Hey Graham,

Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately, what you’re describing here is basically creating another taxonomy to use for events. This is totally possible within WordPress, but it would take custom code to add all of this to The Events Calendar (regardless of whether Events Calendar Pro is active or not).

Does this address your question adequately? Let me know if it does and/or if you have any other followup questions at all.

Thank you!
George

Hey Jacob!

Thanks for the kind words about that link and for your question – it’s an interesting one!

Unfortunately, pulling off exactly what you describe would not be possible without some extensive custom coding 🙁

It’s a level of custom coding that falls a bit outside the scope of support we can provide, unfortunately, so I’m really sorry to disappoint about that. But please let me know if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,
George

Hey @Sotic!

Good question – the short answer is “yes”, because The Events Calendar’s “events” post type has a content area and editor that is essentially the same as the editor for normal posts and pages in your WordPress site.

So, if your gallery and video players work fine in normal posts and pages, then yes, they should work fine within events content too 🙂

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey Carole,

Sorry you’re having trouble here! I have a series of questions and things to note here – since speed is of the essence here, can you address each of the specific points as follows? Thank you in advance for doing so! Here they are:

1. What is the specific site where this is happening? I checked out http://vvamigos.ipower.com/ but found a site that was broken on basic page load:

2. You say this: And I activated the “legend super powers” which worked great initially. What does this mean specifically? Please take a screenshot of what you are referring to – upload that image to Imgur.com and share the Imgur link in your reply, if possible.

3. Please share your site’s “system information”. Here’s how to do that: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

4. As a closing note, I just want to make it clear that it is currently Thursday, 12:20pm Eastern Time. I understand your needs to get this done by tomorrow, but on some level we also cannot assume that responsibility and I cannot promise you a solution by that time. I totally related to having a demanding client and will help here as best as I can! 😀 I just want to keep expectations reasonable; our response times are within 24 hours and we have many, many other customers, so I just want be realistic that a total all-inclusive solution by tomorrow is not likely. 🙁

I will do my best @Carole! If you respond to each point here that will give us a good start on the troubleshooting process and we will try to get things working again here.

Thank you,
George

Hey @Shannon,

Thank you for the detailed information and the updates here. I would agree with you about your hypothesis here:

I’m now thinking that I was just pulling an old/cached version of the map data and was seeing the same error.

I think a good approach would be for me to leave this thread open until it auto-closes after 15 days of inactivity. If this issue arises again in that time frame, post here and let us know!

Thank you 🙂

Thank you for elaborating on this @Jessica! I went to your events page here to investigate → http://www.mingei.org/mim-event/

Here there are no inputs, there just buttons that instead of using the Checked HTML attribute, they use the class .btn, and .active when it is the active filter…

This worked fine for me no matter what browser or device I viewed things on, and the filters themselves were applied too.

Let me know what you think!

[George]

It’s called by your theme eventually, which is a good thing in general – I mean more that the “convention” of an “edit post” link is a standard WordPress convention since the earliest versions of the software…

I’m glad you’ve got things resolved here. Best of luck with your site!

Hey @Steve,

I admit to being as baffled as you are here, and for this whole situation I am genuinely sorry!

One thing I did was run through your site’s events page through Google’s “Structured Data Testing Tool” – https://developers.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/

As you can see in this screenshot the results show no errors:

Well, there’s 1 error in the WebPage category and 2 in the BreadCrumb category, but I investigated those closely and they have no bearing on event information at all…

Your hCalendar and hentry data (which is pulled to generate that data in google results) is all accurate, too.

I’m really sorry @Steve! I do not know why Google’s pushing the time ahead or messing up any of this information 🙁

Thank you for your kind and honest replies yourself, @Jennifer! I hope the information I’ve shared is helpful – best of luck with your projects and your clients’ projects 🙂

Cheers,
George

Hey @Nicholas,

I appreciate your thoughtful reply even though you’re so disappointed with things, and rightfully so. I agree that these features are quite essential to the plugin…

However, I did some deeper digging with this issue (for which I’m somewhat sorry about, as it led to this delayed reply of mine!), and have not been able to reproduce this behavior consistently.

1. If possible, can you share your iCal file or feed URL directly? I will try to replicate your problems.

2. Next, just to be 100% certain, when the import runs hourly are the imported events any different whatsoever than their pre-existing versions? Anything about the titles, source, dates, description, organizer, anything at all that is different about these events?

3. Finally, for now, does duplication happen for you with every single event with no exceptions, or do you find any events on your/your client’s site that don’t suffer from this duplication issue?

Thank you for your patience with this @Nicholas.

[George]

Great! 😀

Best of luck with your site,
George

[George]

Awesome! Glad to hear it’s resolved @Nathalie, thank you for posting here 🙂

Best of luck with your site!
George

[George]

Sorry @Guillem 🙁

I’ll close up this thread but please post a new thread any time if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,
George

[George]

Hey @Carlo,

I indeed used Safari – I also tried Google Chrome on my iPhone and can see and use your website fine…weird!

Do you have any other reports of this happening from any other users of your site?

— George

[George]

Hey Peter,

This feature is not going to be released in the immediate future; it is possible that this will come out before it’s 2016, but I cannot promise that and would say that it is unlikely.

I’m sorry to disappoint!

Sincerely,
George
