Hey Keith,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I just checked out your site. I’ve never heard of Dragon Boating but it looks awesome!

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to create the type of scenario you’re describing with The Events Calendar where events from one site will automatically sync to another. If you would like, you can suggest that feature on our User Voice page.

In the meantime here are a couple of suggestions that I can offer:

1. <span style=”line-height: 13px;”>We do have an RSS feed that you could use to pull in some basic data from each event. It won’t be complete information or complete Events Calendar functionality but it could be useful.</span>
2. You could set a routine where you export the events from one site and then import them into the second. This definitely isn’t automated but would give you complete functionality and data between the different sites.
3. If you’re using multisite, you could attempt to have the events pull from the individual sites on a central parent site. I haven’t tried this but if you like I can see if anyone else on our support team has seen a similar situation.

Sorry I wasn’t able to give you a direct answer but hopefully this will help get you in the right direction.

Thanks!

Hey Matt,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Having social icons automatically display on the events page is great idea! If you would like you can vote for that feature to be added to the plugin.

Until then, you can accomplish this by using our Themer’s Guide to modify the single event display to include the necessary code for the Like button. For the code needed, you can create your button to be added to the template using this helpful tool from Facebook.

Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.

Thanks!

Hey Michael,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

That is definitely a strange behavior for the plugin. Do you happen to notice wrong dates being displayed anywhere else on the site or in any other emails?

As a first step in diagnosing, have you completed the testing for conflicts instructions to see if there is potential plugin or theme conflict?

Sorry I wasn’t able to give you a direct solution but hopefully we can narrow it down by completing the steps in the linked tutorial. Let me know how the testing goes.

Thanks!

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

By chance, have you tried using this snippet to get the widget to display the number of events that you need? I’ve tested it with the latest version and it appears to be working perfectly.

I checked on the ticket and it appears that it is still in the queue. Priority is given to feature requests based on their popularity and amount of demand. Unfortunately this feature has had little demand. If you would like, you can vote for this feature on our uservoice page.

For now I’m going to go ahead and close this ticket. If you have any further questions or another response on this topic, please open a new ticket. This will ensure that we’re able to respond as quickly as possible.

Thanks!

Hey Owen,

I’m happy to have been able to help!

We don’t do any specific support for customizations of themes but to point you in the right direction on removing the “read more” from the theme, it looks like the developer is using a “function_exists” check before each of those functions. This means you should be able to create the function with the same name in your theme (or a plugin) that has that string returning empty like your previous code snippet.

I’ll go ahead and close this ticket but if you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to open another ticket.

Thanks!

Hey Tim,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with The Events Calendar working with your menu. I took a look at your site and I can see that there definitely is something funny going on with the menu.

I inspected the menu element and it appears that the “News” menu item is being highlighted because of it being seen as a parent page of the calendar.

As a first test, is there a page on your site called “Calendar” that is a child of the News page? If so, try removing or renaming that page (renaming the slug as well). You could also check how the “Calendar” menu item is being added to the menu under the “Appearance” -> “Menus” section in your dashboard. If it is being added as a custom link it should be receiving the proper classes and highlighting like normal.

Finally, you could test the current configuration with a default theme (following the testing for conflicts instructions here) to see if the highlighting goes back to normal on the default theme. This will help us determine if  it is a conflict with your current theme.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to give a direct answer but hopefully after testing these few things we can get this issue sorted out for you.

Thanks!

Hey Owen,

Sure thing!

There are 2 approaches you can take to remove the “Find out more” from the events list.

1. You could follow the instructions in the Themer’s Guide and copy the “views > list > single-event.php” file into your theme and remove this link from the bottom of the file :

   <a href="<?php echo tribe_get_event_link() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php _e( 'Find out more', 'tribe-events-calendar' ) ?> &raquo;</a>

2. A much simpler approach would be to hide it using CSS. Within your theme’s CSS, you can include the following, “.tribe-events-read-more { display: none; } ” and this will prevent it from displaying on your site.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Awesome! Happy to be able to help.

If you have a few moments, we would would love it if you took a second to review our plugin on the WordPress repository.

Hey,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

There is a checkbok within “Events” -> “Settings” under the “General” tab that allows you to select whether or not you would like events to be included in the main blog loop for your site. You can see the option here https://cloudup.com/c52ciY7aEtc. If you select this checkbox it should allow your events to display with your other posts.

Let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with as you make your decision in upgrading to Pro.

Thanks!

Hey,

Thanks for the links!

I checked out the site and it definitely looks like the events are displaying out of order. I tested the code you provided on my local install and found that the calendar displays events chronologically without regard to post date so I do not believe the issue is with the code you have used.

By chance, have you followed the steps in our testing for conflicts section? This can help to narrow down what may be causing the issue.

One additional thing we could try. I noticed that this widget area is within the content block. Was it added manually to the template? If so, you could try adding “wp_reset_postdata()” above the included widget area to ensure the previous loop isn’t interfering with the calendar.

Let me know if any of this helps. Sorry I wasn’t able to give you a direct solution but hopefully these suggestions will help to get this cleared up for you.

Thanks!

Hey Chris,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Sure thing! We actually have a way built into the calendar that allows you to display your past events.

If you visit the URL for your main calendar page (which defaults to yourdomain.com/events/) and add “past” at the end of that URL ( becomes yourdomain.com/events/past) you’ll have a list of all of your past events. You can then link directly to this URL.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Hey Owen,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Having a “read more” link at the end of an excerpt isn’t default WordPress functionality and sounds like something that is being added by your theme.

Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing how your theme is adding this element although your approach of filtering the_excerpt seems like the right starting point.

This may not work, but I did make a couple of minor revisions to your code example that may help https://gist.github.com/BeardedGinger/ae8ca5398cdfcb7ec011.

If that doesn’t work, I can help you in removing the “Find out more” link being added by The Events Calendar plugin.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to give you a more direct solution. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

Thanks!
