    Hi,
    I’ve set-up the Eventbrite plugin and verified with Keyring.

    The page template is set to ‘Eventbrite Events’

    The page with Events loads extremely slowly, AND the events themselves return 404 errors.

    http://chrismuzilla.com/edm/events/

    I did read about this possibly being caused by 32-bit PHP and have reached out to the web host to confirm. Is there anything else that may cause this issue?

    Once I have the events loading, I’d like to display the Events on a Grid, say 3 across in a row, is that possible? And if so, can you point me to any documentation on customizing the layouts? Simply making a new page template?

    First time using the Eventbrite plugin and looking forward to your response. Thanks for your time and help,

    Hi projectmuzzle,

    Sure, this article can help with customizing the page template for your own theme.

    As for the speed of your site, it does seem very slow. Are you on shared hosting? 404s can be solved by just saving your permalink settings in Settings > Permalinks (although I’m not getting any at the moment as I check).

    Hi projectmuzzle, any progress on this?

    I was able to upgrade the PHP to 64-bit version and the 404 errors resolved themselves. The 404s were not corrected by updating the permalinks.

    That account is a shared LAMP server, are you saying that’s the only cause of the speed issues? It looks like there are numerous HTTP requests being sent when the page loads. Any way to reduce these?

    Is there any example code of customizing the events to only show the main event picture, date/ time, and purchase button? And possibly laying them out on a grid rather than simply stacked vertically?

    Hi projectmuzzle,

    > That account is a shared LAMP server, are you saying that’s the only cause of the speed issues?

    Oh, it can contribute, but no, without extensive testing of your own site, we’re just guessing at this point.

    > It looks like there are numerous HTTP requests being sent when the page loads. Any way to reduce these?

    A new version down the road is looking to reduce calls. Currently, I believe API calls are made for the single views also when the index template loads; ideally, these should be on demand. There’s no ETA for a next version (it involves a pretty full rewrite), and it’s not been high priority.

    I don’t know of any specific examples myself, but the article linked above gives tips on customizing the default templates for a specific theme. Events are just like regular posts when we get to rendering templates, so yes, anything you can do with theming, you can do with this plugin’s events. Eventbrite_Events is just an extension of the WP_Query class, so anything you can do with that, you can do with your events.
