MemberHi Harry,
Thanks so much for following up–happy to provide a bit more clarification here! We do offer the ability to show bookings for a given event on the front end, though this functionality is only included as part of Event Tickets Plus. Therefore, even if your tickets do not require payment to reserve, Event Tickets Plus must still be installed alongside the free version of Event Tickets to add this feature. You can read more about the attendees list feature on our Knowledgebase here:
https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/making-tickets/
If you add tickets to an event, attendees who purchase tickets will have their gravatar displayed in a Who’s Attending feature on the event page.
I hope that helps to shed a bit of light! 🙂 Thanks again, and let me know if you should have any other questions or concerns!

MemberHi Brent,
You’re very welcome–so glad that we were able to help you out here! 🙂 I’m going to go ahead and close this thread out now per your request. Thanks so much again, and please don’t hesitate to follow up with a new thread if there’s anything else that we can do to assist!

MemberHi Jenn,
Thanks so much for stopping by–we’re thrilled to hear that you’re considering our plugins for your site! 🙂 I’m pleased to report that events imported using Event Aggregator are treated just like any other event on The Events Calendar, and you can easily assign tickets to imported events using Event Tickets or Event Tickets Plus. Simply import your events as drafts, edit each event to add your tickets, then publish the events once they’re ready to display on your calendar. I’d be glad to answer any specific questions you might have about the process!
I hope that helps to address your concerns here! Thanks again, and please don’t hesitate to follow up if there’s anything else that I can assist with!

MemberHi Jamie,
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out our plugins! It sounds like our event series functionality in Events Calendar PRO would be exactly the right fit for what you’re looking to achieve here. Our recurrence features allow you to create multi-day events with any type of recurrence you’d like, from a simple once-weekly recurrence to irregular date-specific recurrences to multiple different recurrence types in the same series. You can learn more about recurring events and how they work in Events Calendar PRO on our Knowledgebase here–feel free to have a look and follow up if you should have any other questions! 🙂
I hope that helps to get you started here! Thanks again, and let us know if there’s anything else that we can assist with!

MemberHi Part,
Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us! I’m pleased to report that this bug, which affected certain versions of our now-deprecated iCal Importer, does not exist in Event Aggregator. You should have no problems updating existing records with subsequent imports from the same Google Calendar source. 🙂
I hope that helps! Thanks again, and let us know if you should have any other questions!

MemberHi Paul,
Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out our plugins! While a custom setup with Event Tickets and its existing RSVP functionality may be workable for your needs, you may have an easier time managing your orders and invoicing, even for a manual payment setup, with Event Tickets Plus. Event Tickets Plus relies exclusively on the e-commerce platform of your choice for all payment processing, so any e-commerce plugin that offers support for offline payments should be adaptable to your needs. You might consider WooCommerce and its Cash on Delivery payment option to facilitate this! You can read more about WooCommerce’s COD payment option here on the WooCommerce site:
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/cash-on-delivery/
I hope that helps to get you started! Thanks again for your interest, and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you should have any other questions!

MemberHi there,
Thanks for taking the time to reach out! You can add additional fields to your RSVP and ticket forms using the Attendee Information option available with Event Tickets Plus. You can learn more about how to use this feature on our Knowledgebase here. Unfortunately, this feature isn’t available for the free version of Event Tickets at this time.
I hope that helps to answer your question here! Thanks again, and let me know if there’s anything else that I can assist with! 🙂

MemberHi Harry,
Thanks for taking the time to reach out! If you’re looking to move your existing Google Calendar setup to your WordPress-based site and don’t need to maintain an RSVP record with Google itself, you can easily add RSVP functionality to The Events Calendar or Events Calendar PRO using our free Event Tickets plugin. You can then add on Event Tickets Plus to add functionality for a front-end attendees list, which will allow your visitors to see a list of who has registered for a given event right on the event page. You can learn more about this feature (as well as other options available during the ticket creation process) on our Knowledgebase here! Let me know if you should have any questions or concerns about how this feature might work for your setup! 🙂
I hope that helps! Thanks again for stopping by, and please don’t hesitate to follow up if you should have any other questions!

MemberHi Colm,
I’m sorry to hear that you’re having some issues connecting with us via email! I’m afraid that we don’t have any record of having received an email from you at our support address. Can you please use the email form linked below to attempt sending another message to us? (No need to worry about your expired licensing at this time–your plugins will continue to work until renewing, and you won’t lose any data or settings as a result of letting your licensing lapse.)

When using the above form to reach out to us, please select the option “Help accessing my account” from the drop-down menu to display the full email form.
Thanks so much for your patience here–we look forward to getting this issue resolved for you right away! 🙂

MemberHi there,
A custom-developed solution would certainly be most likely to get you the features you’re looking for in a package that closely aligns with the existing functionality of Community Events. While we’re not able to field development projects of this type in-house, we do maintain a list of third-party developers who work with our plugins and are more than happy to take on projects such as these. I’d suggest reaching out to any one of these developers with some details to get the ball rolling–we’re sure you’ll find a great match there! 🙂
I hope that helps to get you started! Cheers, and best of luck!

MemberHi Tom,
Thanks for following up! Yes, that’s correct–all tickets assigned to recurring events will count as tickets for the entire series, regardless of which day the user is viewing when the ticket is purchased. It sounds like this is exactly what you’re looking to do, so you should have no problems with the combination of Events Calendar PRO and Event Tickets Plus in their current forms! 🙂
I hope that helps! Thanks again, and let me know if you should have any other questions!

MemberHi there,
Awesome, I’m so glad to hear it–and we hope that your client will enjoy working with their new plugins! 🙂
I’m sorry for missing your second question from your previous post today! Events that are imported via CSV or other batch import tasks (using Event Aggregator) will be brought in as single events, and these can easily be edited or deleted by administrators in the same manner as events created directly in The Events Calendar. However, they won’t be assigned to the importing user in the same manner as events created using Community Events–by default, all events imported using our import tool will be assigned to the site administrator. You might consider trying out a third-party import plugin such as WP All Import Pro, which may allow you to reassign the post_author field for your imported posts, though you’d have to adjust the event visibility settings and permissions using Admin Menu Editor to ensure that your users would still be able to see their events!
Obviously this is a fairly complicated topic, and to achieve this in exactly the manner you’re seeking, it may help to be willing to brave a bit of customization. I hope, though, that these suggestions might give you some ideas for how to get started, or at least give you an idea of whether or not this is a project you’d feel comfortable taking on! 🙂 Let me know if you should have any other questions or concerns–I’d be more than glad to assist as best I can!

MemberHi there,
Thanks for following up with some more information here! On further review, I do see that the abilities of the User Role Editor are somewhat limited if you need to restrict access to event creation and editing tools while leaving the import tools freely accessible. 🙁 In this case, I’d suggest adding the plugin Admin Menu Editor alongside this tool. This plugin adds some extra options for restricting access to admin menu options by user role, and you can set up your import user roles in this way:
- Using User Role Editor, grant your import user role permissions for publish_tribe_events, if this permission is not already granted. Save your changes.
- Using Admin Menu Editor, expand each sub-menu option under the Events menu heading. You’ll see a field for Extra capability in each pane.
- For menu options that you wish to hide from import users, select “Administrator” under the Roles heading in the drop-down menu. For menu options that you wish to show to import users, select your import user role from the same section of the menu.
- Click the blue Save Changes button to apply your new permissions.
- Test by creating a new user with your import user role and logging in. If your settings were configured properly, you should see the Events menu in the WordPress sidebar, and Import should be the only option that appears underneath.
I hope that this solution will work for your needs! Give it a try, and let me know if you should have any other questions or concerns. Thanks much! 🙂
