Hi Victor

almost worked but not quite! I certainly got the ‘Find out more’ to show on hover but the link/url it takes us to is something like <<=raw permalink>> ie a 404 page.

Any ideas?

thanks
AJ

[Ajay Gilbert]

Thanks Shelby, you’ve done plenty. The folks at WP Rocket, bless ’em, have come up with the solution which involved excluding more of the js files – it’s now super-cached!

best wishes, Ajay

[Ajay Gilbert]

Hi Shelby

thanks, yes I’ve used that plugin before – what do you make of the results? The Elegant Themes Updater can be deactivated (and just switched on for updates, that’s a ridic amount of resource). Jetpack also heavy and we only use that for google analytics, so I’ll try and find an alternative to that. Not sure we can do much about Woocommerce or Yoast SEO – both pretty handy!

Here’s a list and I’ve also included a screenshot (in case you’re more of a ‘visual’ type!)

cheers
AJ

Thanks Shelby,

I did do as you suggested – which gave me a bit of trouble with info being lost as a result of deactivating a certain plugin but hey ho – and it’s not really possible to determine which plugin particularly slows it down. Well not possible for me anyhow.

On a twenty-17 theme with no non-Events plugins activated then yes it loads quicker, though hardly lightning fast. The plugin that seemed to have most effect was Woocommerce. But it was defo slower when Divi theme was re-instated…

These are very popular plugins and themes so seems a shame if they don’t sit well together…?

best wishes
AJ

[Ajay Gilbert]

Hi there

thanks for your suggestion which unfortunately didn’t work out 🙁

it seems that disabling the cache on that page is the only way to keep the pop-up boxes working…

do you know of other methods for speeding up the events calendar?

thanks
AJ

[Ajay Gilbert]

Many thanks, that’s cool!

[Ajay Gilbert]

Thanks for passing this on to the development team.

However just to be clear it is a problem with iCal export of a single event – there is no rendering of the shortcode.

Where it does work is with ‘Add to Google Calendar’ from a single event – however all the information for the event is rendered in the link.

[Ajay Gilbert]

Tried the new code you sent privately which I tweaked to make the links look prettier and it appears to work now – although the Google Calendar seems to have cached the old version so it’s only a month long, but the .ics file shows everything up to a year ahead now. Thanks.

/**
* Change month ical export time range to a year when the query var year is present
*/
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tribe_custom_month_time_range_ics_export' );
function tribe_custom_month_time_range_ics_export( WP_Query $query ) {
    if ( ! isset( $_GET['ical'] ) ||  ! isset( $_GET['year-feed'] ) ) {
        return;
    }
  
    $query->set( 'eventDisplay'  , 'custom' );
    $query->set( 'start_date'    , 'now' );
    $query->set( 'end_date'      , '+ 365 days' );
    $query->set( 'posts_per_page', -1 );
}
  
/**
* Replace default export options
*/
if ( class_exists(Tribe__Events__iCal) ) {
    // remove default export button
    remove_filter( 'tribe_events_after_footer', array( 'Tribe__Events__iCal', 'maybe_add_link' ), 10 );
    // add customized export options
    add_filter( 'tribe_events_after_footer', 'custom_maybe_add_link' );
}
  
function custom_maybe_add_link() {
    global $wp_query;
    $show_ical = apply_filters( 'tribe_events_list_show_ical_link', true );
  
    if ( ! $show_ical ) {
        return;
    }
    if ( tribe_is_month() && ! tribe_events_month_has_events() ) {
        return;
    }
    if ( is_single() || ! have_posts() ) {
        return;
    }
  
    $tec = Tribe__Events__Main::instance();
  
    $view = $tec->displaying;
    if ( defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) && DOING_AJAX && isset( $wp_query->query_vars['eventDisplay'] ) ) {
        $view = $wp_query->query_vars['eventDisplay'];
    }
  
    echo '<a style="float:right;" class="tribe-events-button" title="Export to iCal" href="' . esc_url( site_url('whats-on/?ical=1&year-feed=1') ) . '">+ Export to iCal</a><br />';

Thanks for the code. There was a small typo and I’ve added the css to make it look pretty. However it only shows the calendar up until the 4 June although from 25 April.

The feed doesn’t seem to take any notice of the year-feed argument.

/**
* Change month ical export time range to a year when the query var year is present
*/
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'tribe_custom_month_time_range_ics_export' );
function tribe_custom_month_time_range_ics_export( WP_Query $query ) {
    if ( ! isset( $_GET['ical'] ) ||  ! isset( $_GET['year-feed'] ) || ! isset( $_GET['tribe_display'] ) || $_GET['tribe_display'] != 'month' ) {
        return;
    }
 
    $query->set( 'eventDisplay'  , 'custom' );
    $query->set( 'start_date'    , 'now' );
    $query->set( 'end_date'      , '+ 365 days' );
    $query->set( 'posts_per_page', -1 );
}

[Ajay Gilbert]

Well I suppose I can’t really argue with that! I suppose one could also reduce the global limit on numbers available…

anyhow, thanks for your input

AJ

[Ajay Gilbert]

Thanks for getting back to me. I will look into that function you mentioned – as we’re selling in some offline ways too, we need to be able to stop further booking pronto and manually.

Do you see what I mean?

cheers
AJ

[Ajay Gilbert]

It’s be cool if you could change the link to say it is a year feed but it would be even better if it was prettified with some format like http://www.expample.com/events/ical/year

I’ve discovered working on previous websites that to add an iCal feed to Google Calendar all you need to do is add http://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid= before the iCal link so for the example we are using it would become http://www.google.com/calendar/render?cid=http://example.com/events/?ical=1&tribe_display=month

See http://dev.bowdenweb.com/os/calendar/google-calendar.html for reference

[Ajay Gilbert]

Thanks for that chunk of code. However the link still says http://example.com/events/?ical=1&tribe_display=month which is a little confusing 🙁

What would be perfect would be able to have an Add to Google Calendar button like the single event has – to easily add the year calendar to Google Calendar.

Is it possible for me to add code to below the tribe events footer section to implement this?
