No events showing on events page

    hi – Trying out your Eventbrite plugin and can’t get any events to show on the Events page using the events template. The space under the page title is blank: https://dev.awemous.co.uk/events/ – this is on the Woothemes Canvas theme.

    My event is here – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/marians-dinner-tickets-16858492204 I’ve made it Public just in case setting it to Private prevented the wordpress plugin working. Would the plugin work if the event was Private?

    Have connected and disconnected the keyring thing. It appears to be working ok – at least the test part works.

    I switched to the TwentyFifteen theme and the Events page says ‘Nothing Found’. So it didn’t work either.

    I see lots of other people on this forum with the same problem and although the posts get marked resolved, it appears to be because they gave up trying rather than the issue being solved. Has anyone got Eventbrite to work? And if so, what theme is recommended with it?

    Hi,

    When you switch an event from private to public, you may still get empty results because of the cache (which, by default, lasts 24hrs). If an API call was made when events are private, the results will be empty, and then the plugin dutifully stores those results in the cache. You’re right, the combination of caching, sequence in which things get checked, and complexity of setting up an OAuth app can end up with confusing results. We wish it could be simpler, but authentication for third-party API services on standalone WordPress installs doesn’t get any easier ??

    That said, disconnecting and reconnecting should flush your cache, so if your events are public (and live), and the template is set, doing the disconnect-reconnect again should give you the proper results. Let us know if that doesn’t help, and we’ll be sure to get you sorted.

    Ok. Great, I disconnected and reconnected and built the events page again and it is going. Yay! Thanks for your help.

    Am I right then about Public and Private events? If I change this to a Private event on the Eventbrite site, then it will not be visible to the eventbrite plugin?

    I’d like to make our events private. How would we stop random people booking tickets to an event?

    Great, glad you’re up and running.

    Yes, you’re right, by default the plugin only shows public events (it was important to have this as a sane default). You can, however, change that; you can either specify display_private as true when using WP_Query in your own code, or download and install this tiny plugin that changes the default to show private events. Click on Download Zip in the bottom right corner, and then upload it at Plugins > Add New in your admin.

    If you don’t want people to be able to also book on Eventbrite, then yes, the plugin above is the best way to go.
