New to plugin initial impression is NOT GOOD

Hi ejwjohn,

Thanks for posting.

Do you see these same issues over on our demo site? If not, mind sharing a link to your own site so we can see the problems you’re facing first hand?

It may be some issues relate directly to your theme and, if so, the amount of assistance we can offer for those may be limited – but if we could see specific examples on your own site that would be most helpful ??

Hello,

Did you see my email response to your question please?

John

OK, Just in case there appears to be a communication problem the web site i am having the issue with was provided in th eintial post but it was in plain text not a link.

Hi ejwjohn,

why do some of the events in the Right Hand Side bar display differently to others?

Some of those events are marked as ‘featured’. The Events Calendar often styles featured events differently as a means of highlighting them.

Why when you look at certain events they have a large grey “Box” at the end of teh event should there be a map in there or something?

To enable the display of maps you will need to add a Google Maps API key. You can do this via the Events → Settings → APIs admin screen.

The Address of the Venue lacks correct spacing, the address line contains the town, county, and country with no spaces.

I believe this is a result of your theme’s CSS (stylesheet) rules. Unfortunately, right clicking seems to have been disabled on your site so inspecting the page to see the root cause is harder than it needs to be, but in any case it’s something where you would probably need some custom CSS to fix things up ??

Some of the links to other calendars show up differently on certain events.

I’m not entirely sure what you mean. Can you give me a specific example?

OK, Understood, however not sure how they were flagged as featured??

OK, will investigate further.

Hmmmm.. Not sure what happened here, the original issues was that the links to the Google and iCal calendars were being displayed differently, but that is no longer an issue, could have been a cacheing issue as i use W3 Total Cache on this site.

I know this next question was not on the original post and if you want me to raise a separate post i will, but i read somewhere that it is possible to add a Mini Calendar in the side bar via a widget, is this easily possible please.

You say on your site that i do not need to have coding experience…. and i do not so hopefully this is relatively straight forward.

Thanks for your assistance to date.

thanks

Hi @ejwjohn,

Thanks for following up! We do indeed offer support for a mini calendar sidebar widget, but this is only included with our premium Events Calendar PRO offering, not the free version of The Events Calendar. If you’re curious, you can read more about the added features of Events Calendar PRO here on our site.

I hope that helps! Thanks again, and let us know if you should have any other questions!
