How to get The Events Calendar plugin to run?

  • To anyone using The Events Calendar plugin,

    How do you get this plugin running? I see a bunch of php files but nowhere in the documentation does it say how to integrate this within a theme. It also does not say what to do with the permalinks although it mentions that it needs to be changed.

    I just want to add the calendar to one page of my site.

    The plugin looks great but the documention seems to take it for granted that one would know how to integrate PHP stuff.

    Thanks for any help!

  • From the top: do you know how to install a WordPress plug-in? Sorry if it’s insulting to ask that but I’m not sure where you’re having a problem.

    What have you done so far?

    Hi,

    No offense taken. The plugin is installed and activated. I just don’t see how to have it displayed on a page or post.

    Cool. If it’s installed, when you go to edit/create a post you should see a section under it for t-e-c. That’s where you specify that your post is an event, and that TEC should handle it.

    After that, I *think* you will see a category for “Events” in the category chooser, and when you click on that you will get either the Events List page or the Calendar (grid) page. Either way you should see the two buttons at the top.

    Let us know how much of this you have and we’ll take it from there.

    Hi!

    Thank you very much for your reply. I got it working this far. What wasn’t clear was that to see the calendar I had to go on the ‘events’ category page. I’ll take it from here. What I’m wondering now is if there is a way to have events not show up as regular posts as well. Do you know if this is possible?

    Tank you again,
    JF

    I think that’s more of a WP thing than a TEC thing. If those posts are not categorized as anything but events, and you limit the views of the other pages to … news, whatever other categories you have, then the events wouldn’t show up. I think the main obstacle here for beginners (like me) is that the initial page shows everything unless you set it up differently. I’m figuring it out, too.
