I’m playing around with your Demo site to test the Pro features in order to determine if this is the right plugin for my client and saw that this plugin hasn’t been updated in 7 months, isn’t tested with the current WP version (6.3.1) and very little recent support interaction. Would someone from the development team provide an update as to whether this plugin has been abandoned? Looks like it could be very useful to my client, but obvs not if it’s going to be a liability to their site.

Many thanks in advance for a response.

The past few months we receive this automated email from WordPress regarding a “fatal error” caused by the tribe-filters.class.php. Yet, when I login to the website, everything appears to be fine. Since this plugin hasn’t been updated in 6 months, it might be time to fix a few things, including this.

Here are some specifics regarding the error included in the email:

WordPress version: 6.1.1

I’ve been using Advanced Post Manager with the Events Calendar for many years. Recently the Categories, Start Date, and End Date columns are not displaying on the Events list page. All 3 are listed in the Active Columns box at the top of the list. To make the columns appear on page 1, I have to click on “Published” then they all appear. When I scroll to the next page, they disappear. I checked the Yoast plugin and the link counter is disabled. I use this function a lot and really need it. My website is https://texomaconnect.com/ Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I’m not a full stack developer, so I’m struggling to understand the documentation file a bit. If someone could help explain what I’m doing wrong, that would be much appreciated.

So we have a custom post type for Faculty, and on our Posts there is a custom field called “authors” that is used to select one or more Faculty members that have written that particular article. It’s essentially a custom way to select the author of a post.

I’m trying to use APM so on the list of Posts, our editors can filter by that custom field of authors and see all posts written by a single author. Right now the actual “Author” of the articles are all just the editors, because the WP user defaults as the author. I’ve rigged the Posts display to show this field, but there is no way to search/filter by it.

Here is the code in my functions.php file:

add_action('init', 'setup_cpt_filters');

function setup_cpt_filters() {
    // globalize it so that we can call methods on the returned object
    global $my_cpt_filters;

    // Allow for filtering posts by meta keys
    $filter_array = array(
        // The key is pretty essential. It's used in many places. Choose a unique key, preferably prefixed
        'authors_filter_key' => array(
            'name' => 'Author',
            'meta' => 'authors'
        )
    );

    $my_cpt_filters = tribe_setup_apm('post', $filter_array );
}

I originally had it say: ‘meta’ => ‘meta_key’

Which is what the documentations shows. But I assumed that meant you should put the meta key there, not the text “meta_key”.

It seems as though the filter option is available, but when I enter a term and apply the filter, nothing is ever found.

Here is a screenshot of the Posts page:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TwMDsdjDCbq9EQPzqgcX9gmarQ28xSE1/view?usp=sharing

Also, we don’t want to use the Columns feature. Is there a way to remove/disable that? It takes up too much space and is unnecessary.

Thank you to anyone who can guide me in the right direction!

I am using Advanced Post Manager with the Events Calendar, and in general it works wonderfully. However, I can’t seem to find a way to set a filter to show a list of events from today onward. For example, I would like:

Filter: Start Date > On or After > Today

As it is now, I have to manually set and update the date to keep old events from populating. Every day. For every filter. Which is a lot, if you use filters as much as I do.

Is there a way to set and forget this, so it only shows events that are generally relevant?

Thanks!

We have the problem that we ask for individual attendee data (name and email) during the ticket purchase so that the email dispatch works. Since these fields are optional, we can not ensure that the data is specified. If we make the function subscriber data required (mandatory field), then, for example, with two tickets can not be used the same email.
But there should be the possibility that the email can be used multiple times. What do we have to change to avoid this? (Event tickets Plus – ticket settings)

The automatic sending of tickets by mail does not work either, we always have to go to the backend and click on resend tickets to make it work. We also already use a SMTP server from Sendinblue our newsletter plugin. And the tickets always end up in the spam folder.

The check in with the APP (Appname) does not work either, here always comes this card is not authorized to check in. Can it be that you can check in tickets only on the day of the event?

Furthermore, we want that customers can buy tickets without registration, for this we have created an extra now ticket button in the list. (see https://www.roterhirsch.com), unfortunately this does not work yet.

We have been waiting for an answer for a week now and hope for a quick response.

Translated with https://www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

This plugin is nice but it’s missing an option/filter for the date the event was created on. I manage a site with hundreds of users using Community Events to add events and need to filter / sort by date post was submitted. (not by the Start Date or End Date of the event)

How do I add the Date Created as a Filter?

In latest WP the .handlediv for the Filters & Columns metabox displays incorrectly. Its icon is missing, and the element is not aligned correctly, which creates a gap at the top of the metabox.

Hey folks,

Whatever you’re doing for releases, the SVN tag and the plugin file’s listed version don’t end up the same. Currently, for example, 4.5.0 is tagged but the plugin file reads 4.5 (no trailing 0).

I know this seems innocuous, but it causes issues with WPackagist. Obviously, they could implement a fix in their tooling, but this impacts a small enough number of plugins that yours is in the title of the currently open issue. See https://github.com/outlandishideas/wpackagist/issues/292.

A consistent structure with the next release would be great. Thanks!

Had to install the jQuery migrate helper plugin to get the datepicker to work in the latest WordPress. That plugin displays the following warning:

https://oregoncprtraining.test/app/plugins/advanced-post-manager/resources/tribe-filters.js: jQuery.fn.size() is deprecated; use the .length property

The whole plugin probably needs audited for compatibility.

Hello,

I am developing a new website for a client.

Their old site was developed many years ago using Advanced Post Manager (APM) for several post types.

The new website no longer needs the functionality provided by APM. It does, however, need the content that the plugin is responsible for.

I can export the APM post content using the WP export function.

I can NOT import the content into the new website. I get the following error:
“Failed to import “Events, Lectures and Classes Support the Six-Week 2016 Orchid Show”: Invalid post type news

Does anyone know of a way to either export APM posts as regular WP posts or Import APM posts into a non-APM WP environment?

Thank you,
caustin

Hi,
I have installed Advanced Post Manager previously and I could add the Post ID to the post listing view.

Now, managing a new Site I just wanted to do the same but after installing Advance Post Manager I could not select the Post ID. The Post ID is not showing up so I cannot select it for the view.

Any Idea where is the Problem?

Thanks

I tried to deactivate apm and it broke my site and wp-admin

Show event start times, total seats sold, and remaining seats available. Other Event Management Systems like Event Espresso have this functionality out-of-the-box. It does not make a lot of sense to have to open each event to see how many seats remain and what the actual start time for an event is.

We have as many as 100 events per month that we schedule – sometimes for 2-3 months in advance. Making easy management of events should be job #1.

Also, why can I not see all the same information on my mobile device? I see the headers, but the values are not visible. Mobile is a priority these days for people managing anything on the web.

Sorry, just have my admins complaining about this gap in functionality.

I am using wpackagist.org to install this plugin via Composer. But I think it is getting confused because the “Stable tag” in trunk differs from that in 4.5.0 tag.

Hi,

Does this plugin work in a WordPress mulltisite network?

Thanks

I installed the plugin and put in a very basic filter:

function gangFound_cpt_filters() {
    // globalize it so that we can call methods on the returned object
    global $my_cpt_filters;
	
	$filter_posts = ();
	$filter_events = array_merge(  $filter_posts,	
		array('gf_event_date' => array(
		  	'name' => 'Event Start Date',
			'meta' => '_EventStartDate',
		  	'cast' => 'DATE'
		 )
        ));
	$my_cpt_filters = tribe_setup_apm('tribe_events',  $filter_events );
}

and now on the Edit Event page some javascript breaks. Editing anything, even types I’m not adding to tribe_setup_atm, eg a post, page, custom type, so much of the Javascript breaks. For example, clicking on “+Add New Category” does nothing. Trying to switch from Visual to Text in the editor does nothing.

Disabling the call to tribe_setup_apm restores all the functionality.

Is this a known issue and is it going to be fixed soon? I’d love to use this plugin.

Thanks!

It says the plugin is for developers, but looking at the screenshots it appears to be for Admins as well, i.e. columns/filters can be added to any of the backend’s edit-screens.
Can you please clarify? Can I add a filter, say, to order posts under a particular taxonomy or with a particular tag?

I wanted to check if there were any known problems with this plugin and WordPress 5.0 with Gutenberg enabled. I saw the plugin hasn’t been updated for a while, so I wanted to check in. I have done some testing, and I haven’t seen any problems, but I haven’t tested all of the features, so I wanted to see if there were any known problems. And if there were any problems found, would there be future updates to support WordPress 5.0+.

Thanks,
Carl

I would like to display my additional fields in the list view of the calendar. Can someone please help me with this?

Hi.
I ve just installed The Events Calendar plugin.
During installation everything went ok, but on admin I don t see an option to create new Events or manage categories.
I ve followed the conflicts guide and disabling all plugins does not help.
I do have access to settings and tags, but for instance when I click on ′count′in tags list, I see the error “not allowed to edit posts in this post type”.

Can someone give me some advise on how to fix this?

Thanks.

As a site/events admin, I want to find “stale” recurring events so I can verify the details are still correct. I’d like to add a column for Event Updated Date and be able to filter on it like I can for Start Date and End Date.

I had a Pro license last year as I evaluated the product, this feature is required for me to be interested in renewing. I’ve read through the forums and documentation for APM, but I don’t see any easy recipes. Please advise on options for adding this capability to APM.

Were could one find the documentation for this plugin? I know I’ve watched a video in the past, but can’t find it anymore.

Hello:

I have had this problem for a while and need some help. I am trying to create a Date Range.

I can say Start Date is on or before 2018-03-01 and End Date is before on on 2018-03-01.

I just cannot seem to get the filter to work with a range like that. I can get each filter working independently but when I try to filter both it just pretty much ignores my filters. Any thoughts?

I just started using APM with The Events Calendar PRO already installed. I wanted to filter by date and I selected a date and then clicked on Apply but while the search results said 1 item, all the events showed up. That’s mainly because it’s probably the same event, but it’s a recurring event. So it’s basically displaying all its’ children.

Can’t I just have the ability to only see events for that day? Recurring or not?

Hi,

I would like to get automatic emails to communicate me someone filled up the RSVP. At the moment, only the person who RSVP receives the notification email.

This is the function.php file of my businessx theme:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/03cc42db62fbdabb521a3fd90dfd179a

And this is the code I am trying to use to get admin notifications:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5ae9396a72b694b288cfedc0d674e134

Lastly, this is how the functions.php file looks like after adding the code:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/223c2912f83cd7243e3392774514a3b0

But it still doesn’t work…

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you!
Luca

Hi, I am trying to figure why when I set a featured image it goes in the post and not in the header of the page. Is there a way to move it to the header? If not, is that possible to reduce the black area of the harder? Many thanks, Luca

The URL I attached is what I have in Joomla, I would like to have it in wordpress and feel like this plugin could be the right direction. However I am not a programmer but can do some tweaking.

I have installed the plugin and read the documentation; I was hoping there would be some dummy content/examples to set everything up and change the files to my needs. Is this possible?

Client just reported that the sorting isn’t working anymore, I didn’t take note of previous versions (probably 4-6 weeks old), but I upgraded to the latest versions of Events Calendar, EC+, Event Tickets, ET+ and doesn’t fix the issue.

Short story is all events are returned no matter what is put into the filters.

It worked fine until very recently. Maybe a 4.8 bug?
