Thank you for helping.

Thats fantastic. But… I will have to go real slow. Cause some of what you said I do not understand.

OK.. ON the balloon site I have a completly different map software from Brown Bear Software in Alaska. It does not have a location feature.

The map on the Ident Tags site is just a play calendar and I can not get it to work either.

Just went to my API credentials and entered the http thing. That may have been my problem since in the past I had *.jodisskiskool.com/* and www…. and had http:.. But I think my problem was the . between the * and the j.

Dont know how to clear the Cache on the site. Barly can figure out how to do that on a browser let alone on the site.

Delete the Unused Credentials. You mean in my Google API console thing?

I have gone in and deleted all the locations. I have reinstalled the locations. The locations appear in a google map inside the CP or control panel but do not appear on the site. Dont know if that tells anyone something.

OK.. I figured it out. There is a short code for events form that when placed on the same page as the calendar it places a form on there. Now to test and see if it works.

Thank you all.

Jeff

Well, I now have a calendar working.

Anyone want to give me a clue how to post events from the front side of the site and not the CP or BackRoom

Thank again for all your help. I made a mistake and found it.

Jeff

OK.. That did the trick. I now have a calendar on the Calendar page.

Now I need to get my theme back and then figure out how to be able to make an appointment on the calendar from the front end and where.

Then I need to figure out how to get the other two calendars off the page.

OK… This might be an error.

ON the WPcalendar page. Down at the bottom it says,
Load JS and CSS files on

It says wright the page ID where the calendar will be displayed.

I wrote in the box, “Calendar” Could that be the error?

Aww heck gang. I can not even do a theme change.

OK.. I deactivated everything. Changed to 2017 theme. Now I have two calendars on my home page. One little one and one big one. Makes no sense to me.

I took the short code off the calendar page. The page loads but it is empty. I do not know what error you guys are seeing. I dont know how to tell that. I had the code [Fullcalendar] on the page before but nothing showed up. Is this code case sensitive?

Why do I now have two calendars?

I do not see any short code on my home page?
Calendars dont work. The Large calendar has nothing on it and th small calendar has colored numbers on the dates but when you click on them you get an error message.

So I am now I am even more messed up.

Does the dog ever catch his tail?

Not today!

Apparently the only thing I can actually do is make this worse.

Also.. deleting Events Manager and reinstall.. try going to
Settings -> Events Manager
General tab (you should be here automatically)
scroll all the way down to the bottom…
Admin Tools (Advanced)
the last option is…
Uninstall/Reset

I did as you said. But there is no events manager under settings. There is a general tab under settings. That tab takes you to a page where you can enter the site name and change some time zones and codes. So I went to the Events Manager tab and there was no General tab there but there was a settings tab. So under that I found the advanced thing. I clicked on the reset button but nothing seemed to happen. So I did it again and again.

Now I have 4 events pages and 4 category pages and 3 location, 3 bookings and 3 tags pages. ARRGGG… So I still do not have a calendar.

Do I need more than one event on a single day for the calendar to work? Cause right now the only thing that happens is the number for the date changes color.

Next question. SHORT CODE. How does that work? I see some that are like this.
[fullcalendar] Then I see some that are [fullcalendar, topic included $28003 Back inside blank blank bla bla} What is all that other stuff in there?

The Site I am trying to install a calendar on is
IdentTags.com

What I am trying to reproduce is this demo.
https://demo.wp-events-plugin.com/calendar/

Nope. No luck. Read a whole bunch about Tags. Did not help. So we are now up to 7 hours of work to have nothing to show for it.

Good night.

Yepper.. That wall will not move no matter how hard I hit my head against it.

Once again I have spent a couple of hours to go no where. I went back and made sure the settings were as I was instructed.

I then thought well there were other pages that stuff was supposed to show up on so let me figure out were those pages went. Found a place were the settings allowed you to choose the page the things showed up on. GREAT Lets put everything on that new calendar page I just made. So I put all the stuff, Tags, events, categories, selections, bookings and the kitchen sink on the new Calendar page.

I then figure I should put a link on the navigaiong menue so I can go look at the calendar page easily as it comes to life (in my dreams)

When I get to the PAGES page, I find a bunch of pages called invalid. So I get rid of them and put the calendar page on the footer menu.

So now there is a calendar that I can not do anything to on the home page???? How the heck it go there will be a mystery for a while I am sure. There is a search box looking thing on the calendar page and nothing else. I have no way to add anything to the calendar that appears in the wrong place for some reason.

Golly what fun. Stay tuned for the next round of head banging.

Jeff

So,

I deleted both programs. Reinstalled and event manager did nothing. No new pages.

Not to give up I then created a page called (of all things) CALENDAR.

Went into the event manager program and set the first two options to NO. Left the rest as they were.

I then went into he WP fullcalendar program and set he check box for events Powered by events manager and then clicked Event Categories. Also checked Calendar options, month week day.
I then went to the new page I made called “CALENDAR” and typed in the editor [fullcalendar]

AND PRESTO… nothing. YUP.. nothing. Got any band aids. My forehead is bleeding pretty good now.

So I will go back and do a bunch more random things and see what happens. Guess that is what you meant by trying and experimenting.

Jeff.

Thank you.

I was so excited to try to follow your instructions. So I deleted both programs. Then re-installed them. This time the Event Manager program did not create the aditional pages as it had the first time. So I did not even make it out of the gate and fell on my face.

Once again I find myself beating my head blody against a wall I can not move.

Any Ideas anyone?

Yes I am the Balloon Guy. ThompsonAire.com HotAirBalloonist.com DesiredDreamsbathbombs.com IdentTags.com Appliancerepairtemaoffourcorners.com GinaThompsonPhotogramphy.com and a few others. Even with all these sites I have built I am still apparently a complete idiot.

OK I have done that. Now what?

Here is a quote I was given to help me.

I would start by saying this… the simplest way to get both plugins working together is installing them, and visiting both the settings page on Settings > WP Fullcalendar (select event post type) and then in Events > Settings > General > Full Calendar Options.

I do not understand even this simple set of instructions.

I go to the Settings>WP-Fullcaneldar and (select post type).
Here is what I see on the page.

Post Types

By default, your calendar will show the types of posts based on settings below.

You can override these settings by choosing your post type in your shortode like this [fullcalendar type=”post”]. You can override taxonomy search settings as well like this [fullcalendar type=”post_tag,category”]. In both cases, the values you should use are in (parenteses) below.

Posts (post)

Choose which taxonomies you want to see listed as search options on the calendar.
Categories (category)
Tags (post_tag)
Format (post_format)
Pages (page)
Media (attachment)
Locations (location)
Events (event) – powered by Events Manager

OK So what do I select? What are the post types? Do I select all the boxes?

I selected the word POST at the top and I do not know what a taxonomoy is but I selected them as well. Below are selections for pages,Media, Locations and events. Do I select them also?

When I installed event manager I could not get it to work but the program created a bunch of pages that I have since deleted. Do I need them back? How do I get them back? Is that what the other check boxes do?

So when I say I have no clue I mean I have not the least of an idea of what to do. I do not understand what all this stuff does so I would like to have instructions that are slightly more detailed than install the program.

The next set of instructions says this.
and then in Events > Settings > General > Full Calendar Option

OK I am there… Events > Settings > General > Full Calendar Option. now what?
What do I do there. There are all kinds of options. What do I do here? Do I override the calendar? With what? Override the shortcode? What shortcode?

I simple have no idea what this means or what to do with it. I also can not find any help menu that explains it or what to do with it.

If there is a place I can go read on what this stuff does and what the settings should be I will happily go read all about it.

Hoping for help.
