Hi there, I usually upload 2 weeks worth of events and then take the code and add it to my Mailchimp and it worked perfectly. However, I had to move away from WordPress but I love your software.

Is there a different software or a version that I can use in my email newsletter? I have Brilliant Directories and the events are located there.

If there isn’t anything available, is there a way I can have something created that would be able to do this? Thanks

Hi, I am interested in your plugin, I’d just need to know if it would be possible to automatically (without any human intervention or with the minimum one) send a newsletter every time a single event is published by The Event Calendar.
And, if that is possible, which service would you suggest for a newsletter with about 2.500 subscribers and 5 to 10 events/newsletters per month.
Thanks for your help!
Stefano

Hello all, I’m facing some blurry thumbnail images in WordPress using the event calendar newsletter plugin and going into Mailchimp. I don’t think it is the plugin — I think it is WordPress settings on image compression, though I have disabled everything that might be contributing, forced resizing of the thumbnails, etc. You can see the blurry thumbnail here:

https://sjdastg2024.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/DTSJ-Calendar-19-1-150×150.jpg

I’ve worked out a possible workaround — in the code, instead use the 300×300 image:

https://sjdastg2024.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/DTSJ-Calendar-19-1-300×300.jpg

and then add width and height attribute to scale the 300×300 to 150×150 for use in Mailchimp:

<img src="https://sjdastg2024.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/DTSJ-Calendar-19-1-300x300.jpg" width="150" height="150"alt="" />

This works great and looks very nice in Mailchimp. I realize that the file size is larger for the 300×300 images. My question is, how can I add the width=”150″ and height=”150″ to each image in the html results in the plugin, so that when I copy/paste in the html code from the plugin into Mailchimp, all 300×300 images will be displayed at 150×150? Thank you!

We are using Event Calendar Newsletter in conjunction with Simple Calendar, which in turn pulls events from a public Google Calendar.

All of our event descriptions have been updated and are showing appropriately in Simple Calendar. Unfortunately, when I click “Generate Newsletter Formatted Events,” the previous descriptions are still showing.

I have tried clearing our website cache, to no avail. I have also logged out and back in and deleted and re-installed the plugin.

On the settings page there are four “group by” format lines. When setting up a template, the only group by options are “none”, “day” and “month”. What are the “tag” and “in-progress” items on the setting page for? I don’t find anything in the documentation regarding this.

It appears to me that if I set an event to start on a date and set the end date to more than 2 days later, the event does not get included in the event listing. If the event only spans one or two days it is included. Is this by design? Does the plugin not handle multi-day events?

Background: I send out a weekly newsletter. Between regular posts, EventPrime, MailPoet and your plugin the content is all automatically generated. (AMAZING!) I have an event category called “Ads”. This set to be excluded from the calendars. I use a shortcode from your plugin to generate the events from that category to be included. I want to use the start and end dates to control when the ad get included on my website and in the newsletter. If someone purchases an ad to run for one month, say September 1 through 30, I set the start and end date of the event (ad) to those dates. If I set the template to start at today and include 1 day of future events, I expected any event that is going on today (and/or tomorrow?) would be included. i.e. any event that does not start after today or end before today.

Man I love this plugin! I send out a weekly newsletter of events for the next two weeks. This makes it so easy! Set a few parameters, click generate and cut and paste the results into my newsletter. The listings look GREAT and are highly functional with a link back to the event page.

can your plugin allow me to email event notifications as new events are added, to subscribers of various types of events? ex. A new event tagged as “Etobicoke” is added to my calendar then automatically anyone who has subscribed to events tagged “Etobicoke” automatically are sent a notification.

thanks,

chris

Does this plugin work with ConnectDaily by mhsoftware?

I’m trying to evaluate the Newsletter Plugin but any attempt to use it throws a generic error modal. The only content of the modal is ‘error’. I’ve disabled all other plugins other than Akismet and Events Calendar & Events Calendar Pro but no dice. Same error.

From the logs it might be a problem with recurring events.

Here are the error logs —

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the great plugin.
We’re running into an issue with the latest version of Events Calendar Pro and Event Calendar Newsletter. Hitting Generate results in an ‘error’ message, looking at the ajax request it’s returning a 500 error.

In our server logs I’m seeing:

Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught TypeError: Return value of TEC\\Events_Pro\\Custom_Tables\\V1\\Updates\\Controller::add_off_pattern_flag_to_rule() must be of the type array, string returned in ****/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Events_Pro/Custom_Tables/V1/Traits/With_Event_Recurrence.php:430\nStack trace:\n#0 ****/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Events_Pro/Custom_Tables/V1/Traits/With_Event_Recurrence.php(495): TEC\\Events_Pro\\Custom_Tables\\V1\\Updates\\Controller->add_off_pattern_flag_to_rule()\n#1 [internal function]: TEC\\Events_Pro\\Custom_Tables\\V1\\Updates\\Controller->TEC\\Events_Pro\\Custom_Tables\\V1\\Traits\\{closure}()\n#2 ****/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Events_Pro/Custom_Tables/V1/Traits/With_Event_Recurrence.php(496): array_map()\n#3 ****/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Events_Pro/Custom_Tables/...', referer: https://stage.****.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=eventcalendarnewsletter

If deactivate Events Calendar Pro, I’m able to Generate newsletter HTML.

Hi. I’ve installed ECN and the first thing that comes up is:

No supported event calendar plugin available.
Event Calendar Newsletter takes the details of your upcoming events to put inside your newsletter from one of the supported WordPress event calendar plugins.
Install one of the supported calendars, which include:
The Events Calendar by Modern Tribe
Events Manager
Event Organiser

The problem is that I already have Events Manager installed. How do I get it to recognize that EM is already on my system?

We’ve read through the documentation and don’t see any way to display events from The Events Calendar Pro which are in the past. Is this possible?

We want to show events within a date range having a specific category, similar to https://steeplechasers.org/competition/club-competition/grand-prix/

Does this plugin function for Mailster newsletter? Mailster has very limited newsletter formatting, so I am having doubts.

Hi,

I am using the Pro version with The Events Calendar Pro and it’s working great but I’m wondering if there is a tag I can use to add the Event Organizer. I tried {organizer} and {event_organizer} but neither of those worked.

Also, is it possible to show only those events for a specific Organizer?

Thanks,

Russ

Hi,

I am using The Events Calendar Pro and also using “The Events Calendar Extension: Event Titles Link to Website URL” (https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/make-event-titles-link-to-the-event-website-url/) so when a user clicks on the the Event Title or the Featured Image it takes them directly to the Event URL instead of the Single Event page. I am testing the free version of Events Calendar Newsletter and I cannot figure out how to make the links go directly to the Event URL. Is this option available in the Pro version?

Thanks,

Russ

I am trying to evaluate the the free version of Event Calendar Newsletter with The Events Calendar Pro on my website at https://www.allmidwestauctions.com/ but when I click the “Generate Newsletter Formatted Events” button I get a popup message that says “www.allmidwestauctions.com says error”. I tried with the default settings and with other settings and all give the same error message. It’s a pain to have to deactivate all the plugins to check for conflicts so I though I would first ask if anyone has experienced this error and if they have any suggestions.

El plugin (v 2.12) genera un error de PHP en el servidor:

PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /xxxxxxxxxxx/wp-content/plugins/events-calendar-pro/src/Tribe/Recurrence/Meta.php on line 1536

Does anybody know how to get rid of the theme shortcodes within the event descriptions?
like these visual composer codes:
[vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]….
any help would be great ??
Thanks so far
sabine

If copying /pasting the Event Calendar Newsletter html code to a Mailpoet3 SOURCE CODE textfield, the images are missing.

After testing for hours, I got the solution: just copy the html code to a “normal” text field – and all images are shown ??
maybe this helps someone!

greets sabine

Question on Event Calendar Newsletter, trying to condense my list of event details for my newsletter and I am stumped on this one. Is there a way to make the event title link to the event details? I’ve searched the documentation and played around with it and can’t seem to figure it out.

This is my formatting:
{start_time} – {end_time} – {title}
{location_name} | Gmail | iCal

Text version: <p>{start_time} – {end_time} – {title}<br />{location_name} | Gmail | iCal</p>

Trying to make {title} link to {link}

When importing from The Events Calendar, for events with more than one organiser, is there any way to get all organisers included in the newsletter?

Hi!

I’m trying to set up your plugin to be used on a site using the Adada Theme with The Events Calendar plugin. It doesn’t seem to be playing nicely with the theme as it is outputting the Fusion Builder code with the event description as you can see below.

Is there a way to easily strip out the fusion code? Maybe this is something you’ve already fixed with your pay plugin?

Thanks in advance!
Rob

Hi, I’m new on this plugin. Installed today. In set-up page, I have “Simple Calendar (Google Calendar Events) — 1 week — default format. Hitting the “Generate” button I get a modal box that just says “Error”. And an “OK” button. Can’t tell what I’m doing wrong.

Thanks — Howard Ballinger

Thanks for making this plugin. We use your plugin with the events Calendar, and generate newsletters with mailchimp.

Is it possible to use {if_categories} with a certain category name?? So only in case this specific category has been set?? It doesn’t seem to work? If not possible then maybe in the PRO version or a later version?? Or is this possible?

Hello! Amazing plugin!

I am needing to add our logo to the top of the auto-generated newsletter; can I add it into the text header area using html, or is there some other way to do this? It would not be fun to have to try to add it later in a Word document or email.

Many thanks.

Kat

Hi
I have been generating upcoming calendar events from events calendar, that include the featured image, for some time. This works reliably in Mailpoet 2 by cutting and pasting the HTML.

When using in Mailpoet 3 the images do not appear.
I have submitted a support ticket to Mailpoet (twice) with no acknowledgement of the ticket
Are you able to shed some light on the problem
Thanks
Michael

Still researching other settings, but recently my images are not displaying in Mailchimp when I copy over the html.
The images do display in the WP preview, and the direct links work, but do not display in Mailchimp or in the preview email sent.

Not sure if this is a WP or Mailchimp setting?

First off, I love the plugin. It saves me a ton of time for my newsletters. I was wondering though if it possible to include the city in the event listings? I’ve received some feedback from my subscribers and this is the #1 thing they would like to see in my newsletters.

Thx

I’m using Events Calendar by Modern Tribe on this site: https://www.gablesguide.com/events/

After installing this plug-in, I can choose my calendar, choose the date range and choose several basic formatting options, but that’s it. It just keeps spinning and I never get past that point. The little circle to the right of the button “Generate Newsletter Formatted Events” just keeps spinning. Do you have some clues as to what might get me past this error? Thanks in advance

My event featured images are all 64 pixels square, bit I don’t see a choice for that size in your settings. Is this causing a problem?
