Events Manager

I enabled the Google Maps integration, but instead of the map there is a green background. What should I do?

I call that "the green screen of death", but it's quite easy to fix your issue. If you see that green background, your theme has a little problem that should be fixed. Open the header.php page of your theme; if your theme hasn't any header.php page, just open the index.php page and/or any page containing the <head> section of the html code. Make sure that the page contains a line like this: 

<?php wp_head(); ?>

If your page(s) doesn't contain such line, add it just before the line containing </head>. Now everything should work allright.
For curiosity's sake, <?php wp_head(); ?> is an action hook, that is a function call allowing plugins to insert their stuff in Wordpress pages; if you're a theme maker, you should make sure to include <?php wp_head(); ?> and all the necessary hooks in your theme.

How do I resize the map?

Insert some code similar to this in your css:

#event-map {
    width: 300px !important;
    height: 200px !important;
}

Do not leave out the !important directive; it is, needless to say, important.

Can I customise the event page?

Sure, you can do that by editing the page and changing its template. For heavy customisation, you can use the some of the plugin's own conditional tags, described in the Template Tags section.

Can I customise the event lists, etc?

Yes, you can use css to match the id and classes of the events markup.

How does Events Manager work?

When installed, events Manager creates a special "Events" page. This page is used for the dynamic content of the events. All the events link actually link to this page, which gets rendered differently for each event.

Are events posts?

Events aren't posts. They are stored in a different table and have no relationship whatsoever with posts.

Why aren't events posts?

I decided to treat events as a separate class because my priority was the usability of the user interface in the administration; I wanted my users to have a simple, straightforward way of inserting the events, without confusing them with posts. I wanted to make my own simple event form.
If you need to treat events like posts, you should use one of the other excellent events plugin.

Is Events Manager available in my language?

At this stage, Events Manager is only available in English and Italian. Yet, the plugin is fully localisable; I will welcome any translator willing to add to this package a translation of Events Manager into his mother tongue.
