Hey Scott,

You could do so with some simple JavaScript added to your site via a function in your theme’s (or, even better, your child theme’s!) functions.php file. You can set the “Placeholder” attribute via JavaScript so that should work well.

Here’s an example:


add_action( 'wp_footer', 'scott_tribe_placeholder_js' );

function scott_tribe_placeholder_js() {
if ( ! wp_script_is( 'jquery', 'enqueued' ) ) {
wp_enqueue_script( 'jquery' );
}
?>
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
$( 'input#tribe-bar-date' ).attr( 'placeholder', 'New Placeholder Text' );
});
</script>
<?php
}


That would change the placeholder text for the “Date” input to “New Placeholder Text”, for example.

Play around with that, and if you need help finding the specific HTML names of the input elements whose placeholders you want to adjust, check out a free tool like Firebug if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either Safari or Chrome, which all have “Inspector” tools in them which let you zoom right over the element on the page with your mouse to find out its HTML id and such.

I’ll close up this thread for now, as you’ll have to take the reins on the rest of your customizing. I hope this helps you get started on that!

Hey Cristina,

This feedback is actually really helpful and something I hadn’t thought about before, so thank you for sharing it. I’m sorry that you’ve found it frustrating to find a good theme.

We don’t recommend specific themes, but rather specific theme authors. These are places where you can find themes that meet the WordPress Coding Standards. Avoid big theme marketplaces, or “kitchen-sink”-style themes or “site builder” themes, and stick with the following resources:

• http://wordpress.org/themes/
• http://arraythemes.com
• http://woothemes.com
• https://graphpaperpress.com/
• http://www.andersnoren.se/

These are examples of good theme developers, of varying size and type of theme that they offer. I hope it helps! 🙂

Cheers,
George

Thanks for the update Cynthia – we’re working hard on figuring out why this is happening, which is still a bit unclear, and will fix it as soon as possible!

Cheers,
George

Neither of these problems occurred with the default wordpress themes

Hey Christina,

Thanks for your reply. The quote that I highlighted up above reveals the fact these problems stem from your currently-active theme. We unfortunately cannot help with theme issues here, and your best course of action is to contact their support team.

I was still unable to access your site so I do not have any custom CSS to recommend, unfortunately 🙁

Sorry to disappoint! But there’s just not more that we can do here. I will close up this ticket for now in regards to these two theme-related tweaks. If other issues arise, come back and open a new thread any time!

If you get your site live and running with these issues, as well, then come back and open a new thread and be sure to link back to this thread for reference, and mention that the problem is now visible on your site. We might then be able to recommend some simple tweaks to help a bit 🙂

Cheers!
George

Hey Anna,

That code may indeed work well for you – if you’re new to editing code, be sure to have backups of everything of course!

Both of our approaches should work similarly. Note that in mine, I’m adding the fields directly to the tribe_get_map_link_html filter, so my code just echos its contents right after that function. Now, look at your code. It literally does the same thing, just a bit more literally, and if you wanted to add more HTML then your method would make that easier to do.

So it’s really up to you – both should work fine.

Keep good backups of everything, and play around a bit. I’m sure you’ll be able to put something useful together!

Cheers,
George

Hey @pgleleux,

Thanks for that followup update there (and apologies for the delayed reply, just coming out of the weekend!).

I’m really sorry that issues are persisting for you even with the numerical time zones, which usually help other works. It makes me wonder if there could be a theme or plugin code conflict that is afflicting your site on top of our bug?

This is not super-likely, but if you wanted to test for it, you could by doing the troubleshooting steps here and then running some test imports at the end of all those steps → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

I admit, though, that the true utility of that testing is questionable…

We have a known bug here and are working hard to fix it. I know how frustrating bugs like this can be, so your patience while we work through this is much appreciated!

Thanks,
George

Hey Lori,

Thanks for reaching out. I’m curious about a few things here: first, can you clarify exactly what you mean by this comment?

I’m thinking that surely, since Woocommerce Tickets and Events Calendar Pro are intended to work together in exactly this way, there must be a way to do it,

What way do you mean, specifically? I just want to be certain of this because you might be referring to something that is not, in fact, something intended to work a certain way, which would then require a different approach than if you’re referring to something that is supposed to be working a certain way.

Next, can you clarify exactly how you made the /tickets page on your site?

Thank you in advance for providing more information on both of these points. In closing, for now, I should point out that this is mostly a customization question. No worries! I’m still here to help out as much as I can 🙂 But just wanted to note this, and to note the related fact that we don’t offer any support for customizations here.

Hey @jasminchang,

The Events Calendar does not have any of its own “Export” features, so if you are referring to a specific “CSV Exporter” tool on your site, it is not something we make and so I can’t say whether it will transfer URLs or images, etc.

If you’re using the WordPress “Export” tool, which exports XML files, then YES, the association of an event to its featured images will be included in the export file information, though you will need to transfer the images of your media library over to your new WordPress site. There are many resources online for learning to do that, so if you’re not familiar with this process, definitely look into those.

As for having the “same URL”, this depends a bit on what you mean – if your permalinks settings are exactly the same, then the event title and the event date in the URL should indeed be the same.

Thanks!
George

Hey Glen,

It sounds like what you mean is that you want to have the “default” WooCommerce checkout form just handle all the “normal” events – in other words, the standard checkout form with Name, Email, Address, then of course payment information.

But then, for some types of events, you can selectively enable a different checkout form for them – so, for your Youth Camp example, all other events use the normal checkout form but then that event uses a form with extra fields that are required before proceeding in the checkout process.

Does this sound like what you’re looking for here?

If so, then yes this is all possible, but no The Events Calendar and its ticketing add-ons do NOT enable this out-of-the-box at all. There are several different ways of going about adding custom forms like this on a per-event basis, but it’s not some any of our Tribe plugins would enable 🙁

Thanks,
George

Hey Peter,

You unfortunately cannot have multiple calendars at this time 🙁

Sorry to disappoint! Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with.

Hey Peter,

Thank you for your interest in our plugins for your project!

Unfortunately, this is not quite possible, in my opinion:

Is The Events Calendar capable to handle 200.000 or more evnts?

If you have top-of-the-line web hosting or something, then handling 200,000 events may be possible, but it will be very slow and very hard on your site at best.

We are working hard on improving this but for now, unfortunately, our performance with high numbers of events like that leaves much to be improved upon.

Cheers,
George

Hey @marc-andre,

Unfortunately, I’m not 100% certain about what you’re asking for here – but I’ll do my best to answer!

Bad News:
There is not a shortcode to just list events like you describe here.

Good News:
Events Calendar Pro does have a “recurring events” feature that should work well for you to create events on “multiple dates” like you mentioned. Learn about recurring events here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/pro-recurring-events/

This may suit your needs quite well, I hope they do!

Hey Lindsey,

Thanks for your interest in our plugins! I’ll address your items in order:

is it possible or do you offer further customization to calendar or would we need to hire our own developer?

We offer no customization services, and cannot provide any support for customizations. You will need to hire a developer. We happen to have a list of well-reviewed developers who our customers have used in the past right here → https://theeventscalendar.com/find-a-customizer

For the ticket sales where can I see a sample of how that works?

We don’t have an official demo at this time, unfortunately. http://wpshindig.com/events is our official demo site, but tickets are not sold there. You can purchase a license, try out a ticketing plugin, and then just get a full refund for it if you’re not satisfied as long as it’s within 30 days from the date of purchase.

Do customers add ticket/s to a cart?

Yes, customers add tickets to a card by default.

We sell seats to painting classes would they be able to purchase multiple classes at one time? Is there a way to contact everyone going to that event with updates?

Yes to both things here – users can by as many tickets to as many different events as they’d like, and you get all of their information at checkout in an “Attendees List” for the event, which you can access in the admin of your site and can definitely use for contacting folks via email, phone, etc.

Do you provide phone support?

We do not 🙂

I hope all this helps – cheers!

Hey Jordan,

Sorry you’re having these issues – I’m curious about what exactly you mean here when you wrote this, however:

I know to check for plugin conflict and that is not the issue nor is it a theme issue, as our theme has always worked along side the plugin with great success. There also seems to be some weird styling occurring.

It seems like you might not have actually tried changing your theme, and are just assuming it works because it has in the past. Is this correct? It’s no worries if so! But if so, then please truly activate a default theme like Twenty Twelve, Twenty Fourteen, etc.

Then try reproducing this error in events, and let us know what you find.

A theme or plugin conflict is currently the most likely source of the problem for three reasons:

1. The problem is odd and only affects one field, while other fields are fine.
2. I cannot reproduce this error.
3. You mention there being “weird styling changes”, which I also do not notice.

Let us know what you find!

Thanks,
George
