Thank you for testing this, @Oceanfit!

I unfortunately cannot speak to the features of the Autoptimize plugin 🙁 there may indeed be a way to keep it from affecting The Events Calendar though – the best recommendation at this point would be to contact the Autoptimize team for help with limiting the reach of the plugin on your site to preserve your Events pages, they may be able to help!

Cheers,

I apologize for the delayed reply, and can assure you that it is not the norm! It’s easy to explain the delay w/r/t the post from the 23rd, as I may simply have been finished working for the day by the time your post came in right before the weekend. As for the post on the 22nd, I don’t know what happened here, and am sorry about the delayed response. I did not see that post that day or Friday.

If you would like to upgrade your license, you can do so at any time by going to http://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/license-keys – there are various “Upgrade” options for each license listed there.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the screenshot of how things are, Keith. Just to be 100% clear, what is the specific thing in that screenshot which shows, but that you want to hide?

Perhaps I’ve been misunderstanding your question in which case I’m really sorry! I’ll give it another try though; thank you for your patience 🙂

Hi @Tanya,

As noted we’re unfortunately not able to help that much with custom code-related questions, but the long and short of it here seems to be that you just need the “last date” an event in a series of recurring events will occur – is that correct?

If so, then you’re actually already quite close – when you have code like this, for example:


$end_ts = tribe_get_end_date( null, false, Tribe__Events__Date_Utils::DBDATEFORMAT );


That should work pretty well and you don’t have to stop here – you can take this new $end_ts variable and use it with PHP’s date() to generate other date data from it (e.g. the name of the Weekday, etc.)…

If that’s not meeting your needs but you think that pulling the end date from the serialized recurrence info will do the job, like you mention in your last reply here, then that’s fine too! It’s indeed a serialized array in storage – but if you use the WordPress function get_post_meta(), it will return an unserialized array ready for you to use like a normal associative array.

I hope this helps!

Hey @Fernando,

I understand your apprehension about adding yet another plugin.

With this in mind, then, you can increase the number of events on the page for manual deletion by using the “Screen options” tab in the top-right of your wp-admin screen. Here’s a screenshot of this: https://cloudup.com/cnGjzND24hy

I hope this helps!

Sounds good @Melissa! Keep us posted on things if appropriate or if you have any other questions that arise; as for removing license keys from WordPress settings, then generally speaking, yes, you should do that if you don’t need the license features on that site (i.e. support and updates).

Cheers!

I apologize for my misreading your question, @Caleb!

I know on my website, it goes to allthingsmidmo.com/events, but within the site, I don’t see that “page” to be able to edit, other than the settings within the plugin on that page. Does that make any more sense?

Your question definitely makes sense and is in fact a rather common one, because there is no “page” in your admin proper that you can edit for this. In fact, if you were to make a page whose slug was /events/, this could actually cause problems…

The reason our plugin works this way is because a static page would not work nearly as well for the needs of “calendar” features; so we generate what is more like a feed endpoint or API endpoint at the /events/ URL, which allows us to power features like going X months into the future; Y days into the past; etc.

I know that this reply is rather vague; I’m happy to go into as much technical detail about the choice to develop this way if you’re interested, but the long and short of it is that there is no “page” called Events powering this. It’s a dynamically-generated URL endpoint at /events/ (or whatever you set your slug to in the “events URL slug” plugin option 😉 ).

So how does this all play into customizing templates?

Well, a lot of template code is still pulled from your theme as expected, like the HTML header and footer and so on. But then there’s a layer of Events Calendar-specific templating that you can learn more about here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

I hope that my reply here and that guide above will help with customizations!

Cheers,
George

Thank you both for sharing your solutions here! A child theme is a great idea and it makes me smile to see a community member recommending using that method – thanks a ton, @Vincent!
