside the src/views folder of Events Calendar Pro instead of the src/views folder of The Events Calendar.

For things like the categories section and such, these are in the src/views folder of The Events Calendar. They are in the folder here called /modules.

You will have to take the reins on finding the rest of the files from here, but I have a recommendation—get a good text editor like Sublime Text if you don’t have one. These editors have “Find in folder” features, so if you wanted to find category-related things for example, you could right-click the “src/views” folder of all of our template files, search for “categories”, and then it will list all of the file locations where that word is used.

There are excellent text editors out there, and many of them, so I would just recommend Googling for a good text editor that works with your operating system.

Then Google for how to use the “Find in folder” features of that editor, and find template files on-the-fly 🙂

It’s a faster process for you and will save much time.

Best of luck with your customizing,
George

Hi,

These are unfortunately more theme-related problems.

If you are getting your themes from anywhere except the following good resources, I would recommend not doing that. Please only get themes from reputable places with good coding, like these places:

• http://wordpress.org/themes
• http://arraythemes.com
• http://woothemes.com

If you use any other themes—regardless of how popular they are—you are prone to run into problems like this.

I will close this thread here because these are the Pre-Sales forums. To post any other technical support questions, post them in our free forums at http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar (click on the Support tab there for the forums).

Thank you,
George

Hi Nobuya,

Please open a new thread on these forums so that we can best tend to your issues while keeping this thread focused on Hanna’s issues.

Thank you,
George

No problem!

Hey Ben,

I agree with you that it’s unlikely that there’s a conflict.

It is technically a possibility, however, and I am not able to reproduce your exact behavior, so it was just a possibility that could be worth ruling out.

In the meantime, I will write up a bug ticket for our developers, but if you haven’t see the banner on this site, unfortunately most of our team is away on the yearly Team Trip. With this mind and the normal pace of bugfixes, then, it could take weeks before there is any progress on this issue, Ben. I’m sorry about that! But just wanted to be frank so you could set expectations and such.

You mention this:

and version 3.0.4 which we know had a feed that worked exactly as it should.

Just to be clear, are you describing The Events Calendar 3.0.4? Or iCal Importer 3.0.4?

These plugins are extremely out-of-date, so I am not able to dig up the files for these plugins and they are not compatible with the most recent versions of WordPress so they could break your site. However, if you can clarify what you mean about the version 3.0.4, I can investigate the differences in iCal features here and see if that leads us to any progress with the bug.

Thank you,
George

[George]

Hey @Haider,

You unfortunately cannot make the calendar the home page of the site 🙁

This is a technical limitation of our plugins that we hope to fix in the coming months and beyond, but at present the closest solution to this is to use the mini calendar shortcode, which you can learn about here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/inserting-the-calendar-into-a-page-or-post/

I’m sorry about this, @Haider!

Let me know what you think and if there is anything else I can try to help with.

Sincerely,
George
