Hi Alan,

Unfortunately this is not currently a feature that is available out of the box. You can customize the template that displays the Organizer section on the single event view (found at wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/organizer.php) by following the instructions in our themer’s guide. From there, you can edit the the link for the organizer name.

A simple solution here may be to add something like the following to the template, using the organizer’s email field as the link:

">I'm interested!

Let me know how that works and if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Fernando,

Thanks for checking out our plugins!

The Events Calendar (the free version) comes with a default calendar page, which you can display in month, list, or day view. With the Events Calendar Pro, you can also display events around your site (with the ability to apply filters) using widget shortcodes or full calendar view shortcodes, and you also have three additional views: week, map, and photo.

Unfortunately there is not currently an out-of-the-box way to prevent new events from being created if the time overlaps with an existing event. It would be possible to customize the plugin to work this way – I’d recommend taking a look at our themer’s guide if you’d like to give this a shot! As a Pro license holder, you would have access to our Premium Support Forums. While we are not able to do customizations for you, we are happy to answer questions and help point you in the right direction!

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to test them out! If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Abi,

Thanks for reaching out! I’m glad to hear you’re liking The Events Calendar so far!

1) We’d like to include recurring events – I believe pro can do this?

Absolutely! I would recommend taking a look at this article for more detailed info on the recurring events feature.

2) We’d like a filter bar that can filter by type of event but also Town location (not venue location) – can the filter bar do this?

Filter Bar will let users filter by categories and tags, and also by country, state, and city. You can see a live demo of this by clicking “Show Filters” over on wpshindig.com.

3) We’d like visitors to the site to be able to submit their own events to the calendar for approval and sell tickets – is this possible?

Yes! Community Events will let users submit events via a front end form, and they can sell tickets using Community Tickets (Event Tickets Plus is also required for Community Tickets to work). You do have the ability to choose the status that submitted events go into, so you can choose “Draft” to be able to review events before you publish them to the main calendar.

4) We’d like to be able to take commission on their ticket sales – how would this work?

This is also possible with Community Tickets. This article has more details on the types of fees you can collect and how they can be set up.

5) People that submit events to the calendar have asked us if they can also create tracked affiliate links – is this possible with an addon?

Neither Community Events nor Community Tickets has any specific link tracking functionality, but you may be able to use a third party plugin to add this feature.

I can definitely see how this feature would be useful, so I would recommend posting it over in our Feature Ideas Forum. This is what we use to gauge user interest in new features and help guide future development efforts.

6) We’d like people to be able to favourite events and review them also – is this an addon?

There is a setting that will allow you to enable/disable event posts, but there is not currently an option to add events as favorites. Again, you may be able to get this functionality using a third-party plugin (I did a quick search and found this one, but I have not tested it out).

We do offer full refunds within 30 days if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to test out some of our premium plugins/add-ons and see if they’ll work for you! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Alan,

Thanks for reaching out!

To remove the additional information, you can follow these instructions to copy the organizer template (found at wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/views/modules/meta/organizer.php) into your child theme and remove the following code block:

if ( ! $multiple ) { // only show organizer details if there is one
if ( ! empty( $phone ) ) {
?>
<dt>
<?php esc_html_e( 'Phone:', 'the-events-calendar' ) ?>
</dt>
<dd class="tribe-organizer-tel">
<?php echo esc_html( $phone ); ?>
</dd>
<?php
}//end if

if ( ! empty( $email ) ) {
?>
<dt>
<?php esc_html_e( 'Email:', 'the-events-calendar' ) ?>
</dt>
<dd class="tribe-organizer-email">
<?php echo esc_html( $email ); ?>
</dd>
<?php
}//end if

if ( ! empty( $website ) ) {
?>
<dt>
<?php esc_html_e( 'Website:', 'the-events-calendar' ) ?>
</dt>
<dd class="tribe-organizer-url">
<?php echo $website; ?>
</dd>
<?php
}//end if
}//end if

Automatically populating the organizer field with the user’s username would require a more advanced customization, but our themer’s guide would be the place to start if you’d like to give it a shot! We also have a list of recommended developers if you’d like to get some help with the code.

Please let me know how that works for you and if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out!

The Events Calendar comes with the Events List widget, and we do have some additional widgets that come with Events Calendar Pro, including the ability to display them with shortcodes.

I would recommend taking a look at this article, which gives an overview of the widget that comes with The Events Calendar as well as those that come with Pro.

We do offer full refunds within 30 days of purchase if you’re not satisfied with the products, so feel free to give Pro a test run and see if it offers widgets that will meet your needs! If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Cary,

Thanks for reaching out! You can find the main query at wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/src/Tribe/Query.php.

Adding a custom field to events will require a bit of a customization – I would recommend taking a look at our themer’s guide as a starting point. You may also want to look into the custom fields that come with Events Calendar Pro, which could save you some serious development time if they will do what you need!

If you get stuck or have any questions, please let me know!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for reaching out!

There is not currently an out of the box way to do this, but you could accomplish it with via a customization. Try adding the snippet from this post to the functions.php file of your child theme, replacing the category slugs (look for ‘terms’ => array( ‘concert’, ‘convention’ ) ) that are currently there with the ones you want to exclude from the main calendar. In this particular example, the categories are being excluded from the list and month views. You can change that by either changing the view (for example replacing “list” with “photo” or adding/removing the conditions (look for $query->query_vars[‘eventDisplay’] == ‘list’). Let me know if you have any questions on this…if you are not familiar with PHP, you may want to do this in a testing site first until you get it working the way you’d like. Our themer’s guide is also a great place to look for help when doing customizations like this.

To then display these events elsewhere on your site, you can use the shortcodes that come with Events Calendar Pro. However, please note that both the main calendar and the shortcodes use the same views. So if you exclude a category from a particular view (say list view for example), it will not show up on the main calendar page in list view or on other pages where you may be using a shortcode to display events in list view.

Let me know how that works for you!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi there,

I just checked on the internal ticket, and unfortunately I don’t have an update yet as it is still pending development. We have a large volume of tickets at the moment (bug fixes, enhancements, new features, performance improvements, etc.) in the queue, and unfortunately the developers have not had a chance to get to this one yet. I’m sorry about the delay here!

The other ticket should still be open (it’s in “Pending Fix” status on my end)…is it not allowing you to post there? It should stay open until the issue is resolved, but please let me know if it’s not letting you post anymore. I can link this thread to our internal ticket as well to make sure that you get notified as soon as there is an update.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi Jason,

Thanks for reaching out!

This feature is something that several users like to use to help engage other users in the event without giving away information that they may want to be kept private. I can see your point though about the result not being extremely useful in some cases.

While there are not currently any other out of the box settings (besides the ones you mentioned) to change the way it displays, you can hide the option to opt out of being included in the public list by adding the following to the Custom CSS area under Appearance > Customize (if you have one) or to the style.css file of your child theme:

tr.tribe-tickets-attendees-list-optout {
display: none !important;
}

To display the other information that you mentioned (names, tickets purchased, and additional fields), you would need to do a customization. We are not currently able to do customizations for you, but our themer’s guide has some great info on customizing our plugins. Additionally, we are always here to answer questions and help point you in the right direction if you get stuck! The template for the attendees list can be found at: /wp-content/plugins/event-tickets-plus/src/views/attendees-list.php. This example may also be helpful as a starting point in adding in attendee names.

Finally, I would also recommend posting this as a feature request over in our Feature Ideas Forum, which is what we use to gauge user interest in new features and help plan future development efforts.

I’m sorry I don’t have a more straight-forward answer on how to achieve what you’re looking for, but please let me know if that helps and if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out!

Are you using Community Events? If so, are you wanting organizers to be able to view the attendees for events that you’ve created for them, or did you still want certain users to be able to create their own events?

If you can clarify this a little bit, I’ll be happy to see what I can recommend! This article would also be a good place to start.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out!

Since you’re using WooCommerce, the best way to do this would be to create coupons within Woo that you could then send out to your users.

You could create separate free tickets, but hiding them from the front end would require a customization. If you’d like to go this route, I would recommend taking a look at our themer’s guide, which has some great info on customizing our plugins.

Let me know how that works for you and if you have any questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer

Hi David,

Thanks for reaching out! If you go to our Contact page and select “Help accessing my account” from the dropdown menu, we’ll be happy to do what we can to help you out with this from there!

Thanks,

Glad to hear it Robert!

I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but please feel free to open a new one if you have any other questions!

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out! For Event Aggregator, there is not actually anything that you need to download. If you go under Events > Settings > Licenses > Event Aggregator, enter your key, and click “Save Changes”, you should then see additional options appear in the Import Origin dropdown under Events > Import (see screenshot). Sorry for the confusion there!

Let me know if that works for you!

Thanks,

Jennifer

[Jennifer]

Hi Steven,

Since ET+ uses WooCommerce/Easy Digital Downloads to handle the checkout process, coupons would need to be set up within those platforms (our plugins do not currently have any discount functionality).

For future reference, this article has some instructions on reordering tickets.

I’m glad to hear you were able to get this resolved! I’ll go ahead and close out this thread, but please feel free to open a new one if you come up with any other questions!

Thanks,

Jennifer
