    I was so excited for this integration. Once again this program is not doing
    what I was hoping it would do. So disappointed.

    Looks like I need a custom shortcode to get the Venue to show up on the
    grid. Is that possible?

    Here’s what they said….

    [wpbb post:custom_field key=”_EventVenueID”] correctly picks the Venue ID
    for the event. The reason why it works while this shortcode doesn’t work

    [wpbb post:custom_field key=”_VenueVenue”]

    is that the meta key “_EventVenueID” exists in the Events Post Type while
    the key “_VenueVenue” doesn’t exist there. Their documentation also states
    that it is coming from the Venue Custom Post Type.

    Remember that the Custom Layout is set to fetch data from the Events Post
    Type.

    So to really get those meta keys from the Venue CPT and display them within
    the loop of the Events CPT would require a custom shortcode. Something like
    the shortcode below, for example.
    [event-venue key=”_VenueVenue”]

    Actually I figured out how to get the photos to show up. Use a Custom Grid – Column – Show Picture. Problem is the filtering and getting the calendar to show up in order.

    I found that but you can’t alter the photo layout at all with it. Well the basic coloring but that is it. There doesn’t seem to be much help right now. I think I am finding some other ways to make things work.

    Yea when you open the calendar page you can see the calendar but you can’t change it at all.

    Glad to help! I have spent over a year trying to build this stupid site and I think I am finally finding the technology to get it to do what I want. Since I am not a coder I have had to rely on plugins – this hasn’t been easy. I have tried everything and I am closer than ever.

    I am using the Themer to create the calendar page. That is the only place I can see the Event modules available. I wish it was options on the page builders. I want the events to look like the posts on the main page. I would like it to all be seamless and the events flow into the posts on the main page as content eventually. Still figuring this out.

    For now is there anyway to reduce the amount of text in the description and make the boxes the same size?

    Yes, I am referring to the integration with alpha Themer. I submitted these to them as well a few minutes ago. Tried on their Facebook page before and I didn’t get any help. No one seems to know how to use this yet.

    Attached is what it looks like when you drop in the Events Calendar module. There is nothing there to customize so you get the standard calendar that is all. Based off the settings in the dashboard. All you can change is some coloring and spacing. I am having to use this for now and it looks horrible.

    There is an option to drop in Event Posts and those can be customized (also attached says “Posts”). They look great and match the site perfectly. I wish the calendar has these options. That is what I am trying to do. The problem is, these aren’t actually a calendar only the post types so you can’t get the filter bar and no more events show up. Very odd.

    Would love any help you can offer. I am stumped on how to get this stupid thing to look good. I can’t believe there is no way to get rid of the text on the calendar page. I can’t find a single setting to remove excerpt – http://tallahasseetimes.com/calendar

    No conflict but I found the problem – I am using the Beaver Builder that you
    guys are working with. When you use a custom post grid, you can either have
    posts or events, there isn’t an option to select more than one so you can
    either have posts or events – that sucks.

    I gave up and moved back to Time.ly. You can close these – I just need the refund.

    We now have 7k events that are all useless and it is STILL importing. How do I get rid of them?

    Another fun thing happened – for some reason we now have 1700 Facebook import feeds. We only had about 20 set up!

    No idea what the cron is or what it does but here is what the plugin says is happening:

    five_minutes_interval 300 (5 minutes) Once every five minutes
    jetpack_sync_interval 300 (5 minutes) Every 5 minutes
    minutes_10 600 (10 minutes) Every 10 minutes
    tribe-every15mins 900 (15 minutes) Every 15 minutes
    every_30mins 1800 (30 minutes) Once Every 30 Mins
    hourly 3600 (1 hour) Once Hourly
    twicedaily 43200 (12 hours) Twice Daily
    sitemap-interval 43200 (12 hours) Sitemap Interval
    daily 86400 (1 day) Once Daily
    wpo_daily 86400 (1 day) Once Daily
    weekly 604800 (1 week) Once Weekly
    wpo_weekly 604800 (1 week) Once Weekly
    wpo_otherweekly 1209600 (2 weeks) Once Every Other Week
    wpo_monthly 2592000 (1 month) Once Every Month
