Hi,

Most of the free and paid themes will work with the plugin.

Hi,

Version 4 was never released to the public. Essentially, we skipped one version.

Migration tool is in development that will be released by the end of the month…

Meanwhile I’d suggest you to stick with version 3.

If you don’t have it, please contact me at stachethemes@gmail.com, and I’ll send it to you.

In the STEC Dashboard menu, there are two important options:

Manage terms: This controls who can create calendars, locations, categories, and more.

Manage events: This controls who can create events.

Here’s what you can do:

Set the Manage terms permissions to “administrator” and “subscribers” (or any other role for paid users). This prevents other users from creating their own calendars with events.

Set the Manage events option to “logged-in” users. This allows only logged-in users to submit events, regardless of their role. Users who cannot create terms are restricted in where they can submit their events. The permissions are further controlled by the settings of individual calendars.

To create a calendar, go to STEC, then Calendars, and click on Add New.

At the bottom of the calendar settings, there’s a “Use Permission” option. This determines who can submit events to that specific calendar.

Set it to “Logged-in users” so that only logged-in users, regardless of their role, can submit events to this calendar.

This calendar will serve as your public calendar, where everyone can submit events.

Premium users will have the ability to create their own calendars since this privilege is set in the “Manage terms” option.

You can check these settings at: https://stachethemes.com/calendar-try-before-buy/wp-admin

to clarify, is multi-site (subsites) feature different from Group pages?

Yes, it is different.

The multi-site feature allows supporting multiple separate websites within one installation, known as “subsites.” Each subsite can have its unique domain or subdomain. While they share the same core codebase and resources, they function independently, allowing various configurations and customizations per site.

i emailed ouy, would like to get this resolved as were supposed to be live and I cant seem to get rid of it.

Your key has been reset.

that worked thank you so much

ok and can a user do a proximity search starting from a town that they indicate manually (visitors sometimes search around them but are also prepared to travel and in this case they search for events around a specific town).

At the moment the proximity filter only searches for events near the user location with option to increase the radius.

Your suggestion is interesting and I will see to implement it soon.

Hi,

The feature to search for events near a certain location has been implement as of version 5.0.4

You can check it out here:

You could use the Gutenberg block “Events List” ( /stec_eventslist )

or the shortcode

[stec_events_list min_date=2023-01-01 max_date=2025-01-01 order=asc limit=15 stec_cat=783]

min_date: Specifies the earliest date for events to be displayed.
max_date: Specifies the latest date for events to be displayed.
order: Sets the order in which events will be listed.
limit: Determines the maximum number of events to be shown. I don’t recommend more than 100…
stec_cat: Filters events based on category.

1) When creating a new location/venue, you have the option to select either a physical or virtual type of location.

2) You can create repeated events that occur daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. These events can be set to repeat on specific days or dates, such as the 2nd Tuesday of every month.

3) Once a ticket order is made, an admin can scan and validate it using a generated QR Code. To access the scanner, navigate to the Dashboard -> STEC -> Tickets Orders -> Scan QR Code.

4) The ability to submit events is determined by the calendar’s “Use Permissions” settings. Each calendar has its own set of permission settings.

5) The calendar operates entirely through the WordPress REST API (e.g. https://stachethemes.com/calendar/wp-json/stec/v5/events )

6) Super admins have access to all events in the Manage Events section, regardless of their permission settings.

7) Yes, each event has its own unique URL. For repeated events, the recurrence date is appended at the end of the URL to differentiate them.

You can test the admin section by visiting:

Username: demo Password: demo

ok. thanks

Hi,

Could you please open a ticket at https://stachethemes.ticksy.com/ and provide me with a screenshot of the issue you’re referring to?

Thanks for the great support!

Turned out there is a way to use the internal WordPress TinyMCE js file ( wp-includes/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js ) so I will add this as an option this week.

Okay, I’ve just updated the calendar and added this option.

Go to STEC -> Settings -> Misc -> TinyMCE Custom Script Source

and point to your custom tinymce js file.

By default the WordPress tinyMCE file is in wp-includes/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js

e.g. https://example.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tinymce.min.js

Hello Stachethemes,

this is so cool, thank you very much, working perfectly and no more GDPR problems

Best regards.

Hi,

At the moment websites running version 3 are not encouraged to update to version 5 unless they want to start building their events anew. Migration tool will be released somewhere next month.

Great, thank you! I will wait.

Hi,

Set your location to virtual and add any URL and additional details in the location details field. You can also make it private, allowing only attendees to view the information.

Hi,

Send me your purchase keys to stachethemes@gmail.com and I will reset them for you.

What PHP version are you running?

7.4.30

Okay, please do try following:

1) Open the file / stachethemes_event_calendar / stec.php

2) Go to line 371. You should be seeing this line:

            STEC_PLUGIN_VERSION,

3) Remove the comma at the end of this line.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Elementor is no longer required since the calendar has its own builder now.

There are no event images is always error

The problem is fixed. Your theme uses custom image sizes unknown to the event schema and this was preventing the data from being updated.

Hi,

Sorry, I am not familiar with this plugin. Is it possible to open a ticket at https://stachethemes.ticksy.com/ and send me plugin to check it out?

What version of the calendar are you running?

It is a popular plugin and available her on codecanyon (https://codecanyon.net/item/easy-social-share-buttons-for-wordpress/6394476).

I am running version 3.3.3 of the calendar.

I realized that also other plugins do not recognize the post type !”stec_event”, so it is a bit hard to use the calendar with other plugins.

By the way: I updated to version 5 on a non-productive site and it was a mess. Calendar are gone, for events only images are shown. If someone does not look into some comments, he may run into serious problems on a live site if he updates to version 5. When will the migration toll be availabe?

The migration tool will be released next month.

Hi,

I am afraid you will have to hide it via css.

Go to Dashboard -> STEC -> Fonts & Colors -> Custom style tab and add following:

.stec-layout-agenda-noevents { display: none !important; }

Thank you.

Hi,

The form is identical for each event.

Hi, I have just activated your calendar on gre…domain

Thank you

Hello,

Please ensure that the Calendar or Event Back-end visibility option is not configured as “Public.” This setting governs the permission to edit the event and determines who has access to it.

As a last resort you can insert a hook in your theme or child-theme functions.php file which will enforce custom conditions:

/**
 * Enforce user can edit event only if they can edit posts
 * @param null $default if returned the plugin will respect the default conditions set in the plugin settings
 * @param Event_Post $event_post event post object
 */
add_action('stec_user_can_edit_event', function($default, $event_post){

    if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') ) {
        return true;
    }

    return false;

});

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to include shortcodes in the description.

However, if your shortcodes depend on JavaScript, you will have to configure the calendar settings to open events in “Single page” mode. By doing so, the calendar will load the content directly instead of using AJAX, ensuring that the required JavaScript files are included.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance or clarification.
