Hi!

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I checked both things you mentioned. I changed the category name to “weekly-classes” and changed this in the shortcode, and ensured the quotation marks were as you said (I think I can only get the straight quotes on the mac i’m using..), but neither of these things helped. I still get workshops listed in the weekly class page and vice versa. it’s not properly recognising the different event categories?

Like I said, it works fine in the original (Finnish) version, and I copypasted the shortcode, just changed the category names in the shortcode…

Could it be that although I’ve translated the categories with WPML from finnish to english, that there’s some muck-up in that somewhere along the line and somehow it doesn’t recognise the different categories..? or something?

thanks!

Thanks, I will do this when I have the chance. Might Be next week.

Oh oops, sorry, I did not see that that was the link, the category slug bit in the URL. I got it now!

thanks

Hi,

Thanks so much! This was helpful. Did you mean to include a screenshot? I did not see one. Thanks!

ps. i managed to make the tickets visible also in the woocommerce shop and i’ve manually added product images to them.

i have a lot of weekend workshops, and for each of them i basically have four types of tickets, friday evening only, the whole weekend, and an early bird price for each of these. and the prices tend to be the same too.

if I don’t add product images manually, then on Facebook people just see a list of these ticket types but with no image, they don’t know which workshop its for. so before i added images (sorry, didnt take a screen shot so i cant show you now), there was a list that looked basically like this:
– friday evening only – price X
– whole weekend – price Y
– friday evening only – early bird price – Price Z
– whole weekend – early bird price – price T
– friday evening only – price X
– whole weekend – price Y
– friday evening only – early bird price – Price Z
– whole weekend – early bird price – price T
– friday evening only – price X
– whole weekend – price Y
– friday evening only – early bird price – Price Z
– whole weekend – early bird price – price T

This kind of defeats the purpose of having the Facebook for woocommerce add-on, if users don’t know what they’re buying, then i cant use it to market my events.

Some suggestions for you to work on:

– enable the user of the plugin to select whether they want to hide or display the tickets in the woocommerce shop, instead of it being set to automatically hide. it would save a lot of manual work.

– enable users to add product images for each ticket type as the tickets are being created. again it would save a lot of manual work.

– enable the user to create default ticket types or a ticket library (like you can save the additional fields to use in another event). Again would save a lot of manual work with typing out several different ticket types for different events over and over.

Hi!

At the moment Facebook for Woocommerce works fine, but I’ve had to disable WPML fully, because that was wreaking havoc with the checkout process. So I can’t tell you yet how that works.

Is there a way to automatically add the ticket header image to the woocommerce products that the ticket plugin creates? This would make the integration with Facebook more seamless. right now the tickets appear in my Facebook store with just titles, and no images.

Hi Neal,

Thanks for responding!

Was there a page where I could get a feel for these widgets in practice? If
I could get one of the widgets to display, say, the next 3 events in a
particular category, then that would Be good! But i’m intendening on
building a one-page type of site, fullwidth, with no side Bar, so i’d
prefer the widget to work with that, i.e. not Be a box on the side. To
Display the events horizontally, side-by-side (like in that sample website)
rather than as a vertical list, which I saw somewhere on your site. Is it
possible to choose the “orientation” or would I have to get someone to do
some code tweaking (which is not my forte)?

Related to this is a question about event categories. Is it possible to
create main categories and sub-categories? (Or are categories
“non-hierarchical”?) And for instance can I choose all events in one main
category (or one sub-category) to Be displayed in the widget? If so, how?

On the main event/calendar page, I know there’s several different viewing
“modes”. Is it possible to filter which category of events to display? Like
through a drop-down list/menu etc?

And finally. About event tickets plus which i’m considering buying. The
tickets are sold on the individual event page, right? What about the
woocommerce shop page. Will that become redundant? Or Will the tickets also
end up there as products? I’m thinking it would Be very customer-friendly
to have one page with all events listed, and a possibility to add tickets
to the cart for multiple events, without having to go through the calendar
every time. Reducing clicks would Be good.

I will have a bilingual page (using wpml). Wpml is apparently not fully
supported, but apparently Its possible to use it anyway. But what exactly
is the issue with event tickets plus and wpml? Do they not work together at
all, is it that tickets cant Be bought? Is it that Its only in one language
and can’t be translated? Would be good to know so I can assess whether to
give it a shot or not.

Thank you!

Karoliina
