Hey Peggy,

To be clear, The Events Calendar’s inclusion in that theme is nothing we are a part of or support. I only mention this because there are numerous issues that can arise from theme-inclusion of plugins….

1. Before jumping to conclusions about the problem, however, can you share your “System Information” with me here? This article shows how to do that → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

2. You say this in your post: “If I deactivate the version that comes with Avada”…I would recommend deleting and version of a plugin that comes within your theme. It is not correct for plugins to be in themes and so you should remove this if possible. Then, install the real plugin from http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar on your site. If this breaks the theme or further theme-specific help is needed on this, contact the Avada support team for assistance.

With the system information you share, I’ll be able to see more about your site’s makeup to get a better sense of the issue – and then with proper plugin code installed, we can hopefully progress to the point of having Events Calendar Pro installed and activated without issue 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hey Eric,

This is a theme and design-related question so there is unfortunately only a limited amount of things we can help with here – I only mention this to set your expectations and such, but am still happy to help 🙂

Can you share a link to this page directly, so I can check out? Also, can you clarify exactly what you would want here? Are you hoping to remove the organizer and details modules completely, or simply change the green background text in the image to be the same background as the rest of the module container?

Thanks,
George

Hey Danielle,

Thanks for reaching out. While the answer to your second question (“is there a way to add the form into a page template somehow so I can add it to a page and restrict it normally?”) is unfortunately “No”, the answer to your first question (“Is there a template page or a file someone in the Community Events back-end that draws up the form or a file that IS the form entirely?”) is “yes”.

The specific page template that renders the Community Events submission form is found within the Community Events plugin files at this location:

src/views/community/edit-event.php

While we cannot help with code customizations, we do have a great resource for template modifications here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

If you follow the principles in this guide and tinker around with that membership-related code on that Community Events file I mentioned, you might be able to pull off what you’re trying to do here.

I hope this information helps!

Hey Jos,

Sorry to hear about this! We have some bugs where we have not properly made some strings translatable, so that might be affecting those places on your site where you still English.

We are working on these bugs and hope to have fixes published for them in the coming weeks. I do not have a specific ETA but is should be in the next several weeks.

Feel free to report any locations where you still see English on your site! We might already have that location fixed, but might not, so it’s worth sharing if you’d like.

Thanks,
George

Hey Abby,

There is unfortunately not a list of hooks and filters because, as you found with the deprecated functions and such in our other documentation, there is just no better way to find all of the functions and filters and hooks than the actual code itself.

What I mean is that, because code changes quite often, the best way to find hooks and filters within our plugins is to open the plugin files in your code editor of choice; and then just search for “do_action()” calls to find action hooks, and search for “apply_filters()” calls to find filters.

As for functions that are not deprecated, I have similar advice here: the single best source is to head into the plugin files whose functions you’re curious about, and then inside this plugin navigate to src/functions/. This folder contains all template tags and advanced functions, and is the most up-to-date reference possible.

I hope this information helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey Pablo,

Just to update this, I’ve already submitted the bug report and have submitted the code changes to fix this myself. They will still need to be tested and such, but hopefully this code makes it into the next release; if not, then one immediately after it.

Stay tuned! 😀

Thank you for reporting this, @Pablo! This indeed seems like an error.

I will make a bug ticket for our developers; hopefully we can issue this is as a bugfix in one of our upcoming releases.

There is unfortunately no immediate action I can recommend at this time 🙁 But I will report the bug and we will publish a fix as soon as possible.

Thank you!
George

Hey @Arleym,

Apologies for the length of my reply above!

In this reply, I would like to address your first question:

1) Can I move the JS to the footer? Datepicker, Events, and Filter are all render blocking in the head. Footer is more performant! I also want to call them after my theme JS.

Our plugin DOES load its scripts in the footer. For this to not be the case would mean that there is some weird code elsewhere on your site changing things.

1. Can you please share links to where we can see this incorrect script-loading on your site? I’ll take a look.

2. Can you share the “System Information” for this site? Here’s how to do that → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thank you!
George

Hey @Arleym,

Thanks for reaching out. Just to set expectations nice and early, we cannot help with custom coding. I don’t mention this to be a bummer! I only mention it to address things like your second question:

2) The cost slider JS is in the middle of the template expecting jQuery to have already been loaded. I want to add a custom queue wrapper around this for our RequireJS’d framework to render at the appropriate time. Is this doable?

Something like this is indeed doable; however, it’s not something we can help implement and there’s not much general advice we could share here because of how specific the customization is.

The third thing you mention here relates to templates and such:

I love that there are hooks to add some template files in my theme, but I don’t want to have to keep these up to date with every iteration. I’m hoping there is some functions.php PHP wizardry that will help with these two issues! I’ve done some Googling and think conceptually this is possible, but I struggle with syntax. Thanks!

To be clear, you do not have to update your customizations every update if you put them in your theme; our themeing system, in other words, makes it so that you don’t have to update the code every plugin update.

What I mean is that, for example, if you didn’t have this themeing system and wanted to change something in the plugin, you’d have to edit plugin code and thus any time it’s updated it would be overwritten and you would need to re-make the changes.

By putting your changes in your theme, then you can update the plugins automatically without issue.

Now, you will have to maintain your customizations of course, and if you update your theme then the tribe-events folder will be overwritten and you will have to recreate the files. But this is the case no matter what; whatever functions.php trickery could exist, that functions.php file would itself also be overwritten upon a theme update.

I would recommend making a child theme, as described here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

If you create a child theme and then employ the practices described in our themer’s guide, you should be able to update the parent theme without having to re-implement the customizations each time, and should be able to to update the plugins, too, without having to update things each time.

I hope this information all helps. For a bit of separation of content I will address your first question in my next reply.

Hey @Henricocounty,

This is unfortunately not possible at this time 🙁 I’m sorry to bear this news!

Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Thank you,
George

Hey @clarity,

Sorry to hear about some of these issues. The first thing to touch on is the double-header issue; I’m not sure why this is happening, but you can fix this for now by pasting the following CSS into the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


#tribe-community-events .tribe-events-before-html {
display: none !important;
}


That should solve that problem for now.

---

As for the authorization redirect issues, this is odd behavior that I am unfortunately not able to recreate. To help is investigate this, can you share your “system information” as described on this page? → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thank you!

Hey Eric,

We unfortunately have no special integration with BuddyPress for any of our plugins at this time.

I’d like logged in users to rsvp with a click, if possible.

This is not possible with any of our plugins at this time.

Should I get “The Event Plugin Pro” or “Community Events?” I didn’t see any specific mention of buddypress. Would Community Events be the best, if I wanted users to also be able to submit events?

Neither has special integration with BuddyPress, although just on the basis of which one offers user-submitted events, Community Events is the plugin that offers those features.

Is there any other functionality for searching for a list of venues, similar to a location directory of some sort, or is it only events that are “items?”

There is no venue directory feature, only the searching abilities that you can see in action at http://wpshindig.com/events. As you can see on this page, there is some preliminary location-based searching that can be done; but there is no other venue-search feature than this at this time.

I’d love the ability to review the event. Is that possible?

This question could mean lots of different things, but if what you mean is that users submit events and then you review the submissions before publishing, then YES this is possible with Community Events on WordPress – none of our plugins work on BuddyPress – but yes, on WordPress, with The Events Calendar and Community Events, you can set the “default status” for events upon submission to be “pending review” or “draft” or something like that. Then you can go over these items and selectively change them to “Publish” if you approve the submission, then delete or ignore the ones you do not approve.

I hope this information is helpful – let me know!

Hey @Mikhail,

This string – %s Category – and variations of it appear in multiple places throughout the file. Have you only changed it in one spot? Or have you changed all instances of this sort of string?

Also, I could not see this in English on your site anywhere. Can you share a screenshot of an exact place on the front-end where the string is not translated? You can do so by uploading the screenshot to Imgur.com, Flickr.com, CloudUp.com, or any similar image-hosting site; then just share the links to those images here and I’ll take a look.

Thank you!
George

Hey Mark,

While we indeed have a whole Non-Profit Partnership Program that issues free Events Calendar Pro licenses to approved non-profits, unfortunately our products do not do exactly what you describe here at this time.

Two tickets, for example, can indeed be purchased; but there are no features in place to add custom information to each ticket like which child it is for, add the child’s name to it, etc. Only one person can but tickets at a time, and so the tickets would just be sent to the email address of the person who entered their personal information at checkout…

In the coming months, we are hoping to release features along the lines of what’s described here. But there is no definite ETA for this at this time – just something we hope to release generally before 2017, for example – and these features do not exist at this time 🙁

I hope this information is clear and helps you proceed – let me know if this is the case, and any other questions you might have here.

Thanks!
George

Hi Mimi,

You should NOT update The Events Calendar if the other add-ons for it on your site, like Events Calendar Pro are out date. This will break the plugins.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with!

Cheers,
George
