Hi Edgar,
I just replied to your other post, and I apologize that my response here is so similar. Right now, we don’t have a built-in way to show who is coming on the page itself, or to directly integrate with BuddyPress. As I mentioned in the other post, it might be possible with some customization. Smooth integration with BuddyPress is another feature that we are hoping to add in the future and that we have listed on UserVoice for votes.

Hi Jim Joe,
Thanks for your post. I’m not sure I completely follow what you’re looking for, but I’ll do my best to answer 🙂
Have you checked out Event Calendar PRO’s Advanced List widget? You can see all of our widgets here. You can set the Advanced List widget to show only one category of events and to have whatever title you want. So you could potentially use that to showcase events from specific categories on your homepage.
Filter Bar is an option if you want users to be able to search by category from the /events page itself (the main calendar). It’s a great option for calendars with lots of events. You also might want to check out the third-party plugin The Events Calendar Category Colors.
Does that answer your questions?

Hi kelli,
Have you checked out our ticketing plugins? We have five that work with different ecommerce engines, most (if not all) of which can accept PayPal. Your client could have users buy “tickets” for each workshop, and pay that way. Would that meet your needs? You can read more about each ticketing plugin under the Products menu.

Hi Edgar,
Thanks for your post. We don’t have a specific RSVP plugin or feature, although we are considering adding it. We have a UserVoice thread for this feature so you can vote to have us add it in a future build. Adding your vote there will also allow you to stay updated as we work on it.
One option is one of our five ticketing plugins, which allow you to charge for specific events. You can collect the name and information of the person making the purchase. Might that meet your needs? It’s also possible that you could add RSVP functionality with some customizing, but that would be beyond our support capabilities to assist you with. Does that answer your questions?

Hi marcotungerichunddu,
The reason you are seeing words in English is because the translation is a little outdated. All of our plugins are translated by volunteers, and no one has updated the German one since those strings were changed. Would you be interested in updating the translation? That would fix your site and we’d give you a free license in exchange.
If you are interested, check out the Getting Started post where you’ll find the instructions and files you need. If you are not able to translate it, you’ll unfortunately need to wait for someone else to update the files.

Hi Gabriele,
Thank you so much for updating the Community Events translation. I’ll go ahead and add that to the plugin for the next release. I have also ticketed the textdomain issue you noted above so we can get that fixed. Thank you for catching it!

Hi tcoopee,
The reason you are seeing so many words in English is because the translation is outdated. All of our plugins are translated by volunteers, and no one has worked on the French one in a while. Would you be interested in updating the translation? That would fix your site and we’d give you a free license in exchange.
If you are interested, check out the Getting Started post where you’ll find the instructions and files you need. If you are not able to translate it, you’ll unfortunately need to wait for someone else to update the files.
Also, please note that the names of months and days are not translated by our plugin, but by the WordPress translation files. You’ll need to have the latest French translation files installed in order to see those in French.

Hi HC,
Thank you so much for working on those translations. They all look great and I’ve added them to the plugins for the next release.
I double checked the issue with the “View All” link, and it turns out that the string is missing the necessary code to make it translatable. But thanks to you, we will get that fixed as soon as possible- hopefully in the next release. Then it will be available in the .po file.
Meanwhile, you can probably use a a string-specific translation plugin like Say What? to translate just that bit of English. I apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks again for your work on the translations and bringing this little bug to our attention.
I see that you already have a license for PRO and Filter Bar- would you like to try one of our other plugins? Since you earned a free license for all your hard work 🙂

Hi Rob,
Thanks for getting in touch to learn more about this setting. Here is a screenshot showing you what the setting looks like on the backend of a site running Events Calendar PRO. As you can see, the setting is only designed to work on Recurring Events, and the time is measured in months. You can change that to be shorter than the default (say, after an event is 1 month past) but it is not designed to work in minute or even day increments.
If you want to get rid of any expired events and do it faster, I think your best option will be The Events Calendar Housekeeper, a free third-party plugin made on the side by one of our developers. You can set various expiration times and may even be able to customize it to meet your exact needs.
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions for you.

Hi Eva,
Thanks for your post. By default, Events Calendar PRO only uses the one color of pin on the Map View. It may be possible to use different colors with some customizing, but we wouldn’t be able to assist you with that.
It’s a really cool idea though, and I’d love to have you submit your idea on our UserVoice page. That will get it on our radar for future builds.
One solution that might work for you right now is to couple Map View with our Filter Bar plugin. With Filter Bar, your users could sort the events by category, tag, venue, and more- that would narrow down the results shown on the map. Might that work for you?

Hi David,
Thanks for your post. Sounds like a really cool site! There is not a built in way to do this kind of members/public pricing. I know that some users of The Events Calendar and Events Calendar PRO have used custom user roles to makes Members only sites and calendars. It’s possible that a combination of that, some customizing, and/or a WooCommerce extension might be able to achieve what you’re looking for. However, since it’s pretty outside of how the Events Calendar and Tickets plugins are designed, we wouldn’t be able to provide much assistance.
I recommend that you get in touch with the good folks over at WooCommerce and see if they have an idea or extension that could help you. You might also poke around the forums here and see what other people are using to do Members-only sites. Please let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck!

Hi altezalabs,
Thanks for posting. In order to make events and sell tickets using EDD, you’ll want to get our EDD Tickets plugin. You can use it with Events Calendar PRO or with only our core plugin, The Events Calendar. If you’d like to use the Authorize.net payment gateway for EDD, you’d need to purchase that license as well from the EDD website. We don’t sell EDD or the EDD add-ons, only the EDD Tickets plugin that connects it with The Events Calendar. Does that answer you question?

Hi Matt,
Thanks for your interest in our plugins. I’m glad you’re enjoying the core calendar.
I am installing a new theme, and have found that the sidebar widget takes up a huge amount of real estate in the main sidebar on my homepage. How do I adjust the size and spacing of the text?
If you are able and willing to do a bit of customization, you can adjust things like text size and spacing. Your first step will be to read through our Themer’s Guide and then probably to check out our documentation. If you do go PRO, I recommend that you post in our premium forums and we will do our best to point you in the right direction to make those changes.
Also, if I go to the Pro version, is it possible to set up more than one calendar and sidebar widget? For example: One on the homepage with general events, and another calendar and widget to appear on a sports page?
Events Calendar PRO has four different widgets and you can use them multiple times on one site and/or page. It is no possible to literally make two different categories, but you can achieve something similar by using categories and linking directly to them. Check out this tutorial for a description of how that works.
Let me know if I can elaborate further or answer any other questions.
Best,
Leah
