Hey Torben,

I cannot guarantee I’ll be able to fix your issues, and we cannot operate on your deadline, however if you share a link directly to a page on your site where the widget issue can be seen on the front-end of your site then I will happily take a look!

Be sure to leave your site in the state where a default theme is active, and all plugins except for The Events Calendar and Events Calendar Pro are deactivated like from those troubleshooting steps.

As for the language issues, I’m not sure where the exact problem is coming from – if you have strings in the German translation file that are not translated, the best solution is to translate them. If there are code problems I unfortunately do not know when they will be fixed 🙁

Sorry Torben,
George

Hey Daniel,

You should be able to hide that link by adding CSS like the following to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


#wp-admin-bar-tribe-events-add-event {
display: none !important;
}


I hope that helps!

Hey @codeink,

Thanks a ton for trying that Permalinks trick and for sharing your site information here.

Unfortunately, I was unable to spot anything problematic in your System Information, which means that there could be a code conflict at play here.

Before we dive into more troubleshooting steps, can you just clarify what exactly you’re trying to do here?

You describe your issue as this:

I’m trying to show a calendar with the past events.

What does this mean? Do you mean that your “Previous Events” links do not work, for example?

Do you mean that you’re trying to build a separate calendar that only shows events in the past?

Does your main /events/ view not even work for you?

Just curious about this and trying to get a better understanding of your issues!

I really appreciate your patience here.

Thank you,
George

Hey @Kayla,

You should be able to fix that with additional CSS:


#tribe-mobile-container .type-tribe_events .entry-summary.description {
display: none !important;
}
#tribe-mobile-container .tribe-events-event-thumb {
display: none !important;
}


I hope that helps!

Hey Folks,

Thank you all for your patience here, I’m sorry that you’ve encountered these bugs but I have some great news: just in the past few hours we were finally able to isolate the problems, which related to how Facebook’s Graph API has changed recently.

Our developer Matt came up with a great fix and hopefully it will make it into the 3.12 release of our plugins which is coming next week.

I tested this new version of the plugin and it resolved these issues for me – we’re testing the fix and running it through our QA process, we’ll get this out to you as soon as possible!

[George]

Anna – thanks a ton for sharing your solution here! Great to know. I’m sorry that something simpler isn’t currently possible, but stay tuned to plugin updates in the event that we are to come up with a clever workaround here.

Best of luck with your site!

Thanks,
George

Hey Will,

You should be able to use the following CSS selectors without issue:


.tribe-events-nav-previous
.tribe-events-nav-next


both of which are contained within:


.tribe-events-sub-nav


Is this not the case for you? If so, what are your specific issues in more detail, and what is the custom CSS you’ve written thus far for the prev/next links?

If you do not have these links showing up on your site, then I’m curious: do you have any custom template files for The Events Calendar? If so, make a backup of them and then temporarily remove them from your theme, and see how things behave.

Thanks,
George

Hey John,

While removing the end time from tooltips is quite tricky, you can reduce the date and time displays elsewhere by doing two things. First is to just use a bit of Custom CSS – add code like the following to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


.tribe-events-schedule .endtime.dtend {
display: none !important;
}


This will still leave the “-” separator, however, which you can’t target with CSS, so for that you’ll have to add code like the following to your theme’s functions.php file:


add_action( 'tribe_events_event_schedule_details_inner', 'tribe_support_1001350' );

function tribe_tribe_support_1001350( $inner ) {
return str_replace( '-', '', $inner );
}


We don’t offer support for customizations here, so I hope this helps and hope you can play around with it enough on your own to pull off a satisfactory customization. If you’re interested in removing end time/date info from tooltips, unfortunately the simplest way I can think of for doing that is to customize the tooltip template file directly.

You can learn more about how to do that in general here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Best of luck with your customizations!

Hey Allan!

YES – 3.12 will indeed include support for “free-form recurrence” which should satisfy these needs for you and your client quite nicely 😀

We’re also happy to issue a refund immediately for any reason within 30 days of your purchase, so if for some reason you’re still not satisfied with how the “free-form recurrence” works, reach out immediately for a refund and we’ll issue one to you, no problem.

If you’d like to learn more about the fast-approaching 3.12 release, we sent out an email this morning which you can also view online here → http://goo.gl/kru4CB

Give that a read and let me know if you have any other questions!

Cheers,
George

Hey Graham,

I’m sorry you’re having trouble here! Just to put the disclaimer out early, we cannot help with custom code and such, so you’ll mostly have to take the reins on this one.

With that out of the way, I’m happy to at least try and help as much as possible within reasonable scope of our forums here.

I’m wondering what you find if you try simply adding the WP_Query ‘orderby’ parameter, then specify something like ‘modified’ etc.

Have you tried this? So, for example, something like this:


$the_query = new WP_Query( array(
'offset' => 1,
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'post_type' => array( 'tribe_events', 'news', 'feature', 'resources' ),
'orderby' => 'modified'
) );


What happens if you try that out?

[George]

Hey Jess!

Thanks for the kind words about the plugin 🙂 Your interest is appreciated and I’m happy to answer your questions – which I’ll do in reverse order:

Yes, you can add forms and any “normal” post content to Events just like you would a “normal” post, page, etc. Events come with a full-on content editor so you can add shortcodes, forms, galleries, etc. – pretty much anything, as long as it works with your site in general to begin with!

As for your question about recurrence patterns, until next week or so there really wasn’t much that you could’ve done about these free-form recurrence patterns…

…However, your timing is impeccable because free-form recurrence is one of the biggest features coming in version 3.12, which should launch next week if all goes to plan!

We sent out an email just this morning detailing the 3.12 release, you should definitely give it a read to learn more → http://goo.gl/kru4CB

I hope this information helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey @charrame,

Sorry about these issues. I checked out your site and am a bit curious about what your issues are.

Do you mean that the widget areas on the bottom of your site used to be up on the left or ride of the page?

If so, then this is something that your theme dictates. We try to accommodate theme templates by allowing you set the template used for even pages.

To change this, try heading to Events > Settings > Display in your wp-admin, and try different options for the “Events Template” option which I screenshotted here for reference:

Try all the options and see if any of them improve the layout on your page.

Let us know if this helps! 🙂

Thanks,
George

Hey Jako,

Do you mean that you only want one event per date to appear? Or all the events of one date, but no other dates than just that one date?

Either way, this will most likely boil down to requiring some custom code, which we unfortunately cannot help with.

With that disclaimer out of the way though, I’ll share a quick code example with you to hopefully get you started 🙂 This assumes that you mean that you indeed want all the events of a given day, but only from that day. In other words, for example, this code would only list events happening today September 3, but not ones from Sep. 4, 5, so on.

You’d achieve this by adding code like the following to your theme’s functions.php file:


add_filter( 'tribe_events_list_widget_query_args', 'tribe_support_1001539' );

function tribe_support_1001539( $args ) {
$args['eventDisplay'] = 'custom';
$args['start_date'] = strtotime( 'now' );
$args['end_date'] = strtotime( 'now' );

return $args;
}


I hope that helps!

Hey Jeff,

If you head to Events > Settings > Community and scroll down to the “Access Control” settings area, what are all of your settings there? Take a screenshot of the whole area if possible – you can upload it to a site like imgur.com or flickr and share a link to that here, we’ll take a closer look.

If possible, can you also please share your system information with us? Here’s how to do that → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/sharing-sys-info/

Thanks!
George

Hey @sbatech,

I went to your site and tried submitting an event (anonymous, of course 🙂 ) and it actually worked fine for me:

What browser and operating system are you using? If you use a different browser and/or computer does anything improve?

Thanks!
George
