Meh

Hi @cogni,

Apology for any inconvenience, Can you please share more details so we can help you get it working.

– Events are neither added as post
Event can be added as custom post type Events as it has more fields related to events. You can also import events into leading Event Calendar plugins.

– nor added to preexisting calendars
Our plugin support most of leading existing calendar plugin. Can you please let us know which you are using and not working so we can provide help.

– additional calendar added with the plugin also looks awful
Our plugin doesn’t add any calendar just show upcoming events using sort code.

Our free plugin has ability to import meetup events into your WordPress and leading Event Calendar plugin so you can display it and more customer can reach to your events. So we believe we deserve 5 star rating for same and would like you to please provide more detail and reconsider your rating.

Thank you so much for your time.

I don’t understand. I want the events to be added as normal Post objects, not as special “Event” objects. I need them to show up in the regular blog with other Posts. They dont.

– nor added to preexisting calendars
Our plugin support most of leading existing calendar plugin. Can you please let us know which you are using and not working so we can provide help.

The calendar is the standard widget: https://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/calendar-widget/ None of the Meetup events show up in this calendar.

The “[meetup_events]” API was the only way I could find to show Events to users. It doesn’t look very nice. It usually doesn’t show any pictures for the event, and sometimes it hangs when I click a date.

One more thing: I can’t search or sort the events by their Meetup date, only for the date they were added to WP.

Hi @cogni Thanks for your time to reply.

– Normal Post doesn’t have options for Event date, time , Map option, organizer detail etc so custom post type are used by all plugin.

– you can display events nicely anywhere using sort code like [meetup_events]

– You can use it with Support plugin mentioned on plugin page here. Import into anyone supported plugin

– You can use inbuild design sort code, if don’t want you can use with above listed plugin.

– In admin there is option to search and sort events.

– For non working or hang, please contact us on our website support we will surely look into it and correct if any issue from our plugin.

Our plugin has very basic and simple goal to help meetup event organizer to help by showing their regular meetup on website without much effort. Once import setup it will keep importing and keep feeding website user events.

We have worked hard to get API working and we believe we deserve 5 star rating for our free plugin. We request you to reconsider it.

Thanks

cogni – I am not a wp expert, but try…..Create a blog category, assign the meetup event to that category and add category to blog feed. Depending on theme you are using you may have other types of control.

I am using The Events Calendar free version and importing 7 local meetup groups using the pro meetup plugin and, except for lack timezone integrity, it works great. Here is my implementation: https://www.hikingwithdean.com For now I am just using my single group events in blog feed, but I am able to include regular posts.

After you get it going, I’d be curious how you are handling timezone issue

Hi @collabora,

Happy to know that you are able to use it with The Event Calendar and importing more than 7 local meetup, As you are using pro version i will appreciate if you can contact us on support so we can provide support to you.

If website time zone and event timezone are different than there is some issue in displaying timezone we are working on it to improve but most of website shows local events so no time zone difference and it works fine if time zone is set properly.

We will be happy to help you if you are facing any issue please do contact us on here

As plugin is working fine we request you to reconsider and upgrade review accordingly. Thank you so much
