(I’d much rather see it included in a new TEC 2 release, but maybe I’ll play with it on a test site.) I’m very happy Shane is taking you up on the work. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Are Events Categories different from regular post categories?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-are-events-categories-different-from-regular-post-categories/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-are-events-categories-different-from-regular-post-categories/#post-2358161) * Thanks, handsome! Could you explain a bit more what this is doing? Do I gather that this exposes the standard WP category selection box while creating or editing Tribe Events custom posts types? * And that those custom post type events will then be treatable and listable as normal posts when displaying the contents of a category (e.g., from a menu link)? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] How Do You Use The Calendar on Your Site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-how-do-you-use-the-calendar-on-your-site/) * Thread Starter [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-how-do-you-use-the-calendar-on-your-site/#post-2381687) * Thanks for the reply, Jonas. I don’t care about “SEO” (which I still consider a BS spammy concept for sites that don’t provide value), and we’re a local not- for-profit that doesn’t run ads anyway. * The multiple categories are critical to the way we use the site — we love that a single post can be referenced in multiple contexts. (For example, newspaper articles about a previous event share the same category as the event announcement itself, photo galleries of the event, etc.) * We don’t display recent posts on the home page (other than the sidebar references), so I don’t know that your cool home page hack is relevant for me? * And it’s not just the sidebars, it’s the pull down menus from the main navigation bar (which are of course category-driven). * So unless I’m missing something it seems like a nightmare adding new event content under 2.x versus the 7 straightforward steps I mentioned above… * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Events and calendar not showing on site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/page/4/#post-2352192) * Jonas, are tags a complete replacement for categories? Would using your patch accomplish some or all of the routine things in my real-world example I asked about at [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-how-do-you-use-the-calendar-on-your-site](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-how-do-you-use-the-calendar-on-your-site)? * (The only time we really use a posts loop is for category listings, not posts on the front page per se.) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Event Details Missing in Admin View](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-event-details-missing-in-admin-view/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-event-details-missing-in-admin-view/#post-2377262) * (grumble grumble and one more thing that worked out of the box when events were posts grumble grumble 🙂 ) * dbmayur, to answer your earlier question, 1.6 downloads are available off the plugin’s regular WordPress.org page at [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/download/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/download/) * But you might want to stick with 2.x as 1.6 is now unsupported. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Events and calendar not showing on site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/page/4/#post-2352180) * I gave similar examples at [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-event-calendar-custom-fields-not-included-in-new-posts-any-more?replies=20](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-event-calendar-custom-fields-not-included-in-new-posts-any-more?replies=20) and elsewhere… * “Right now (with the 1.x version of the plugin) a URL of that form can seamlessly list both TEC Event notices/posts and subsequent newspaper article or photo coverage of those meetings — because they are all checked in the single “OurMeetings” category.” * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Events and calendar not showing on site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/page/4/#post-2352179) * Well it seems to me the ONLY advantage to the new version is that it will be supported while the old version will not be supported. Everything else about it seems to be a downgrade. The separation of posts from events means that in many cases people have to re-enter information twice for the same content. The separation of a different class of categories means complete non-integration with everything else going on with one’s site. If we have, for example, speaker John Doe appear, and I want an event listing and press clips about that event, and follow-up photo galleries for that event, and blog posts related to that event, to all be gathered under a “John Doe” category or “Our Events” category, it’s not going to happen with TEC 2.x, whereas it’s trivial to accomplish with TEC 1.x. * It’s good that the back end is improved, but I think they’ve thrown out something great. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[The Events Calendar] [Plugin: The Events Calendar] Events and calendar not showing on site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-the-events-calendar-events-and-calendar-not-showing-on-site/page/4/#post-2352177) * Jonas, you seem to be working a lot with the new version now, and even providing patches, and I gather that you like it. May I ask if you like it better than 1.6x, and if so for what reasons? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Events Manager - Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!] [Plugin: Events Manager] Location Notes/Description and line breaks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-location-notesdescription-and-line-breaks/) * [bwp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bwordpress/) * (@bwordpress) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-location-notesdescription-and-line-breaks/#post-2350936) * I’ve noticed that WordPress’s br handling is very screwy, completely aside from plugin issues.
