I just set up event espresso today. It’s going well but there are a few things that I’m not finding solutions for or anything mentioned in the documentation. I have five courses that I each offer approximately monthly, and most of those courses occur over a period of days, often non-consecutively. So course A might be on the 10th to the 12th this month, but on the 7, 14, and 21st another month, while course B could be doing something similar. I have 5 events in EE, and for each month for each course I have a ticket, and each of those tickets includes a few event-dates, none of which are shared between tickets.
Here’s a link to one of the event pages. https://www.affinitywellnesseducation.com/courses/trauma-informed-care/
I do not like that the page shows every possible ticket for this course. If they are selecting to register for a course in october, then it should just show the october course, not other months. Or am I not setting this up the way I’m supposed to be?
Similarly, the “filter by date” dropdown box is a nice idea, but why does it say “to view additional ticket options….” when all of the boxes are already selected. This only makes sense if they are not selected to begin with. It should only select the event-dates that are relevant to the ticket that was selected from the calendar or list.
Also, how do I get it to not display the featured image for each event? It takes up too much room. Is it a fixed size or does it depend on the actual size of the uploaded image?
Lastly, I do not want every one of those event-dates to show up at the bottom of each event’s page. It’s just a mess. I have the setting to display event-dates turned OFF but it does it anyway.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there,
When you select an event in the calendar you are directed towards that event, EE does not filter any of the ticket/datetimes options on that event based on what was clicked in the calendar at this time.
I do not like that the page shows every possible ticket for this course. If they are selecting to register for a course in october, then it should just show the october course, not other months. Or am I not setting this up the way I’m supposed to be?
To do that you would need to create an individual event for each month rather than one event with multiple datetimes and tickets. Then when the user click for events in October, they would see the October event etc.
It looks you may have now done this already, correct?
Similarly, the “filter by date” dropdown box is a nice idea, but why does it say “to view additional ticket options….” when all of the boxes are already selected. This only makes sense if they are not selected to begin with. It should only select the event-dates that are relevant to the ticket that was selected from the calendar or list.
This ties into the selection above, EE does not currently filter tickets/datetimes based on the calendar selection.
The ticket/datetime filter is there as a way to help filter many ticket options in the ticket selector down.
Also, how do I get it to not display the featured image for each event? It takes up too much room. Is it a fixed size or does it depend on the actual size of the uploaded image?
Is this on the Calendar or event itself?
The calendar has options in Event Espresso -> Calendar. The option ‘Enable Images in Calendar’ set if the calendar should display the feature image or not.
The single event feature image is controlled by your theme, if there isn’t an option to disable within within the theme it can be hidden using CSS.
Lastly, I do not want every one of those event-dates to show up at the bottom of each event’s page. It’s just a mess. I have the setting to display event-dates turned OFF but it does it anyway.
Which option are you referring to please? We don’t have an option to hide the datetimes on the single event output, we do have one for the event list pages which I assume is what you are referring to above?
Event Espresso -> Events -> Templates -> Event list pages -> Display Datetimes.
For the single event output if you don’t want those output you can use some CSS like this:
.single-espresso_events .event-datetimes {
display: none;
}
Add that to Dashboard -> Appearance -> Customize -> Additional CSS.

Thank you. What would the CSS be for hiding the image in the single event page?

I guess it makes sense to make a separate course every single time I do that same course, but it’s extremely tedious to have lots of those same courses and have to edit them separately every time I want to change the description. I wasn’t expecting to have to do that as I was imagining I would have a handful of courses that didn’t change, not an ever growing number of courses. But I can also see how over time the need to make multiple changes would decline.

It depends on the markup used by the theme, can you link me to an event with a featured image so I can take a look?

Well that one was easy enough 🙂
This should hide it on the single events:
.single-espresso_events .featured-image {
display: none;
}

Awesome. yes, that works.
What CSS would eliminate it from the /events/ list page? (which on my site is now /courses/)

For your your theme it needs to be:
.post-type-archive-espresso_events .post-image {
display: none;
}
