Conference Scheduler is setup so that each instance of a workshop is separate in the system, so it’s not possible to easily show other instances of the workshop. If you want to list all occurances of a particular workshop, my suggestion would be to use a WP query to find all workshops with the same title, and you can optionally limit it using the start_time meta to search by date, and then print out that list. If you’re not comfortable doing this kind of PHP coding, I’d be happy to do it for you for a small fee – reach out over email and let me know exactly what you’re looking for and I’ll give you a price for it.

Conference Scheduler allows you to easily choose how much content you want to show on page load – see the documentation for instructions on how to set this for the Conference Schedule block or conf_scheduler shortcode.

You can make a page for each session, and then use the shortcode/block to insert a schedule for just that session onto the page (see https://conferencescheduler.com/documentation/#display_specific_session). There isn’t currently any way to change the number of columns/open state for a particular instance of the schedule, but with some simple CSS you could achieve this (I can help you with that). Send me an email (or use the support form) and I’ll respond with the CSS you’ll need to make this happen.

By default, administrator accounts bypass the Disable registration flag so that admins can always add/remove registrations on the backend even if registration is disabled – so if you’re only checking with an admin account, the button will still show even though registration is disabled. Have you checked with a non-admin account, the register buttons shouldn’t show for them? If you want to completely disable/remove the registration system (front and back-end) then uncheck the “Allow users to register for workshops” setting at the top of the Registration tab on the Conference -> Settings page.

Glad you were able to sort out the issues. Looks like the typo in the CSS was mine – sorry (too bad I can’t edit old posts here to correct it).

To request a refund, please use the Support form on the website so it gets linked with the proper account.

Looks like you have “Group by Location” enabled on your sessions, hence all the workshops being stuck together in one column. Turn that off and they’ll become separate boxes and snap to the grid in however many columns you want.

For colouring the workshops by theme – you’ve got a typo in the CSS which is making it not work – it should be background-color: instead of background-colour: (the U in color shouldn’t be there). Change that and they’ll work. There isn’t a color key built it, but you can add one at the top that you custom make if you like.

As for registration, the system works on the concept of purchasing a single product/eventbrite ticket to gain access to register for any/all workshops – there isn’t a separate payment option for each workshop. If that’s something that you need, I’m happy to talk with you and give you a proposal/quote for coding a custom solution that will meet your exact needs.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re frustrated with the experience so far. Please reach out directly via the Support form (https://conferencescheduler.com/support/) or email if you have any further issues or questions and I’ll help you sort them out.

Sounds like you have the system set in “Timeline” mode, where workshops set their start time and length individually (on the Edit Workshop screen) and the system automatically creates sessions for you. To switch it back to “Session” mode, go to the Conference section of the WordPress Customizer and change the mode.

Or, if you prefer the timeline display, stay in Timeline mode, ignore the Sessions and just enter the workshop start time and length for each workshop individually.

Yes, if you’re using the block to insert the schedule, there is an option in the Block Settings panel called “Show on Load” which can be set to “days only”, “sessions” or “sessions and workshops”.

If you’re using the shortcode, the same functionality is controled with the “defaultstate” attribute.

See the documentation for more details: https://conferencescheduler.com/documentation/#display_defaultstate

People can pick individual talks – click the star icon for each individual workshop. The issue is that with grouped workshops like you have, if one of the workshops inside is picked, the plugin shows the whole group.

However, if you want to only show the individual workshops that are picked (hide the rest in the group) when the “Show my picks” filter is on, then just add this CSS rule to your theme’s Custom CSS section in the WP Customizer:

.conf_scheduler.picks .session.open .workshop:not(.picked) { display: none; }

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes – when workshops get grouped together in a session (using either nested/collapsed sessions or group by location), then the whole group shows when one of the group members is picked and the “Show my picks” filter is on. Basically, the plugin always shows the workshops as a group, and the group shows if any of the filter logic applies to any member of the group.

What would you ideally want to show/happen in your case? If you give some more details (and ideally a demo URL) I can try to see if there is a different way to accomplish what you’re looking for.

At this moment, Conference Scheduler Pro can only restrict registration for all workshops together, there isn’t an ability to restrict registration per workshop which seems like more of what you’re looking for.

Having said that, I have been developing an extension that would allow for each workshop to have a product associated with it, and only allow registration when that product is purchased. It also integrates with WooCommerce to automatically create products, and converts the “Register” button into a “Purchase” button so you can purchase and register directly from the schedule. This extension – called Paid Workshops, is still in beta testing, but is available on the demo sites.

The link to the single page view for each workshop is currently available in the Ticket/Schedule block, and if you want it on every workshop on the schedule, you can customize the workshop template to add a link/button automatically. See the documentation for some basic instructions, and you can email me for more details if needed.

At this time, Paid Workshops only allows for one product per workshop, but it should be possible to allow multiple products to give access to the workshop. I can’t promise a timeline for adding that support, but hopefully soon.

Yes – there is a separate section for each workshop called Restricted Content that is only visible to users who have registered – put the URL in there.

You can try out the feature in a fully functional 24hr demo available at https://demo.conferencescheduler.com/

I haven’t tested it with Japanese scripts as I can’t read them myself. If you want to try it out, there’s a fully functional 24hr demo feature on the website you can use to test it with – https://demo.conferencescheduler.com/

If there are any issues that you find, I’d be happy to work with you to resolve them if you can document them and suggest what needs to be changed.

I’m sorry you’re disappointed with the plugin and support. This is the first communication I’ve received from you since your purchase. I’ve refunded your purchase as requested. I’m always looking for ways to improve the plugin so if you’re willing to share, I’m interested to hear what options/designs you were looking for that were not available so I can potentially add them in future versions.

Thanks for pointing this out – I’ve been away but am back now and have restored it all.
