Hello Kristina,
You’ve got a couple of questions there so let’s take one at a time.
First, you asked can you filter/display events by location. Yes. With The Events Calendar plugin, you’ll be able to include your locations (we call them venues) and build pages for each of them separately. To be clear, the events would all be in one “calendar” but you’d be able to filter what was displayed on a page by venue, or category if you chose that approach instead. So the answer to your first questions is yes – with the free The Events Calendar plugin.
The answer to your second question is also yes, you can have a sidebar widget that displays upcoming events for a particular category of events. However, to do that you’ll need the Events Calendar PRO plugin (the premium plugin). Actually, it’s nearly a choice of a dozen configurations of what can be included the sidebars. I would think that you’d be able to find at least one that would work for you.

Hi Brian,
Hmmm… that’s an interesting question. Our WooCommerce: Tickets add-on doesn’t do that out of the box. You can set a cap per ticket type, but the system isn’t able to configure a cap across multiple ticket types at the moment. And while we don’t do customizations, I would think it would be possible to do with some tweaks. Perhaps you could find a developer to help you if you’re not comfortable doing that yourself?
I might also encourage you to share this on our Features Ideas page https://tribe.uservoice.com/forums/195723-feature-ideas. I would think other folks are in this situation as well and it might be something we could look at adding in the future.

Hi maze,
I want to make sure I understand your setup. When you say you are developing locally, do you have an active Internet connection? You would need to be online to pull information from Facebook. (You know I had to ask.)
Assuming that you are online, then it’s possible it could be a limitation of the Facebook API. There are some content restrictions that we’ve come across such as cigar bars, gentlemen’s clubs, and the like that have been unable to import their events. As you can imagine, the Facebook API is not something we have control over.
Could you try importing an event from a non-bar establishment? I’d like to hear one way or the other, if that worked for you.

Hey thoand,
Thanks for checking in regarding the Facebook import bug. It is on our radar. We keep a list of bugs we’re working on over at https://theeventscalendar.com/bug-hunting/ if you want to keep track of it there.
Since it is a known bug, we are working on patching it. While we cannot guarantee which maintenance release will address this issue, we are optimistic that the patch is nearly complete and will be released in an impending maintenance build very soon. Hang in there!

Hi Cintia,
Yes, there were some significant changes made to the translation files in the recent update. Since the PT_BR files in pre-3.0 versions were translated by a different community member than the ones in the current release, there are going to be inconsistencies. Luckily, you have a couple of options.
You could either take the existing file and make the necessary changes/additions that you see fit. Or you could make your own file and have control over exactly what’s in it. Either way, you can find information on how to do that over at https://theeventscalendar.com/faqs/can-i-translate-your-plugins-to-my-language/. And we’d love to have you consider sharing your results with the community, If you’d like.
I hope this answered your question. If not, please let me know!

Hi Cintia,
I’m going to move this question over to the PRO forum so someone can point you in the right direction!

Hi Edgar,
The Templatic Nightlife theme does have a great looking calendar/event set up. However to use the Modern Tribe WooCommerce: Tickets plugin, you have to have The Events Calendar plugin installed. The WooCommerce: Tickets plugin in an add-on to that calendar and wouldn’t work with the calendar that is embedded in the Nightlife theme.
My best advice is if you want to stick with the Nightlife theme to keep checking around for WooCommerce add-ons that will do what you need. Or alternatively, you could replace the Nightlife calendars with The Events Calendar and use the WooCommerce: Tickets to help manage the sales load.
If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask!

Hi Luke,
At the present time, while we don’t have a dedicated responsive view, the calendar does look pretty good on mobile devices in a Twenty Twelve theme install. Well, except for the calendar/grid view.
A fellow user did come up with a reasonably easy work around that improved the responsiveness for them over here https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/responsive-calendar-3/ and the specific code can be found here https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/responsive-calendar-3/#post-60242. There was also a recent discussion of another approach over here https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/responsive-calendar-2/ that some people found success with.
We’re actually working on a dedicated responsive layout at the moment for release sometime in the near future. However, we don’t have a specific timetable for it. In the meantime, I hope these customizations do the trick for you.

Hi again Jorge,
Since WooCommerce: Tickets simply adds ticketing capabilities to calendar events, I don’t believe there should be a conflict with your other plugin. However, we haven’t done any testing of that plugin, so I can’t guarantee anything.
WooCommerce: Tickets treats tickets to events as any other product that WooCommerce handles. Since the other plugin appears to interact with the checkout process, which is handled by WooCommerce, it seems unlikely that they would conflict. Plus, there haven’t been many conflicts with the WooCommerce add-on reported, so I would give it a try.
I hope that helps. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask!

Hi snowdpd,
This is a problem some other folks have reported too. There’s been a discussion regarding it over at https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/webmaster-tools-flooded-with-404s and an answer was presented specifically over here https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/webmaster-tools-flooded-with-404s/#post-55393. It seems to have helped other users.
Can you give that a try and see if it does the trick for you? Let us know how you get on.
We’ve optimized the code in the latest release and are doing more to update it in the forthcoming build, so it should be addressed soon.

Hello Jorge,
Our WooCommerce: Tickets plugin utilizes all the powers of WooCommerce to produce reports and other sales information. What our plugin would allow you to do is add the dance classes to a calendar and then purchase “tickets” to that class to be checked out through the WooCommerce system.
The WooCommerce: Tickets plugin requires both The Events Calendar PRO and the WooCommerce plugins to function. There’s no way to use just part of it. But a list of people who purchased the tickets to a particular event (class) is certainly available in the form of our built-in Attendee Lists for each event.
I hope that answered your questions. If not, just let us know!

Hello gurban308,
Hmmm… I don’t the the Community Events plugin is going to do what you’d like. You’re looking to have venue coordinators post and manage events, whereas the Community Events plugin allows visitors to post events on the calendar.
Unless you were willing to give all your venue coordinators admin access where they would have control of all the events on the calendar (and more), you might want to look at a role manager plugin that would allow you to create a custom role and then give it access to custom post types (like events). You’ll have to look elsewhere to find that.
Also, we do have plans to finish working on a Conference Manager add-on that we started at one point. It might better help you accomplish your end goals here. There is no scheduled release date for it, but if you keep an eye on our social media sites we’ll certainly be announcing a beta whenever we pick up development there again.
Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Shima,
The WooCommerce: Tickets plugin requires latest version of The Events Calendar to be installed before you can use it. So unfortunately, it would not work with the time.ly calendar.
This is where I can tell you how great The Events Calendar is and hey, it’s even free! 🙂
If you have any other questions, just let us know!

Hey there Domonic,
Let’s see if I understand this correctly… you want to not only sell tickets to events, but also other products as well (such as donations or sponsorships)? In the same transaction?
If that’s the case, the answer is yes! WooCommerce: Tickets considers tickets to events to be “products” like any other that would go in a shopping cart. All with the same WooCommerce shopping experience, and with all the reporting features that are available through WooCommerce. Plus you’ll be able to separate your ticket sales from your other sales (by category) if you want to analyze them separately.
As far as how easy is it to set up, well I’m biased, so I think it’s a piece of cake. But you’ll be able to simply set up events and they will all appear on one calendar. No separate pages for each, although you can view them that way if you’d like. Once the event is entered, there are several ways to view it; find one that suits you.
Why don’t you try the free The Events Calendar plugin and the free WooCommerce plugin? Then add the WooCommerce: Tickets plugin for your ticket solution.
Hope that helps. Let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hello Dan!
You are correct with regards to the Community Events plugin, visitors do not need to be logged in and you can choose to moderate their posts or not. And yes, you will need Events Calendar PRO to schedule recurring events. But all our plugins are designed to work with each other, so no worries there.
As far as simplifying the “Add Event” screen for users, the fields are set by default. You can modify this if you wish by creating a custom template for the form, though.
I’m not sure I’m understanding your comments regarding the front page. I take it that you wanted the calendar to appear on your home page and have found a way to make it happen? If so, great! If not, help me understand what it is you are trying to do there.
I hope that answers your questions, If not, let me know.
