Hey Farhad,

WPML is not compatible with The Events Calendar even right now, at this present moment, unfortunately. So earlier versions will not be compatible.

We are working hard on improving this compatibility, and since the Community Events ticketing functionality will just “inherit” much (if not all) of its translation capacities from The Events Calendar core, then hopefully when The Events Calendar itself is compatible with WPML all of its add-ons will be, too.

At this time, however, such compatibility does not exist.

Sorry to bear the bad news! Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns 🙂

Hey @th,

To link directly to an event, the default WordPress function get_permalink() should work fine – read more about this function here → https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_permalink

So, at the bottom where you see home_url() used in both the href attribute for <a> tags and in the text for the link itself, you can replace it with get_permalink( $ticket[‘event_id’] )

Try that out and see if it works as well for you as it should!

Cheers! 🙂

Hi Timothy!

These issues are unfortunately stemming from your theme 🙁

To confirm this, you can run through our set of troubleshooting steps here and see if similar issues persist in the themes mentioned here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

If such issues do persist in the themes mentioned in that article, leave that theme active on your site and let us know – we’ll take a closer look at things.

Thanks!

Hi Shea,

Sorry to hear about these issues. Do any errors pop up on your site if you head to your site’s wp-config.php file and change this line of code:

define('WP_DEBUG', false);

to this:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

If so, copy and paste the errors in their entirety into Gists at http://gist.github.com and share links to those Gists in your reply here.

Thank you!
George

Hi John,

I wrote a function a while back that will work well for displaying the stock of tickets that remains for a given event. You can see the function here → https://gist.github.com/ggwicz/31f9d9774e938846d635

If you add that function to your theme’s functions.php file, then wherever you want to display the ticket stock information for an event, just add this where you want the info to display:


<?php example_displaying_stock_information(); ?>


And the ticket stock info will display.

Now, as for where to place this code, if you’re not already familiar with it, please read through our Themer’s Guide to learn about how to override The Events Calendar view in a safe way from within your theme → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

You seem like you’re already familiar with that, so for a list of relevant files for your desired customizations, hopefully this helps:

• “the event post itself” => src/views/single-event.php
• “the list view” => src/views/list/single-event.php
• “in the list widget” => src/views/widgets/list-widget.php

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
George

Hi Svein,

There is CSS on your site that is interfering here. For example, I found this rule of CSS:


.tribe-events-calendar td .tribe-events-viewmore,
.tribe-events-calendar td .type-tribe_events {
display: none;
}


By simply removing that, the events started to show up again in month view, look here → https://cloudup.com/ccLCybuRT2h

I’m not sure where this CSS is coming from – you have a minification plugin active so it combines all the CSS files.

While we do not offer support for theme CSS, or CSS coming from other plugins, if you deactivate your Minification plugin temporarily and let us have a look at your site with it deactivated, we should at least be able to better identify where these CSS rules are coming from.

That will help us identify the source of CSS conflicts which we can share with you and help you move towards fixing or removing them.

Thank you!
George

Hey Sharon,

Unfortunately, no, at this time there is not a shortcode to do this 🙁

Sorry to disappoint! Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hey Laura,

Yes, all you need to run WooCommerce tickets is WooCommerce itself and The Events Calendar, both of which are totally free.

You do not need Events Calendar PRO at all – think of it as just another add-on to The Events Calendar “core” (the free version), just a bunch of extra features that are “nice-to-haves” but are not essential or required for running any other add-ons.

I hope this information helps – let us know if you have any other follow-up questions, comments, concerns, etc. 🙂

Cheers!

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for reaching out, and for even considering our plugins for your catering site – it’s an interesting application of our plugins!

Having each “event” actually be a meal is clever, and may work quite well here in combination with one of our ticketing add-ons. Let me explain:

• You could make each meal an Event, as you said.
• Then, you could use a ticketing add-on to actually sell “tickets” on the “event”, where each ticket is really just an order of that meal.
• During check-out process, users enter their address, phone number, etc.
• Tickets come with both a “Stock” feature, so if there are only 125 total Beef Curries available that day, then you make the “Beef Curry” event, and add a ticket for it, and set the ticket Stock to 125. After 125 are sold, no more can be bought.
• Tickets also come with an “End Sale” date feature – this lets you set a date and time after which the tickets will no longer be for sale. If you only have 125 Beef Curry and can’t accept orders for them after 11:00am on the day it’s available, just set the stock to 125, the “End Sale” date to the date of the event itself, and the “End Sale” time to 11:00am.

I hope this information helps!

Next, ended with this comment here:

Please advise if this plug in will work for my application as I do not wish to continually customise my application each time there is an upgrade.

To have everything working as hoped for on your site, some minor customizations may be required – adding a few filters to your theme’s functions.php to change the word “Event” and “Events” to “Meal” and “Meals”. Some template overrides to get things looking just how you want…

However, we built our template overrides system specifically so that it would not need to be re-customized after each upgrade. If you’re curious how it works, check out our Themer’s Guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Using those methods would mean that you can make some minor tweaks to the display of The Events Calendar by adding files to your theme, not to the plugin itself – then, when the plugin gets an update, you simply update the plugin and it all gets updated “underneath” your template overrides with no conflict! 🙂

---

In closing, it does seem like The Events Calendar in combination with a Ticketing add-on for it could work quite well for your site. It’s worth noting that The Events Calendar itself is completely free → http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar/

And that we can refund any purchase without question within thirty days.

So, if you have the time, try out The Events Calendar and a ticketing add-on, play around with a bit, and get a feel for how it will work for you. If it won’t work for you, shoot us an email at [email protected] with your purchase receipt and a link to this very forum thread here, and we’ll issue a refund immediately 🙂

Cheers!
George

Hi Abigail,

There unfortunately is not a filter at this time 🙁

But you can indeed change this quite easily with a template override. First, if you haven’t already, check out the methods for Events Calendar / EDD Tickets template overrides here in our Themer’s Guide → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Using those methods, the file in question for this change is located here in your EDD Tickets plugin files:


/src/views/eddtickets/tickets.php


There, you’ll see this:


<h2 class="tribe-events-tickets-title"><?php esc_html_e( 'Tickets', 'tribe-eddtickets' );?></h2>

If you just replace that with “Enroll Now” or anything else you’d like, and leave the rest of the file like the original, you should be good to go.


<h2 class="tribe-events-tickets-title">Enroll Now</h2>


Let us know if this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey Alan,

Sorry you’ve run into these issues here – not sure exactly why it’s happening. As a fix in the meantime, hopefully, I’d recommend trying to add the following CSS to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


.tribe-events-event-meta.primary .tribe-events-meta-group.tribe-events-meta-group-gmap {
width: 66% !important;
}


You can play around with the exact width number there, of course, but hopefully this helps here.

Let us know if it does!

Thanks,
George

Hey Robert!

Sorry for the mixup. There are two things to clarify here:

First is that Events Calendar PRO and WPEC Tickets are not related. Each one is a separate plugin, each one $89 for its Personal License. You do not need Events Calendar PRO to run WPEC Tickets!

Next is that we’re happy to refund a purchase here if you bought something you don’t need – we’d love to do that, in fact. So, if you only need the functionality of WPEC Tickets and do not need the extra PRO features (recurring events, Map View, etc.), then we can refund your PRO license immediately and then you can buy a fresh WPEC Tickets license any time you want.

Please let me know if this information helps! If not, elaborate on whatever isn’t clear and I’ll try to provide some more detail and such.

Thank you!
George

P.S.

If you’re interested in getting a refund for that Events Calendar PRO purchase as soon as possible, shoot an email to [email protected] with two things:
1. A copy of your original Email receipt for that purchase, and
2. A link back to this forum thread for reference 🙂

Cheers!

[George]

Hey Sharon,

Do you mean the ticket price that’s listed at the top of the page, right under the event title? If so, try adding the following CSS to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:


body.single-tribe_events .tribe-events-divider,
body.single-tribe_events .tribe-events-cost {
display: none !important;
}


Let me know if that helps!

Cheers,
George

Hi @LIYIZHI,

I’m sorry to bear the bad news, but there is unfortunately no default or supported way to change the default Events featured image to a featured video. The customizations required for this are outside the scope of our support forums, though we do a “Themer’s Guide” with instructions on how to make custom The Events Calendar views – this might help so that you can at least customize The Events Calendar files and play around with different methods of adding video sliders, without damaging the core plugin files or losing your customizations the next time you update.

Here’s that themer’s guide → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

As for your final question:

Or is there any other slider which support video function and also read “events” from the theme?

I do not know of any at this time.

Sorry to disappoint! Please let us know if you have any other questions we might be able to help with.

Thanks,
George
