Hey Faith,
The generation of your site’s RSS feed for events is not working as it should be. This could be happening for a number of reasons, but the point is that something on your site is breaking The Events Calendar’s feed there.
These forums here are our “Pre-sales Questions” forums, so we unfortunately cannot work on technical support questions here. It doesn’t currently appear that you have a premium license with us. If this is wrong, and you do have a premium license with us, then apologies for my misunderstanding!
However, in that case please log into the account on this site that has your premium license, and then post this question in a premium support forum.
If you indeed do not have a premium license, then please post your question in our free support forums here → http://wordpress.org/plugins/the-events-calendar
We check those forums a bit more than once per week, so hopefully we will be able to get to your question there. From there we can hopefully try and figure out why the RSS feed is failing to render properly.
Other than the RSS feed, the only other options are the ones I mentioned above in this thread.
Thank you,
GeorgeThe export option is indeed a one-time thing.
True “subscription” is only available in two ways: by activating Event Aggregator (which is built into The Events Calendar), or RSS.
Method One: Event Aggregator
In the next release of The Events Calendar (version 4.5), there is an update to Event Aggregator that will make it so that you can subscribe to a The Events Calendar calendar. (So as long as both the calendar that is being subscribed to and the one doing the subscribing are both running The Events Calendar 4.5!).
Alternatively, you can also use Event Aggregator to run a “scheduled import” that grabs the iCal export version of a The Events Calendar calendar and imports it on the schedule you specify.
You can learn more about Event Aggregator here → https://theeventscalendar.com/product/event-aggregator/
Method Two: RSS
Aside from the Event Aggregator options, there is only the RSS feed option. So if your site is example.com/events, you could “subscribe” to the RSS feed of events by appending /feed/ to the calendar URL, so in this example it would be: example.com/events/feed
I hope this information helps!
GeorgeHey Daniella,
A number of “subscription” and “export” options are indeed provided out-of-the-box. For example, check out our official demo site here → http://wpshindig.com/events
☝️ If you scroll down you’ll see some export links at the bottom of page—these kinds of links are provided out-of-the-box with The Events Calendar, and an RSS feed of events is provided too by going to {site URL}/events/feed.
Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with!

Hey Ghala!
Thanks for reaching out.
When Events Calendar Pro is activated, past events will indeed continue to show — unless you specifically go out of your way to hide them.
Events Calendar Pro is not a different version of The Events Calendar, in the sense that you replace The Events Calendar with it: it is a premium add-on to The Events Calendar. So you activate it alongside The Events Calendar, and both run alongside each other on your site.
↑ I only mention this to underscore the fact that the display of past and future events is handled the same whether Events Calendar Pro is activated or not.
To get a feel for this, head over to our official demo site here → http://wpshindig.com/events Scroll down on that main page and click on previous months, future months, etc. — this will give you an idea for how past events are handled and displayed, etc.
Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with! 😀

Hey Lars,
Thanks for reaching out.
We offer this functionality in a premium add-on to The Events Calendar called “Community Events”. You can learn more about Community Events here: https://theeventscalendar.com/product/wordpress-community-events/
↑ You do not need Events Calendar Pro to use this! You just need the free core plugin, “The Events Calendar”.
Community Events lets folks submit events, and yes, you can manually approve submissions before they get posted to the calendar and such.
Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with.
Cheers,
GeorgeHey Alisa,
To be able to charge money for tickets, you will need to install WooCommerce on your site alongside the ticketing plugins.
I would recommend following each step of the New User Primer here — it covers the full scope of things to get setup with both RSVP and Paid tickets → https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/new-user-primer-event-tickets/
↑ Please check that out and follow each step. It links to other Knowledgebase articles that should be helpful for you here, including this one:
• http://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/tickets-making-a-ticket/
Definitely check out those resources. If you have any questions, come back to our “Event Tickets Plus” forum and open a new thread there with your questions ? https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/forum/event-tickets/event-tickets-plus/
Cheers,
GeorgeHey Lars,
You can create as many event categories as you would like — there is no hard limit set by our plugins or code.
Does this help answer your question? Let me know!

Hey @designapplause,
I am not able to create any issues here, so perhaps salone_2017 or salone2017 would work well. In any case, you should find the slug of the category and try using the slug as it’s recorded in the wp-admin.
I hope that helps!

Hey Robert,
Thanks for reaching out!
A timeline is hard to be certain about, but we’re hoping to roll out some integration with the REST API in the coming months—hopefully before summer is over, but this is of course subject to change.
I don’t have many details now and am sorry about that, but hope this helps a bit. Please let me know if there are any other issues or questions I can try to help with!
Cheers,
George
