Which version of STEC and STEC Lite is compatible with PHP 7.4.33?
The calendar requires at least version 8.0. I believe version 3 of the calendar will run on PHP 5.4.
After translating the POT into a German language file: stec-de_DE.po and stec-de_DE.mo, the Stec section in the admin area is displayed as empty. Regardless of whether I select Stec Dashboard, Settings, or the other Stec sub-items, everything is empty.
Your plugin is therefore completely unusable.
I translated it with Po-Edit. There are no errors in the language file. Then I translated it again with Loco Translate and uploaded it to wp-content – languages – plugin.
The menu items are actually translated correctly.

I sent you an email with all the information. Then I received an email from you asking for WordPress login credentials. I also emailed them to you the same day.
Unfortunately, I haven’t received a response since then, and the problem seems to have not been resolved.
Your plugin is completely unusable in other languages, like German in our case.
After uploading the German Po and Mo files, your plugin is no longer accessible in the backend. The plugin menu items are now translated, but clicking on them only results in blank pages.
So far, there’s been no help or explanation. Can you tell me why?
Can you confirm that you’re working on a solution, or is there none and your plugin won’t be usable in other languages?
I’ve tried accessing your dashboard several times, including today, but every page times out. I get the error: “This site can’t be reached – pj-3.de took too long to respond,” so I’m unable to identify the actual issue.
As for the calendar, it does support language translation – we have numerous clients using it in different languages, so the problem must be coming from somewhere else.

Hi,
I am writing to report an issue with the calendar functionality on the backend. I have successfully added a new calendar, but it fails to display when I attempt to view it. As a result, I am unable to add any events.
Could You please help me with this? Let me know if You need more details.
In the STEC dashboard, go to Settings > Language. Have you turned “Enable multilingual support” on? If so, turn it off and let me know if this fixes the issue.
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve checked this setting. Unfortunately, this hasn’t fixed the issue, and I still can’t see the calendars I created.
I will need admin access to take a look at this. PM stachethemes@gmail.com
Okay, thank You. I have sent the required admin credentials to Your email address.
I will reply here in case someone else has the same problem. Make sure your permalinks (Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks) are not set to Plain, because the REST API currently doesn’t work well with non‑SEO‑friendly links. Set them to Post name or anything else, just not Plain.
You should now be able to see your calendars.
Thank You so much! That was exactly the problem. After changing the permalinks from ‘Plain’, everything works perfectly now.
To give You some context, I’m building the site from scratch and have only installed the plugins so far. I was planning to configure the permalinks at a later stage.
Thanks again for the quick and effective solution!
Hello,
I have changed my domain and would like to deactivate the old one. However, in the Stachethemes Event Calendar Key Manager, I keep getting the message “Error connecting to remote server,” so I am unable to change the domain.
I kindly ask for your assistance.
Best regards, Marco
can custom form input?
Could you elaborate?
Hello,
we cannot use your plugin because we moved the domain to an other. Now your activator says “No route was found that matches the URL and request method.” we cannot deactivate the old Domain and activate the new domain.
Why?
we used this link: https://api3.stachethemes.com/stec/manage
I Cannot send a ticket your ticket system say:
Sorry, support for this Envato Market purchase code has expired. You will need to extend support or purchase a new license.
Of course, I don’t want support; I just want to be able to use what I’ve purchased.
regards
Hi,
Send me your purchase key to stachethemes@gmail.com and I will reset the activation.
Is it possible to have a button for each event that links to an external booking website that handles payment etc? My clients uses TryBooking.com.
Hi, yes it is possible. There is external url option in the event edit page below the event description.
Presales, its possible to create multiple directories?
Hi, what do you mean? If you ask whether you can display events filtered by certain categories, then yes it is possible.
I am trying to renew support after a 12-month support purchased when the plugin was bought. According to Code Canyon, I only have the option to renew for 6 months for $65. But if I re-purchase the plugin I get a full year’s support for $100? XD
This makes no sense. Is there no logical 12-month renewal option?
plugin.
I would like to customize the “From Name” and “From Email Address” that appear in the reminder emails sent to users. Currently, the emails are being sent from:
WordPress wordpress@mysite.comI want to change this to something like:
mysite no-reply@mysite.comYou can use the default WordPress hooks for this:
add_filter('wp_mail_from', function($email) {
return 'yourname@yourdomain.com';
});
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', function($name) {
return 'Your Website Name';
});

Is it possible to make website visitors and non-registered users use the Event Submission Form without having to register on the website?
I found the way – thanks in advance
Support breakdown? ––– I’ve submitted tickets over at https://stachethemes.ticksy.com almost 3 weeks ago. Thanks for looking into those.
Sorry for the late reply.
In your case you should use the WooCommerce native stock quantity option. The manage stock option in the ticket tab is when you want the stock to reset for each individual event and event occurrence.
Hallo, ... you are currently in a repair/update phase or why, no ticket can be sent and the test admin page is not accessible?
Ok, the on this way:) ... the “Event reminders” – after we send a test – are appear/available in the back end. But no reminder email goes to the used email. What is the trick?
Plus – is it not the plugin logic (or better say, should be), that then goes a new/further mail to the used email, after we updated/edited the reminder entry (e.g. with a new/earlier reminder time)?
thx for your quickly reaction GM
The admin test site is accessible again. The host security detected suspicious activity and blocked access to the page.
The reminder relies on wp_mail and wp cron so make sure these two are working on your site.
If you set a new remind with different remind date it will store it separately; it won’t update your previous reminds if that’s what you’re asking.
1 Topic: The admin test page is accessible again. Ok, thanks, and the ticket page is working also again, right?
2 Topic: The reminder is based on wp_mail and wp cron. Principly yes / of course – because it’s a standard WP installation. And now? We’ll check again
By the way – Where is an “Howto” for case like this? (I mean – you and we all safe many support time – when exists like this;)
3 Topic: It’s about the reminder sent/sent by the user. The question is: Why can it be edited? Normally only to create a new/updated/customized/individual reminder (with a customized date/time) and send it again? Or not?!
Thx for your quickly reaction again – GM
Test if your wp mail function is working. There are some free plugins like WP Test Email you can check for this.
Check if your cron jobs are running properly. I’d recommend you the WP Crontrol plugin for this.
The reminder can be edited if the user is logged-in and has access to the calendar dashboard ( front-end ). The Reminder section lists all reminds made by the user.
any new updates to support RTL ?
Hi, we have just purchased your event calendar plugin. It looks like the design is somewhat broken for us?
I’ve tried to delete and reinstalled the plugin to test, but that did not work.
Is this something you could help us with?
— Ticket #3988155
I fixed it thanks to your article about Font Awesome. Thanks!
Hi there,
Are you able to assits. When we create a new event entry, it goes to pending approval which is great but than once approved, it doesnt show up on the front end calendar. Are we missing something? We have tried to review all the settings and nothing is standing out.
Thank you
Hi,
Could you open a ticket at https://stachethemes.ticksy.com/ and provide me with wp-admin to take a look at this?
Thank you for the prompt reply.
Private Ticket #3985042
Great plugin, with multiple features and easy admin control
Missed, “wishlist” feature, so the users can track their favourite sessions, hope to see it soon in this great plugin
Hi,
Most likely this feature will be included in the future.
Quick question.
I have a client who is running an old version of your plugin (version 3.2.4). I understand I have to remove it and start new with the latest version. But what is the best way to completely remove this old version and all it’s data?
Hi,
The only collision than can happen is with “stec_event” custom post types.
If your client doesn’t use event tickets you can try to migrate to the new database using the Migrate tool under the “STEC” dashboard menu.
Otherwise deleting your old events and then uninstalling the calendar is enough.
Hello,
Do you guys not check your support tickets? I have sent a ticket in a few days ago still no reply. Private Ticket #3962817
How do you make the submission of events to display withouth a user needing to login? In other words, I dont want the user needing to log in to submit an event. Please adice.
Thanks
Hi,
Sorry if I missed your ticket.
To remove the login requirement, go to the Calendar Dashboard > Settings > Dashboard tab.
Scroll down to the “Manage Events” option and add “Public” role from the dropdown.
The “Manage Events” option acts as a master switch.
The calendar where you want users to submit their events must also have the “Public” role added in its “Use Permission” settings.
All good, thank you very much, I missed that completly.
One other question, the builder template was modified to add a image upload buton however when doing a test I get the following error during submission ” meta.images0[full] is not of type string.” any addtional changes I need to do other than adding the image upload to the builder template?
Thank you
I will need to take a look at this. Is it possible to open a ticket and send me credentials to the website to test it myself?
Hi there,
I just replied to the ticket. Something is off with this front display where new events are stil not showing and recurrent ones arent either. If you can take a look at the ticket that will be great. Thank you
Hi there,
I’m currently testing your event calendar plugin and really like what I see so far! I do have a few questions before purchasing:
I’ve noticed that recurring events are marked as “expired” when I view the individual event permalink. For example, I have weekly markets that occur three times a week using the rule FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=TU,TH,SA. However, when I open the event’s permalink, it only shows past occurrences and doesn’t switch to the next upcoming one within the same week. Ideally, it should automatically move to the next instance (e.g. from Tuesday to Thursday) and show a countdown or time info for the next occurrence, rather than marking the event as expired. Is there a way to achieve this behavior?
I’m considering buying the Pro version but noticed the demo doesn’t allow testing of Pro features like dataset imports or 3rd party integrations. Do you offer a refund policy in case the Pro version doesn’t meet my needs after testing it in more detail?
Lastly, do you have a discount code available at the moment?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards~
Hi,
When handling recurring events, the calendar appends the recurrence date to the permalink, like this:
https://stachethemes.com/calendar/events/mystery-book-club-discussion/2025-04-25T19:00/These URLs are generated automatically by the calendar.
Visiting just https://stachethemes.com/calendar/events/mystery-book-club-discussion/ will display the first recurrence. It does not automatically redirect to the next one.
Have you checked the admin demo for testing? https://stachethemes.com/calendar-try-before-buy/wp-admin/ For information about refunds, please refer to the Envato refund policy: https://themeforest.net/page/customer_refund_policyThere is currently no active discount code.
Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply!
Regarding the recurring events showing as “expired”: I understand that the permalinks are structured on the first dated event-occurrence, but from a user and visitor perspective, this is a major issue. Showing the countdown only for the first recurrence and marking it as expired for all others makes the entire idea of recurring events with countdowns feel broken – especially for use cases like markets or classes that happen multiple times a week.
This seems like a basic feature that many users would expect: if the event is recurring, the permalink should load the next upcoming event-occurrence based on the current date (e.g. TU > TH > SA) rather than defaulting to an “expired” one.
Is this something that could be addressed in a future update (like anytime soon?)? For many of us using recurring events (with countdown), this is a key requirement – and frankly a dealbreaker without it.
Thanks again!
Best regards
Hi,
I am still waiting for a meaningful response in order to make a purchasing decision.
It is absolutely essential that upcoming recurring events are displayed with an active countdown, rather than showing expired ones. This is a major flaw in the current version of your plugin and, if not addressed, makes the whole thing obsolete (!).
You charge 79$, but this main feature is not working. Please review this issue carefully and let us know whether you plan to update the plugin to properly support countdowns for recurring events.
Thank you.
P.S.: I can’t believe that this issue has not been addressed in almost 10 years.
Hi,
The primary permalink is the first occurrence of the event. All subsequent occurrences have an extra URL parameter with the recurrence date, which tells the calendar which occurrence the user is viewing. When navigating through the calendar, this data is attached so the user won’t accidentally go to the first occurrence unless they intend to do so.
I understand your issue with this. You want the primary permalink to always display the current recurrence. I believe this can be easily addressed. I will update the plugin by the end of the week to include this feature.
Now that you mentioned the price… We charge $79, but there are no hidden costs, paid addons, or anything else. This also includes support, so I think the price is reasonable compared to what others charge, right?
Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
Just to clarify: I really like what you’ve built, and honestly, I would have no problem paying $100 for it. However, it’s absolutely crucial that the countdown always shows the next upcoming occurrence, rather than displaying “expired” just because a past event has occurred. Especially because the countdown is a main feature.
For use cases like classes or open markets, it’s essential that users see active upcoming events, not expired ones, when there are still future (recurring) dates available.
I appreciate your commitment to updating the plugin and will hold off looking for an alternative solution. Looking forward to your update – keep up the great work!
Best regards~
I understand the issue. There is a reason in it, and I will start working on it today.
Thanks. Looking forward to your patch notes.
