Do you need the PRO license for using the coordinates (latitude, longitude)

It works for me, certainly (with just The Events Calendar and Event Rocket): a new meta box is added to the venue editor just as it would if PRO is activated.

At code level, the “GPS” module that implements this doesn’t care if PRO is activated or not – though of course having PRO has the benefit of automatically setting those coordinates based on the address by communicating with Google.

Thanks for getting back to me Barry.

Strange one, this still does not work for me. I have also tried installing on a clean install of WordPress (just the two plugins, and WP default theme). But no meta boxes are displayed?

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I really need the latitude/longitude functionality.

Same versions still apply as above.

UPDATE: Infact, I don’t think plugin is working at all. I have tried inserting shortcodes e.g. [event_rocket_countdown id=”789″ show_seconds=”true”] and it just displays the text.

Hmm, well I don’t know why you’re hitting problems with the longitude/latitude meta box (unless the plugin isn’t activated or something else is interfering) but with regards to the countdown shortcode, please bear in mind the following (from the FAQs):

Please note however that if you are not using Events Calendar PRO then any widgets specific to that plugin (such as the countdown and calendar widget) will not be available.

So if you aren’t using Events Calendar PRO, you don’t have an event countdown widget to start with and therefore it cannot be wrapped up in a shortcode.

At this time the only events widget that ships with the core plugin – The Events Calendar itself – is the list widget (so [event_rocket_list] should be available to you) but if that isn’t working for you I’m not really sure what to suggest, I’m not quite convinced there is a general problem here just yet :-/

Hi Barry,

I’ve just tested the following setup (variety of combinations):

Clean installation of WordPress with no plugins

WordPress 3.8.3 (downgraded)
Wordpress 3.9.1 (current)

The Events Calendar 3.5.1
The Events Calendar 3.4

Event Rocket 1.4.3
Event Rocket 1.4.0

Different web browsers (chrome,firefox,safari).
Default themes (twenty twelve)
No active plugins (except TEC and ER)

All setups failed to show any Event Rocket functionality. The problem I am receiving is not a Lat/Long or shortcode issue, but the plugin itself is just not working at all. Almost like its not even activated (but it is).

Really have no idea why this is not working ??

Well – regrettably – neither do I!

I know from recent feedback it is working for other users out there and it’s certainly working for me (to be sure, I just installed a fresh copy of WP and setup then activated only The Events Calendar and Event Rocket … all was fine).

So whatever the issue it seems to be local to you, best I can tell. Unfortunately I don’t think there is much more I can do to assist from over here and perhaps we’ll have to chalk it down to unknown causes and move on – though if you do figure out what is amiss at some future point it would of course be great to hear from you.

Sorry it didn’t work out for you.

It’s not in Events (lat/Long) its in Events>Venues.

This appears to be working now after installing the latest updates. Not too sure if this was the exact problem, but atleast this is now working.

Thanks for your help and input.

Glad it’s working for you ??
