FAQ
-
Do I need a Google Maps API Key?
-
Yes, if you select to use that option. If you need help, read this tutorial Google Maps API Key
-
I created a future event but it shows only in Archive folder
-
This is due to a difference between English and European preference re date format.
The fix is simple.
Open this file in a text editor:
bp-simple-events-pro/inc/js/events.jsFind: dateFormat: ‘DD, MM d, yy’
For Europe, change it to: dateFormat: ‘dd-mm-yy’ Or whatever you prefer
You will then need to :
* upload the edited events.js file
* clear your browser cache ( just the files ) to insure that the js file reloads
* edit any existing Events and reset the date -
MultiSite support?
-
No.
-
Calendar support?
-
Yes – if the Calendar supports assigning custom post types
-
Can I remove the option to assign a Category ?
-
Yes, by using the filter hook.
Place this function in your theme > functions.phpfunction pp_events_category_filter( $args ) { $args = array( "child_of" => -1 ); return $args; } add_filter( "event_cat_args_filter", "pp_events_category_filter", 1, 1 );
