Thanks for your feedback Chetan. It’s an interesting dilemma, because if there is only one category, then the category is by definition not necessary.

In other words, categories are used to separate different types of events, but if there is only one type of event (as indicated by there being only one category), then no differentiation is needed and thus the category itself is not needed. It would serve no actual purpose other than aesthetic ones.

So because of this, I don’t personally think that these features are something that would or should be built into the plugin. That does not mean that we want to hinder your use of our plugin, however, and though we can only provide limited support for customizations I’m happy to field as many questions about this as I can, and help you along if possible.

I hope some of the information I’ve already shared in my above reply helps – let us know if you have any further specific questions or concerns about this.

Thank you,
George

Nice! Keep a good backup of any custom styles like this (and your site and database in general!), and you should be good to go 🙂

Best of luck with your site,

Thanks for the link here, and for your patience with this issue. I checked out your site, and while there wasn’t much that has so far immediately jumped out as the source of this problem, there does seem to be, in general, some poorly-constructed JavaScript on your site.

Several notices / console alerts were thrown on any page I went to on your site, but only a few outright errors.

I have two steps I can think of from here:

1. Can you link directly to an event that has multiple tickets for sale on your site? I tried navigating through events but only found ones with one ticket option for sale.

2. Is it possible to do what I mentioned in my original ticket? Here’s a quote of what I’m referring to, for reference:

If possible, could you also have your site in the “Testing for Conflicts” state, where a default theme like Twenty Twelve is active and NO plugins are active except Events Calendar (and PRO if you have it), WooTickets, and WooCommerce?

Thank you!

Hi Helen,

The essence of your problem is what you wrote here:

I want to activate my license for events pro on my free version but there is no license tab to input the activation code

You cannot enter the PRO license without installing and activating PRO first.

Once you install and activate PRO, a license tab should then appear in the settings page for Events.

You can access PRO plugin files any time at http://theeventscalendar.com/my-account/downloads

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hi Carl,

Thanks for the update, I’m glad I could help despite our support policy limitations! As for your questions about completely disabling the Venues post type, this is not recommended and could cause problems with your calendar functionality that cannot be supported here on the forums. I’d recommend just using some custom Admin-facing CSS to hide the Venue-related elements from your meta boxes and such – research “adding custom CSS to wordpress admin” online if you’re not familiar with doing this.

However, if that’s not quite enough and you would like to truly remove the “Venues” post type, the simplest option is to look for this line of code in the core plugin files for the free version of The Events Calendar:

register_post_type( self::VENUE_POST_TYPE,apply_filters( 'tribe_events_register_venue_type_args', $this->postVenueTypeArgs ) );

If you remove this line of code, the Venues will not exist in the admin any longer.

Best of luck with these customizations!

Hey Richard,

By “ticketing extension”, I meant any of our ticketing add-ons available here → https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets

Apologies for not being super clear about that! As for the “$10-65” example, I might not have been super clear about that either and apologize for that, too. Let me clarify:

If you do have a ticketing add-on active, then you can create as many “tiers” / ticket prices for an event as you’d like. The highest ticket price will be used for the “cost” display, and you will not have a custom “Event Cost” field where you could enter something manually like “$10-65”.

If you do not have a ticketing add-on active, however, then that Event Cost field will be available to you, where you could enter something “$10-65” or “$10, $25 or $65” even.

I hope this information helps!

Hi Martin, yes, to get both sets of features you would need both plugins.

Let us know if this helps or if you have any other questions! 🙂

Your question is genuinely not stupid at all Stephanie – I’m a “professional” at this, and recently made a similar mistake with a custom taxonomy that works similarly to the issue I explained here. It’s an easy mistake to make!

Best of luck with your site 🙂

Glad to help Charlotte, and great catch on the incorrect usage of the : where there should’ve been a ; – I’m sorry I missed that!

As for adding a link around Tango, I’m sorry to disappoint, but this sort of customization is a bit more involved than the minor CSS tweaks mentioned above.

There are a few different ways you can go about doing that. First is to edit the “Organizer” templates directly, and where the tribe_get_organizer() function is called, simply wrap this text in a Link tag. To generate the href itself is the tricky part. If you need to be able to do this automatically for every new organizer you have on your site, then you might want to add metadata to the Organizer taxonomy itself – then query for that meta around the tribe_get_organizer() function calls.

For information on how to do that, your best bet is to google for good tutorials about adding that data – there are many, and we don’t officially endorse any, but this tutorial is especially well-done for example: https://pippinsplugins.com/adding-custom-meta-fields-to-taxonomies/

Alternatively, if this is only needed for this one “TANGO” Organizer, then you can just manually add a link tag like above but then just hard-code the href to be whatever link you need.

In either case, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with how to customize things like the “Organizer” meta template, so you can work with this. Learn about template customizations in-depth here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

I’m sorry things aren’t so specific this time, but hopefully the information here helps you get started regardless. If you look through these resources, have a good back-up of your site before you start customizing, and play around with things a bit, I’m sure you’ll be able to put together something useful 🙂

Cheers!

Sounds like a good plan Michael! If spam does become a problem, note that we have a “ReCaptcha” feature right within Community Events that requires a Captcha-solving to submit the form, and there other plugins like Akismet and “honeypot”-style solutions to help further if things get there 🙂

I’ll close up this ticket for now since it seems like you’ve found a decent workable solution here, but if any other issues/questions/concerns arise, come back and open a thread any time!

Best of luck with your site,
George

No problem Chetan! Thanks for understanding the limitations of our support policy.

Cheers,
George
