Hey @Barback,

To be clear, the most-distant event should only really be displaying before more recent events if other plugins or your theme are also manipulating the main Queries on your site.

The tribe_events_pre_get_posts() function I wrote about above may indeed be a way out of these issues. If you are not comfortable with editing code, your best bet is to hire a professional. We have a list of some highly-rated ones here, just in case it’s helpful → http://m.tri.be/18k1

I’m sorry about these limitations 🙁 I will close up this thread for now but wish you the best of luck with your site.

Sincerely,
George

Hey Iain,

Unfortunately there is no way to do this 🙁

It is theoretically technically possible, but require large amounts of custom coding. So large, in fact, that we cannot help with the custom coding, but if you’re interested in hiring someone to help, we do have a list of highly-rated developers here → http://m.tri.be/18k1

Sorry to bear this bad news!

Cheers,
George

Hey @Michael!

While the automatic date-switching and stuff is a bit complex for the scope of these forums, you can pull off the basics of just displaying a different “Early Bird” cost using Events Calendar Pro’s “Additional Fields” features.

You can learn about these fields and how to use them here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-additional-fields/

Now, if you need more control over the fields or where to display them or anything like that, then unfortunately you can only do that with custom code 🙁 We are not able to help with custom code here, but you can get started by learning how to store and display custom fields information on Codex articles like this one: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_meta/

I hope this information helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey @ameet,

Thanks for reaching out here. If your main goal here is for there to be an action that fires when an event “ends”, then unfortunately at this time there is still not an action that fires like this; it’s a very tricky thing to solve, because you mention wp_cron() for example, which is something we’ve been thinking about.

However, even wp_cron() isn’t a great solution [from our perspective, in terms of adding the action to our plugin and making it a thing that can be “hooked on to” by other developers] because wp_cron() is not a real Cron job run by your server. Real cron jobs run autonomously and at the level of the server. WP_Cron jobs run on a schedule, but only of there have been visitors to the site. So if you have an hourly WP_Cron job, but then there’s a four hour period where nobody visits your site, the action will not fire for any of those four hours 🙁

The same limitations are at play if, for example, you want to determine when ticket sales have ended, or just anything tied to the passage of a specific date/time.

Does this information help at all? Let me know!

Thanks,
George

Hey Gabe,

That is odd – I cannot recreate this issue. Hmmm…can you share your system information with us? Here’s how → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Cheers,

You would unfortunately have to hire someone to help; there are many places online where you can find people for hire for this, but we also have a list of highly-rated developers here that might help → http://m.tri.be/18k1

Hey @Andreas,

There are no shortcode parameters to display images at this time 🙁

Hey @Nicholas,

Well, our code does already do some checking for existing events to manage duplicates and such – so in some sense we’ve boiled the issues down to the fact that our code is turning up false positives and/or just not matching things accurately period.

This behavior itself, however, is a bit hard to figure out, so we’re still working on it.

I’m sorry @Nicholas! We’re juggling working towards a 4.0 release for The Events Calendar and also managing bugfixes like this – speaking of which, if you’d like to try the 4.0 beta code, you can get started by checking out http://betas.theeventscalendar.com – there are “how to” guides there on how to get started with the code and such.

Cheers!
George

Thanks for the update @Adage! The code worked well for me so I’m not sure what’s going wrong, but wish you the best of luck with your site regardless!

Cheers,
George

Now, as for the payment-related things; I’m sorry that I have to more more bad news, but their new payments system is one of the sudden changes they released in their API.

There are now several payment methods on Eventbrite.com; read about them here → https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/comparing-payment-processing-options?lg=en_US

One of the caveats of the multiple options now, however, is that the option has to be set on a per-event basis at this time. You can see this even in Eventbrite’s own documentation like on this page → https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articles/en_US/How_To/how-to-use-paypal-for-payment-processing-and-payout?lg=en_US

So, turning back to your question here:

Do you mean that everyone using The Events Calendar with the Eventbrite add-on must go to Eventbrite and enter the payment info after creating a new event in WordPress?

If you want to charge for tickets using PayPal or Authorize.net for that specific event, yes. Otherwise, it should just fallback to the default “Eventbrite Payments” option.

[George]

We definitely need to change that article and I’m sorry about its existence right now – it’s one of many mistakes we made in our recent Eventbrite updates, which admittedly happened because Eventbrite literally just changed their entire API one day and our plugins were broken.

So we rushed to update our plugins to work with their new API; in that haste, this KB article and likely a few others have been overlooked. I’m really sorry about that Scott, I have created a ticket for us to do a full overview of our Eventbrite articles and we will coordinate the review in line with our next Maintenance Release.

I’m really sorry about this Scott!

Hello,

How have you constructed the navigation menu there? The solution here seems to be simply deleting the existing “Events” element there and just adding a new link to “Events” that goes JUST to this URL:

http://www.retailenvironments.org/events/

I hope that helps,
George

[George]

Hm, that’s odd if it doesn’t apply for you – have you found anything out by your browser testing?

Adding float:left; may make a difference in Safari, like this:


.tribe-events-schedule h2 {
clear: none;
display: inline-block;
float: left;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 700;
}


[George]

Awesome Patrick!

It just got merged into the main codebase, so yes hopefully it will be in the very next release; worst case scenario would be the release after next.

Thank you for your patience with this!

Cheers,
George
