Hi Nick,

The plugin will not auto import old events, only new ones. It looks like your pages have all old events. Am I wrong?

Sweet, glad that worked! Good call, I’ve gone ahead an added an FAQ for the mean time: https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/what-plugin-capabilities-are-there-for-creating-custom-roles/ – we’re planning on doing some documentation updates in the near future so it will make more sense to include this somewhere else then.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi Sarah,

You should see a dialog popup asking you to apply the changes to the current event or all events. Is this not appearing for you?

Hi Daniel,

Very strange! Can you provide me wp-admin credentials so I can take a look behind the scenes? Please email access to pro [at] tri [dot] be, attn. to me and reference this thread.

Thanks,

Hi Rachael,

The only thing you can do at this point is use a plugin like this http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/convert-post-types/ to convert the post type of the regular posts to Events. It won’t migrate over the date/time info so you’ll need to figure out some other way to do that or do it manually.

I hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi Imre,

I just wanted to follow up and let you know our developer who works on the FB plugin is out until Monday and I will do my best to make sure he takes a look at this then.

Sorry for any further delay and inconvenience this may have caused. We’ll get it to as soon as we can.

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi Michael,

I just wanted to follow up and let you know our developer who works on the FB plugin is out until Monday still. I will do my best to make sure he takes a look then. There are other users with a similar issue so it’s become obvious we need to get this fixed.

Sorry for the delay again and inconvenience this may have caused. We’ll get it to as soon as we can.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

We actually add a bunch of our capabilties now. You can see what’s added for admins, editors, etc by looking at /wp-content/plugins/the-events-calendar/lib/the-events-calendar.class.php around line 737. You should be able to take this and model it with your add_role function to setup your custom role.

Does that help?

Hi Corey,

Unfortunately we don’t have any shortcodes. So you’ll need to build a custom query for this. You could also use the Events List Widget as a base for what you are trying to build. You’ll need to build in the functionality for displaying a specific category based upon title, but the widget will at least display the next upcoming event for you.

I hope that helps!

Hi Michael,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this. I’m having our developer assigned to the FB import plugin take a look and he just got back from a company trip. Stay tuned for an update hopefully soon.

Thanks,

Hi Jarod,

One thing to note is that the plugin will not auto import past events, only new ones. Do these pages have new events coming up?

– Jonah

[Jonah]

Hi Mark, can you please post the code you are using to create the new Role so I can test it out locally? Please post to http://snippi.com/ or https://gist.github.com/

Thanks,
Jonah

Hey Corey,

This is definitely doable but something you’re going to need to do most of the legwork on. Essentially you’re going to want to either create a custom query or create a custom widget with the custom query that pulls in the event(s) you need. I’m not quite sure how you would approach pulling in the events from specific categories based upon the article title but using something like http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/posts-to-posts/ would be suggested plugins to help you achieve something like that.

For some examples of custom queries, take a look at our documentation: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/documentation/the-events-calendar-template-tags-general-functions/#functiontribe_get_events – you can also use WP_Query (http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query) by specifying ‘tribe_events’ as the post type.

I hope that all helps!
