Please disregard this question, as it does not apply to the situation we were talking about. While I do still have a problem where my calendar only appears when you actually type the address, I just realized that it would be pointless to have the products show there because I’m trying to avoid listing them altogether.

Thanks again!

Hi George,

Thank you so very much for the very detailed reply! After investigating all of the options you mentioned, I’ve decided to just eliminate the listing of tickets as products on the shop page. (I am not comfortable messing with the codes to the above extent, and the simpler options didn’t pan out.)

The only problem I’m left with is that now, I just want to make the “shop” page point to “calendar” (because when someone clicks “find more tickets,” it still has to go somewhere.) However, even though all the rest of the pages on the entire site come up as an option, the Calendar page does not!

(This is weird, as it does exist: http://www.dbbrewtours.com/calendar but it doesn’t even show up as a page option in my Pages or when creating a menu. I temporarily added it to the menu by using “Add Custom Link” to menu.)

Thanks again for ALL the time and effort you’ve put into helping!

Hi George,

Please accept my apology if I’m misunderstanding. I was under the impression that Woocommerce Tickets was intended to work with Events Calendar/Pro. (EventsCalendar.com—products—tickets—WooCommerce Platform—WooCommerce Tickets Add-On).

The business I’m building the site for is a brew tour company. My goal was to be able to have events to which tickets are sold, that also appear on a calendar.

After reading through the New User Primers for both Woocommerce Tickets and Events Calendar Pro, what I did was under Events, chose Add Event. Then added the Ticket to that event (inside the Event Adding area). This had two effects: 1) It created an event on the calendar which, if clicked, offers a ticket to buy (yay!) 2) It created, in WooCommerce, a Product called Tickets.

So then, in WooCommerce–Settings–Products–Display, I set it up so that my Shop Page is http://www.dbbrewtours.com/tickets and Shop Page Display is Show Products, and Default Category Display is Show Products. (I did not need to sort categories because I have only one category to display: Tickets.) So far, so good: The page http://www.dbbrewtours.com/tickets page DOES display all the Tickets I have set up (originally set up under Add Event in Events Calendar Pro.)

The only problem is that there is no way to sort the Tickets (Products) displayed on the Shop Page (called Tickets) in date order.

Maybe there was a different way I was supposed to set up these tickets and events in the first place? But I don’t think so because I really did read the New User Primers thoroughly. (But I could have made a mistake!)

A different solution for this would be if there was a shortcode that allowed me to display the Calendar as a list on one page and as a normal calendar grid on another, but since there’s not, I was figuring this would be a good way to have a List of all Tickets (Products) available. If only they could be sorted by date. 🙁

This “seems to me” like something the two would normally do together, since the calendar is a calendar and tickets to things are generally sold for a specific date or time frame. And the marketing of Woocommerce Tickets was in the spirit of “Hey, wanna sell tickets to events from this here calendar?” However, if it is a customization I apologize for my confusion.

Regardless of what it’s called, I genuinely appreciate your time and expertise. This is my first experience with these programs (Events Calendar Pro and WooCommerce Tickets), but I foresee the potential for me to become a huge fan of using them for my clients’ sites, as several upcoming projects have needs for these features.

Thanks.
