Hi David,

I’m sorry but I’m not sure I understand.

Could you explain this a little further please? Possible add a screenshot to highlight the problem (I recommend using something like https://monosnap.com/)

Hi Tony,

I cannot place the screen cap here.

In the WordPress page / post , we have the ‘’help’’ option for the editor to overview the page. But don’t know is it the Event Espresso not compatible with WordPress 4.0 and qtranslate plus.

In Event Espresso page, the ‘’help’’ option not display out.

As there are two editing modes under Event Espresso. One is view mode and the other one is wording mode. When work in view mode then click to wording mode, after this action I cannot return back to view mode.

Hi,

So the problem is that if you switch to the TEXT tab in the event editor, you can no longer switch back to the VISUAL tab?

If so, does this issue stop happening if you disable qTranslate?

Hi,

As our website must need to use qTranslate,any other solution can help?


Dean

Hi,

That’s fine, but can you temporarily disable it to see if the issue is being caused by qTranslate – that way we can either confirm it is the problem or rule it out and check other things.

Hi,

Yes, when we close the qtranslate, it works. But we must need qtranslate in the website, any method to suggest?

Hi David,

This is a conflict between qTranslate and WordPress 4.0 (not Event Espresso)

I installed qTranslate locally, edited a standard WP page and get the same results as yourself, on a standard WP page I can not switch between Visual and Text mode.

Looking at the qTranslate Support Forum you will find multiple posts stating qTranslate is not compatible with WP 4.0

If you notice on each page you see this notice:

The qTranslate Editor has disabled itself because it hasn’t been tested with your WordPress version yet. This is done to prevent WordPress from malfunctioning. You can reenable it by clicking here (may cause data loss! Use at own risk!). To remove this message permanently, please update qTranslate to the corresponding version.

However there is no corresponding version for WordPress 4.0 currently. Clicking the link within that notice allows you to enable qTranslate on that page, but as you see, it does not function correctly.

You will need to contact the author of qTranslate to see when it will support WP 4.0

Hi,

But we are using qtranslate plus so will not conflict with wordpess 4.0.

We don’t have a copy of “qtranslate plus” to test with. Can you send a zip file of it to support at eventespresso dot com?

NVM, We found the qtranslate plus on wp.org
Unfortunately, at this point, we are not going to be able to find the conflict. I can tell you that it is a javascript error, but I cannot determine whether or not it is a problem with our javascript, or qtranslate’s javascript. I did find a workaround that may help you out, though. If you have the standard WP post editor open in another tab, and switch the tab there from text to visual, then hit the update button on the event you are working on, it will reload the editor in the visual mode.

Thanks your suggestion. I also encounter another question. In the widget part, can the event list, calendar and tag list be different in various category/ sub category pages? If yes, how do I set it ?


Dean

October 24, 2014 at 5:42 am

Hi David,

In general widgets do not change based on content (e.g. one widget showing on one page and another when viewing a different page).

There are some plugins that can assist with this though such as https://wordpress.org/plugins/per-page-widgets/ (there may be others as well, it was the first I came across).


Dean

Hi,

Thanks. For the event expresso, how can I insert the tag cloud in it?


Dean

October 29, 2014 at 3:22 am

Hi,

Insert a widget into the event description? Again this is not possible without the aid of other plugins. I have not tested anything but something like this may assist http://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-add-wordpress-widgets-in-post-and-page-content/

Hi,

Sorry the question should be how to add the tag function in the event page. It seems that event expresso not compatible with tag function.


Dean

November 3, 2014 at 6:01 am

Hi,

Event Espresso events do not use the tag feature.


David Yim

November 4, 2014 at 12:38 am

Hi,

Are there any plugin can allow me to use the tag feature? If I really need the tag feature in event page, any method can advise?


Dean

November 4, 2014 at 3:01 am

Hi,

Actually yes there is. Looking into the code in more depth, there is a filter that allows the Custom Post Types to be modified.

Adding tags should be possible with the following code that can be added into your themes functions.php or ideally a custom functions plugin (https://eventespresso.com/wiki/create-site-specific-plugin-wordpress-site/).

add_filter('FHEE__EE_Register_CPTs__construct__CPTs','make_events_use_tags');
function make_events_use_tags($x) {
	array_push($x['espresso_events']['args']['taxonomies'], 'tag');
	return $x;
}

Hi,

We follow your code but still not work. Could you give us the codes in details ?


David Yim

November 9, 2014 at 8:02 pm

Hi,

Can anyone help? As the tag function is important of the event part in my website.
Thanks!


Dean

November 10, 2014 at 3:51 am

Hi,

Where did you add the code to?

I double checked the code and it looks like it is working fine on my end.

Hi,

We added in the Cheme. Here the screen cap for your reference.

Hi,

What exact version of EE are you running? It looks like tags have been added by default as of 4.4.4, though the above code should not interfere with that.

Is it possible to get your login details in order to look into this?

If so, please send them via https://eventespresso.com/send-login-details/

NOTE: login details need to be Admin level

Hi,

We are using version 3. As we know version 4 is supported tag function, but we already completed the website so cannot upgrade to 4. Is it the code you provide to me will be available in version 3 ?

Hi David,

You can add tags in EE3 by using the Create a Post feature. You’ll find the Create a Post box at the bottom of the event editor page, where you’ll also see the Tags field.

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s4/sh/3eef0fc0-35bd-4ea2-9ff3-1aae918e63c7/a52ea4507479582793d63e6c80533328

I should let you know that EE4 has an update path from EE3, so it is possible to update from EE3 to EE4. Please note that EE4 doesn’t have promo codes or all the same gateways and add-ons that EE3 has. There is more information about the differences between the two here:

Hi,

As I checked that EE4 don’t have business license, if I just use the update path from EE3 to EE4 any problem will occur?


David Yim

November 13, 2014 at 8:51 pm

Hi,

One more question is it the EE4 and EE3 tag function are the same ? For the EE3, we just need to do one more action which create a post to add the tag, right ? For the frontend display, they are the same ?

Hi, I would like to know is it event expresso support multiple language? Because I try to add coding in the content but it can not separately show the content out in Eng and Chinese.

The EE3 Business license includes access to EE4 (and relevant EE4 Add-ons), you can use your license on one site, with either EE3 or EE4 without issue.

One more question is it the EE4 and EE3 tag function are the same ? For the EE3, we just need to do one more action which create a post to add the tag, right ? For the frontend display, they are the same ?

EE3 and EE4 are vastly different systems. EE4 is not simply an update to EE3 but a completely new system built from the ground up. I would recommend you install EE4 locally on a development copy of the site first to see if firstly EE4 will work for your requirements (for example EE4 currently does not support Promo codes) and also you can then see if there are any issues with your theme, plugins conflicts etc to work through before doing so on live.

Currently Event Espresso does not support Multiple Languages.
