Hey Hans,

Damn, in some ways it’s flattering to see so many people stealing your code, but that’s obviously a fleeting emotion as their bad intentions and dishonesty start to sink in 🙁

I’m sure if you trawled around the Web for people doing similar things, you’d find dozens, hundreds, likely even thousands of people “stealing” Modern Tribe’s product code for purposes like this…

…However, I put “stealing” in quotes because, while these people are almost certainly being unethical or, at best, dishonest and bad at writing code, the GPL license which our code is licensed under is quite accommodating and affords many, many liberties to anyone who gets their hands on our code.

So there’s very little we can actually do about people like you report here. Worrying about each case is more or less futile.

Now, that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate you reporting this stuff to us. Seriously: thank you! Thanks for being concerned about it at all.

I hope you check your email soon for a little email from our team here 🙂

Thank you for reporting this stuff Hans!

Hey Ben,

The easiest way to do this, by far, is to use the same principles and functions in our official knowledgebase article on the topic – check that out here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/relabeling-the-venue-organizer-sections-in-event-meta/

However, to only limit the change to Single Events pages like you asked, just tweak the code mentioned there to this instead:

add_filter('tribe_organizer_label_singular', 'ben_change_single_organizer_label' );
add_filter('tribe_organizer_label_plural', 'ben_change_plural_organizer_label' );

function ben_change_single_organizer_label( $label) {
	if ( is_single() && tribe_is_event() ) {
		return 'Organiser';
	}

	return $label;
}
  
function ben_change_plural_organizer_label( $label ) {
	if ( is_single() && tribe_is_event() ) {
		return 'Organisers';
	}

	return $label;
}

That should do the trick just fine – if you need more specific controls over the single Organizer template, or any other part of The Events Calendar-generated front-end views, check out our themer’s guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Cheers!

Hey Giles,

The “Export to Google” links indeed usually look quite long, because the link is sending a whole description to Google to populate its “Event description” textarea.

Though long, and maybe a little ugly admittedly, the links should work fine. The customizations you’ve made seem to be the source of your problems here.

We don’t offer support for customizations, but I’d happy to take a quick look into things see what’s going on here first before simply turning you away!

So with that in mind: what specific customizations have you made so far? Have you edited core plugin files of The Events Calendar?

If you can post your customizations – in un-edited, whole files – in various Gist at http://gist.github.com, then share links to those Gists so we can look through some of your custom code, we might be able to recommend some tweaks to improve the compatibility of your tweaks.

Thanks!
George

Hey John,

Something like you described would be possible for you to build yourself, or for you to hire someone to build for you, but it is not a default feature of the plugin.

If you’re curious about what goes into customizing The Events Calendar, you might find our official Themer’s Guide helpful as far as how simple it is to customize views like the Photo View 🙂 Check out the Themer’s Guide here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Cheers!

Hey @tkwalker,

The Community Events add-on should show all Event Venues on your site – everything in Events > Venues in your admin should show up there. It does not limit the list of venues to only ones created by the submitting user previously.

Are you referring to other venues outside of this specific post type on your site? If not, and your Events Venues themselves are being truncated on the “Submit” page for community event, then I’m curious: have you made any code customizations anywhere on your site? If so, what are they?

Let me know what you think here – and apologies in advance if I misunderstood your issue or something!

Hey Dujon,

I’m sorry about your web developer leaving you abruptly like that – having been in your shoes before, it can be quite frustrating.

Fortunately, even though there is very little we can do about code conflicts with other plugins or themes, many of the “The Events Calendar”-related plugins you have on your site are not official plugins from Modern Tribe, and are also NOT required for The Events Calendar itself to run correctly – or run at all, in fact.

So you should be able to deactivate those fine.

If the plugin listing in your admin does not say “By Modern Tribe, Inc.”, it’s not an official plugin 🙂 And The Events Calendar has no dependencies, it can run entirely by itself on your site.

I hope the information here helps – let us know if it does, or if you have further questions or concerns.

Thanks!
George

Hey @tkwalker!

You can indeed style the organizer and venue pages however you’d like, and are encouraged to do so. We cannot offer support for customizations, however, so making custom styles and custom additions to the templates themselves is something you’ll mostly have to take the reins on.

With that being said, we’re happy to help as much as possible, and if you have one or two specific questions that we can help with let us know.

One great resource for making the sort of customizations you’re describing is our official Themer’s Guide, which you can find in full here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Give that a read and let us know if this helps!

Thanks,
George

Hey Filipi!

Thanks for contacting us. At this time, there is no core functionality that enables the coloring of categories – however, there’s an unofficial, un-supported plugin that a friend of Modern Tribe and a core developer here both made on the side, and many customers have used it and love it.

It’s called “Events Calendar Category Colors” and can be found on the free WordPress.org plugins repository here, check it out! → https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar-category-colors/

I hope that helps – you can test it with the free version of The Events Calendar first and not have to buy anything, so definitely play around with these plugins and see if it will work well for you and your site 🙂

Cheers!

Hey Seth,

Thanks for reaching out to us here. There are several ways to go about hiding the “All Events” link on your site, and as you mentioned, editing PHP is indeed one option.

However, a much simpler option, and one I’d recommend, is to just hide the link with CSS – you can do this by simply adding the following code to the bottom of your theme’s style.css file:

p.tribe-events-back {
    display: none !important;
}

That should help – let us know if it does, or if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks,
George

Hey Barbara,

Sorry for your troubles here, this behavior is indeed quite odd and could be the result of a wide range of potential issues on your site.

To help narrow down the possible culprits of this problem, can you first run through the troubleshooting steps outlined in our knowledgebase article here? → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/testing-for-conflicts/

There’s a lot of great information there, and if you follow all of those steps, it should reveal or rule out a large number of possible theme or plugin conflicts on your site.

Let us know what you find!

Thanks,
George

Hey Barbara,

Thanks for reaching out to us here.

I’m a bit uncertain about what exact changes you’re trying to make here, but I’ll throw out some ideas based on what you’ve written and hopefully we can go from there – for example, if what you’re trying to do is simple <b>replace</b> the code you posted with some code that displays the value of that meta field, then the following code should do:

echo sanitize_text_field( get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_ecp_custom_2', true ) );

If you’re trying to do something more complex with the email templates, let me know about it in more detail. We can only provide very limited support for customizations and custom code, but we might be able to at least offer some specific advice that will help you get started before taking the reins yourself.

One last thing worth sharing is our official Themer’s Guide – it has a lot of information about customizing templates like you’re aiming to do here → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/themers-guide/

Cheers!

Hey @photodb,

I’m sorry about your frustrations with this issue – can you share a link to your original first post about this issue?

Normally, if the “Save Changes” on the permalinks settings page fixed your issues, this is only necessary to do after you update a theme or plugin on your site, or update WordPress core – also, of course, if you change the rewrite rules or install something new, you may have to also do the same trick.

It should definitely not be a daily thing, or even a weekly thing.

Let me know if this helps!

Hey Kavi,

We unfortunately do not have any “Seating Chart” features, or plans to add that at this time. Sorry if that’s a disappointment!

As for your concerns about Eventbrite, it can indeed be costly to pay their fees. Many people use our other ticketing add-ons specifically to avoid such fees – you can look into these other ticketing add-ons here if you’re interested → https://theeventscalendar.com/tickets/

Cheers,
George

Hey Mark,

Sounds like a cool project you’re working on – unfortunately, all of the questions you asked here are not related to (or, therefore, built into) our events and ticketing plugins. The various questions you asked here are related to whichever ecommerce platform you choose on your site as the tool to sell tickets with in the first place.

Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks!
George

Hey Max,

Can you share a link to where you originally posted about this? Just curious for reference.

As for actually doing this, it may indeed be technically possible, but is quite an extensive customization.

Just to be clear, do you only mean limiting the number of days on the Community Events front-end, or do you also mean limiting the amount globally in the admin-area of your site?

Thanks,
George
