Just to say, this got resolved in a recent update of the plugin. Many thanks.

Just checked, i am an administrator and all user capabilities are already checked, including upload_event_images

Yes,that’s what I was using before. It no-longer appears as an option for me though….

Hi bakerbaggies,
Many thanks for that. Did you get the ID’s from the page source code?
I had looked under posts>categories, but my Events Manager categories aren’t listed there….. Also, the category ID’s aren’t listed under there for my standard post categories either, so I must be missing something.
Anyway, thanks for the tip re the source code, I will make the necessary changes now ??

Hi Mark, Yes, this is the issue, I can not see what the new category ID’s are. Before they were obvious. I have searched all over. Do you know where can I now find them?

I didn’t change anything, I only updated the plugin. Looking at the categories within Events Manager, there is no longer a category ID to use (that I can see) so i assumed they got changed with the upgrade to v5.

Hi Marcus,
With the new upgrade to v5 i have lost all the formatting based on category in my events table – i’m guessing this is because “categories are now custom taxomonies” (i have no idea what that means!)

Where before i had the code e.g.

}
tr.eventcat-2{
        background:#ebebeb;
        border:1px solid #000000;
        border-right:2px solid #000000;
        border-left:2px solid #000000;
        color: #801103
			}

to specify what category “2” looks like in the table, i cannot work out what to change the tr.eventcat-2 section of the code to, to work with the changes.
Any help would be really appreciated ??

Thanks Marcus,
All sorted now – I more or less have it looking like i want it too!

There is now a way of doing this, check out this thread https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/styling-based-on-category?replies=28

Hi @marcus,
Thanks for this, I have now created a page that looks more like how I want it to look which is great!
https://contactdance.co.uk/events/

However, the links within the listing do not work unless the default events page is activated. I have tried selecting [no events page] which meant all the links within the events listing went to a 404 page. Then I tried recreating a default links page
https://contactdance.co.uk/events/events-2/
and ‘Excluding’ it from the navigation, but again the links stopped working. Currently I have two events pages which is obviously not ideal.

Do you have any suggestions?

I tried writing mode=monthly under within ‘Default event list format’ but it just lists mode=monthly before the table! Is that what you meant?
Sorry, I am a novice when it comes to code writing (i just do it by trial and error guessing what might do what as i go along!)

@marcus, that’s great news!
So, if i want events grouped by month, where do I enter that code? Somewhere within ‘Default event list format’?

@marcus – sorry to bother you, I am sure you are very busy! I was just wondering in what version you were planning to include this shortcode?

@marcus – yes that really is great news. Many thanks!

I did already do a separate post on this:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-how-to-group-events-by-month?replies=4

Not had any helpful replies yet. Basically i want to get my events table, https://contactdance.co.uk/events/, to have subheadings of the months so that people can easily view what’s happening each month. @barkerbaggies was looking for something similar I think.

Do you know any tips to do this?
