Thanks for following up Justin!

so I can only see this possible if the repeating rules allow exceptions in the events to block the holiday and strike from appearing.

Yes, adding exceptions would be the way to go for this.

or better still there is an ability to select any day to be associated with the booking

You can assign arbitrary dates to the recurrence. This doesn’t work as a pattern just single dates for the event to take place.

Is this last option what you are looking for?

Gene,

If until we get this going you want to hide the page title for event views use the following CSS snippet:

/* hide theme page title in calendar views */
.post-type-archive-tribe_events #pagetitle {
display: none;
}


Just paste it in your theme (or child theme) stylesheet or via Simple Custom CSS plugin.

Best,
Nico

Thanks for the follow-ups Gene!

Indeed I was confused about the ‘page title’ which for me was the browser title but now I see it’s a title block inserted by the theme. Maybe the best way of dealing with this is to modify the theme function to detect event views as well:


function cpotheme_page_title(){

global $post;

if(isset($post->ID)) $current_id = $post->ID; else $current_id = false;

$title_tag = function_exists('is_woocommerce') && is_woocommerce() && is_singular('product') ? 'span' : 'h1';
echo '<'.$title_tag.' class=”pagetitle-title heading”>';

if(function_exists('is_woocommerce') && is_woocommerce()){
woocommerce_page_title();
}elseif(is_category() || is_tag() || is_tax()){
echo single_tag_title(”, true);
}elseif(is_author()){
the_author();
}elseif(is_date()){
_e('Archive', 'cpotheme');
}elseif(is_404()){
echo __('Page Not Found', 'cpotheme');
}elseif(is_search()){
echo __('Search Results for', 'cpotheme').' “'.get_search_query().'”';

} else if ( function_exists('tribe_is_month') && tribe_is_month() ) {
echo 'Month view page';

}else{
echo get_the_title($current_id);
}
echo '</'.$title_tag.'>';
}


Also, please reach out to the theme developers on how to safely store this customization for it to not be overwritten on theme updates,

Best,
Nico

You are welcome! Try this code instead, and please do change the color codes as you see fits your site design:


/* change month view font color */
#tribe-events-content .tribe-events-month-event-title a {
color: #609f32 !important;
}

/* change day number color in month view */
.tribe-events-calendar td.tribe-events-past div[id*="tribe-events-daynum-"],
.tribe-events-calendar td.tribe-events-past div[id*="tribe-events-daynum-"] > a {
color: #fff;
}


Hope that works, let me know!

Best,
Nico

Stocked to hear Thomas 🙂

Thanks for the follow-up Tobias and sorry to hear this is still an issue under default conditions. I cannot relate this behaviour to any existing bugs so we will have to troubleshoot the issue for a bit.

Can you please try to update to latest version 4.2.1 of our plugins (just released today)? And send over a link to an event with tickets?

Finally, it would be great if you could share your system information with me so I can check if everything looks right on that end.

Thanks,
Nico

Hey Justin,

Thanks for getting in touch and for your interest in our plugins 🙂

You can take a look into the recurrence settings available in PRO. There are a bunch of options to genereate complex rules, but there’s no random recurrence generation.

Is the custom repeat events (part of the pro) allowing truly random events to be created?
(e.g. like seat selection on train/plane/theatre type booking systems).

I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t get what’s the purpose in generating random events. Can you elaborate a bit on this?

Best,
Nico

Hi there Michael,

Thanks a lot for reaching out and sorry to hear about this issue 🙁

Can you please try the following?

• Disable all plugins other than ours and set default theme
• Update the plugins to latest version 4.2.1. That should include the latest translations files.
• Once that’s done please switch your site language to English and see if the plugins are showing up correctly in this language.
• Finally change the site language to German again.

Please let me know how this goes,
Best,
Nico

Hi Jaap,

Thanks so much for reporting this issue and sorry for the hassle until fixed 🙁

This has been recently logged but unfortunately this was reported when the maintenance release 4.2.1 (coming out today) as already packed so we couldn’t rush a fix for this into it. A solution will be included in 4.2.2 coming out in two weeks time approximately.

For now you can use this snippet in your functions.php file:


**
* Avoid a problem with Events Calendar PRO 4.2 which can inadvertently
* break oembeds.
*/
function undo_recurrence_oembed_logic() {
if ( ! class_exists( 'Tribe__Events__Pro__Main' ) ) return;

$pro_object = Tribe__Events__Pro__Main::instance();
$pro_callback = array( $pro_object, 'oembed_request_post_id_for_recurring_events' );

remove_filter( 'oembed_request_post_id', $pro_callback );
}

add_action( 'init', 'undo_recurrence_oembed_logic' );


Hope that helps until fixed,
Best,
Nico

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out to us and for your interest in our plugins!

By default those fields won’t show up in the submission form, but maybe you can find a way to add those to the template (take a look to the themer’s guide). If you have basic PHP coding skills we point you into the right direction to achieve this!

Does this sounds like something that might work for you?

Best,
Nico

Hi there Jeff,

Thanks for your interest in our products 🙂

We have a knowledgebase article answering that question → Moving your license keys, please give it a read and let me know if you still have any doubts!

Thanks for the follow-up James!

I think we can make it work with a little snippet to filter the events RSS by venue which I think it’s not possible out of the box.

So for example this is the main events feed: http://wpshindig.com/events/feed/ – Can you check if the formats works for you?

I’m thinking in adding a query string (http://wpshindig.com/events/feed/?venue=my-venue) to the URL to filter the events in the feed. Does this sound like something you would be happy with? If that’s the case I’ll go ahead and code this for you 🙂

Cheers,
Nico

Thanks for the detailed follow-up Lucy!

Ok so you mean that once an event has passed, the post for it shouldn’t be present in the back end – and if it’s part of a series of recurring events – that date’s single post will be deleted? At the moment old, past events still appear in my calendar, and as physical event posts in the back end…?

They are not deleted, they will be present as past events in the calendar and indeed as posts/events in the back-end.

Basically what I am trying to do is show the next 3 upcoming events on my home page (you can see it at the bottom) – but at the moment it does not show the next 3 classes to happen – but shows the old past classes because the posts for them still exist in the back end and they are first by date order. Does this make sense?

Makes sense. Not sure how you are getting those latest events, but you can use the function tribe_get_events (take a look at how to use it) to get the latest events ordered by start date (upcoming).

You can also use widgets to show this, including them in a sidebar or via shortcode.

Finally I’m not much familiarized with post-expiration plugins, so not sure how to advice you on their use. If you can get the events to show-up correctly in the front-end there’s probably no need for this.

Please let me know how you are getting the events for the home-page so we can see how to tweak that,
Best,
Nico
