Hi Jordan,

That worked for the borders – woohoo! Thank you so much.

The spaces thing – I’m wondering if you are seeing what I’m referring to. I understand there will be spaces on the calendar but if you look, for example, under all the Tuesdays and Wednesday entries on this calendar:

https://development.meditationinsarasota.org/calendar/

Underneath the events there is a block of white space – but on most of the other days other than Tuesday and Wednesday it’s the correct colour (a light grey).

Any ideas? So, the color of the space seems to change,

Any help would be super appreciated,

Best wishes,

Christopher Skelton.

Thanks so much for your help. I managed to get the third party plugin to extract the event start date and time.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

Hi Nick,

If you click on the “events” in wordpress admin so they are listed

Then just hover over any event title – and underneath appears the option to duplicate event?

It’s in the free version.

Hi Nick,

Yes, _event_start_date is a valid meta name – this is a meta name that a third party plugin can use to extract the date of the event. I’m using a plugin called “The Grid” which displays all the events in a nice grid format.

I think the meta names you are using above can be used within the “events settings -> format pages etc.” They work really well there.

I hope you found the answer you are looking for.

Best Wishes,

Christopher

Hi Angelo,

Thanks. It seems the meta name for start date and start time is:
_Event_start_date and_ event_start_time

Do you know what where in the php code these are given their names and values?

I’d like to create a custom meta key that combines these two together.

Best wishes and thanks for your help,

Christopher.

Dear Angelo,

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your help!

Does this function read_event_start_date return the same variable as reading the publish date? The Date, time and seconds. This would be really useful to know because then it’s just a matter of switching out this in the Grid Plugin.

Best Wishes,

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for your reply. First of all I would just like to say I really appreciate you taking the time to help. I’m sure your time is precious!

So, I’m using a plugin called “The Grid”. This plugin displays all the event entries from Events Manager in a beautifully laid out grid. So people can click on any of the grid entries and it opens upon the event and displays the details.

However, when the grid plugin retrieves the date for each event entry it collects the published date of the event – rather than the start date and time of the event (which is what I need). I asked the author of the Grid plugin and they said I need to contact the author of events manager to find out the custom field name for the start date and time. Here is what they said:

“So, your date is stored in a WordPress custom field. A custom is an additional field to the native WordPress fields (title, excerpt, post date, author, etc..). So, you need to use a metadata (custom field) element: https://theme-one.com/docs/the-grid/#element_metadata.

If you don’t know the custom field name than you should ask to the plugin author.”

Do you have any idea what the custom field name might be for the start date/time?

Best wishes,

Christopher Skelton.

Would love to know how this is solved.

Hi there,

Did you manage to find a solution to this problem?

I have exactly the same problem!

Best Wishes,

Yes, I’ve had the same happen to me.

After upgrade…all events are only displayed on one line with no wrap around – is there some CSS code that can be added to wrap the events?

Before update it looked like this:

Now looks like this:

Hi,

I’m just wondering if you are able to give me a timescale if or when a fix might be able to be made for this (see above)? Any news would be useful. I understand you’re very busy people but would be really useful to know…

Thanks for your time…and a great plugin!

Chris.

Hi,

Thanks for that – does this mean it could be months before there is a fix? Or is it something that might be included in the next update?

Thanks for any help.

Chris.

That’s absolutely correct.
