Hey René,

Unfortunately, at this time there isn’t a filter or other simple way to change this text. As far as I can tell, the only way to change this text would be to head into the plugin code and modify it directly, which is NOT recommended for a number of reasons – one of those reasons being the fact that when you next update your plugin in the future, the changes will be overwritten.

In the odd case that you’d want to make such a code change – which, again, is very much not recommended and will be undone when you next update the plugin! – you can navigate to the /tribe-community-events/Submission_Handler.php
file in your plugin files. If you head to the save() function in the file, you should be able to find the “Event Submitted” text here. If you really need to modify this, you can edit this text, save the file, and then it should take effect on the front-end.

Sorry to disappoint about there not being a simpler way to do this. Let me know if this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hey Sadiq,

I’m really sorry you feel frustrated here! Can you explain what your exact issues are in detail? It’s not very clear from your original post here. If there are other threads on the forum you’re referencing, please share links to those.

I’m curious for more information about your issues because for the most part, The Events Calendar and Yoast SEO should work well together. We’ll take a closer look at the details of your problem and do our best to help you Sadiq.

Thanks,
George

Hey Jill,

Changing the font sizes or other styles in your widgets will unfortunately require writing some custom CSS, which can either add to your existing theme or add to a child theme.

One example of changing the font sizes is to write CSS like the following:

.tribe-mini-calendar-event .list-info {
    font-size: 14px !important;
    line-height: 1.3 !important;
}

Here’s how that made your widget details look when I tested that on your site → https://cloudup.com/cTlWIKUwQsZ

Play around with styles like this and see what you can do. For being able to customize other styles across your site, I’d highly recommend using a tool like Firebug if you use FireFox, or the Developer Tools for either Safari or Chrome – these tools will let you see what CSS is being applied to specific elements on your page, which will make it a lot easier for you to override them from there.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
George

Hi Aydin,

Thanks for reaching out to us. One way to separate what “type” of events you have is to use “Event Categories”. These can be found in the Events creation pages, like in this screenshot → https://cloudup.com/cqvfBh9NMJ6

These work the exact same way as “normal” Categories for posts and pages within WordPress, and there are also custom Event Tags too, which work like “normal” tags for posts.

Does this seem like something useful for what you’re looking for? If not, let us know more about how you’re trying to differentiate the type of events for your project.

Cheers,
George

Hey Jill,

Sorry you’re having trouble here. I went to the link you provided, but was prompted to provide some login information.

I then tried to submit of my own from the Community submission form, so that I could look at that page without logging in because we cannot log in to customer sites – however, the Anti-Spam features said “Internal server error”, and therefore I was not able to submit an event.

Would you be willing to temporarily disable the anti-spam features so we can try creating a front-end submitted event, and view the “list” page without logging in?

Alternatively, you can test some things on your own: if the buttons are overlapping, it’s likely a CSS-related issue, which means your current theme is the source of that problem. If you’re able to, you can test if this is the case by activating a default theme like Twenty Twelve (or any more recent variant of the default themes, too). See how the buttons look in this theme – if they are not overlapped, but then are again when you re-activate your custom theme, we can confirm your custom theme is the source of the problem. You could then contact your custom theme’s developer for help correcting the CSS there.

Thanks!
George

Hey Jeff,

Sorry you’ve found some frustration here. I went to the link your provided but unfortunately did not find The Events Calendar active on your site.

I’m curious: would you be willing to deactivate other Events plugins on your site, activate The Events Calendar, and share a link with us to your new events page? If so, we can take a closer look at the specific Events Calendar-generated page and try to offer some CSS pointers specific to your theme so that you can achieve what you’re hoping to achieve.

As for your disappointment with the materials on our site here, I’m sorry you found it frustrating. One thing to point out is a sentence I used in the paragraph just above this one: “we can take a closer look at the specific Events Calendar-generated page and try to offer some CSS pointers specific to your theme […]”.

I emphasized the “specific to your theme” part of that sentence because that should help explain a large part of why we don’t have many materials that are just “go here. click this. type that.”, as you described it – there are literally dozens of thousands of themes out there for WordPress, at least 10,000 (and that number is from 2 years ago!). That’s a wonderful thing, but also means that any given WordPress site can be so wildly different from another that we can’t just list some simple CSS tricks on our support site and expect it work for everyone, or even remotely a majority of users.

Every WordPress site is extremely different, so the best solution is honestly to try and field requests on a customer-by-customer basis in the forums, which is what we’re trying to do here 🙂

I hope you can see the limitations of offering “go here. click this. type that.”-style support recommendations, and can try to let us help you out here in this support ticket. There may be just a little bit of CSS needed to achieve what you want, and we’re happy to help!

Thanks,
George

Hi Jacob,

I’m really sorry you’ve been having trouble with this, “frustrating” must be an understatement!

There’s a bunch of information that could be helpful, or at least worth knowing, here, so I’ll ask them in order just to keep things organized:

1. When you say that this is happening “lately”, can you elaborate on some of the details and timeline here? How recently did this start happening? Also, were there any changes you can think of making on your site that immediately preceded this behavior? Any plugin updates, new installations, theme changes, WordPress core updates, anything at all?
2. Are 100% of the events in your system imported from EventBrite? Or do you also have some events that are manually created within WordPress? If you do have some events in your system that are not EventBrite imports, I’m curious: does this behavior effect those events at all, or does it only happen to events that are imported from EventBrite?
3. What version of WordPress are you running on your site?
4. What versions of The Events Calendar, Events PRO, and EventBrite Tickets are you running on your site?

If you can let us know about each of the points above, that’ll be a great start to getting things solved here. I’m really sorry you’ve been experiencing this behavior recently, it’s quite odd and hopefully we can help resolve it promptly.

Thanks Jacob!

Hey Shawn,

Thank you for clarifying your issues here!

These differences unfortunately seem to be stemming from CSS within your theme – I’d recommend contacting your theme developer for help with this.

For example, on the home page, I found the following bit of CSS coming from your theme which is hiding the Event Titles in the widget there, but not on the other page you linked to:

.home .entry-title {
    display: none;
}

So if you add custom CSS to override these styles that are coming from your theme, then one-by-one you should be able to ensure that the widgets are displaying consistently. For example, I tested the following CSS and it worked to ensure that the Event Titles displayed fine in the widget even on the home page:

.tribe-mini-calendar-event .event-title {
    display: block !important;
}

I’m sorry to disappoint here Shawn – the only reason I’m emphasizing the need for CSS overwrites here is that, upon closer investigation, it seems that your theme is correctly loading the same page template for both pages. Here’s evidence of that: on the home page, and on the other the page you linked to.

Let us know if you can get in touch with your theme developer here!

Cheers,
George

Hey Gosia,

No worries! Thanks for clarifying what you’re looking for here.

Unfortunately, making the customization you’re describing here would require a lot of custom code, so much so that it’s a bit beyond the scope of the support we can provide here on the forums. I’m not trying to “upsell” you, but we do have an add-on that offers similar category-filtering tools like you describe → https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-events-filterbar/

Just a suggestion there, sorry to disappoint Gosia. Let us know if you have any other questions or concerns in regards to this topic – if not, I’ll go ahead and close up this ticket.

Glad to hear it Gosia!

Best of luck with your project,
George

Thanks for the kind words Raymond! I hope this helps you out. Play around with it, keep backups of everything just for some added security, and if you think of, select a reply here as the “Correct Answer” (you can see that link by hovering over the specific reply) if the code does, in fact, solve this for you.

For now, I’ll close up this ticket. Don’t hesitate to open another one if other questions or concerns arise.

Cheers!
George

Hey Jason,

If you having just one category displaying in “The List”, you mean the List Widget, then yes, you can have on category there while keeping all the other categories displaying unfiltered in your main “Month” calendar grid.

[George]

Graham, I’m so sorry!

I literally just noticed a really important piece of information, which is the fact that you said your Events plugins are running version 3.0.5.

Before proceeding, even doing any theme-related stuff like I mentioned above, you will need to update both The Events Calendar and Events PRO to the most recent publicly-available versions, 3.9.1.

Let me know how things behave after updating to these versions. This is an absolutely vital step.

Sorry for missing that detail until now!

Hey Graham,

Unfortunately, we really can’t log in to your site or FTP except in extremely rare circumstances. I appreciate you sharing that information but will remove it from your posts for security reasons momentarily.

As for your site – how did things work with the Twenty Twelve theme active? I understand the limitations of your client’s needs, but I’m unable to notice any obvious errors on your site when I visit it with your current theme active. Is there any way you can leave the theme active for about 48 hours or so? Here now over the weekend, hopefully something like that is more acceptable because traffic is usually a lot slower over the weekend.

If you can leave the Twenty Twelve theme active, this is important and helpful because it would allow us to compare the exact functionality and try to spot any errors.

[George]

No problem! Thanks for your patience while I worked on the original code edit to the snippet you posted in your first reply – that took me some time to test and such 🙂

Be sure to keep a backup of the customized code snippet for your site!

Cheers,
George
