Hi,
I bought a theme that use Visual Composer to improve layouts. I realize the Visual Composer (VC) editor doesn’t load into the WYSIWYG editor when I try to create or edit an event, neither load into a Advanced Custom field.
Most of Visual composer scripts are not loading in “add new event page”, something in the event CPT editor is preventing the scripts VC needs to load properly.
I’ve read other support question about VC and EE, but your answer is about integrate EE and VC. I don’t need integration, I just need to customize an event description with Visual Composer with the theme I chose.
Thank you in advance

Hi Jorge,
We haven’t built in support for the Visual Composer to make it work with the event description editor. If we, or someone else does, I’ll be sure to update this thread and let you know that there’s a solution available.

Thanks for your answer, but is there any way to allow other javascripts in the Add new event page?
Regards

Hi,
EE event editor/creation page doesn’t allow other javascript to load (metabox.io plugin for example or visual composer) I tried with a custom post type of my creation and those scripts load as expected.
When I look at the source code of event creation page I missed those javascripts.
Regards,

Hi Jorge,
It turns out that there is not code in Event Espresso that’s specifically disallowing other scripts to load in its admin pages. Sometimes we wish we could make that happen to prevent other scripts from loading in and causing breakage.
The third party scripts that are not included in WP core get loaded onto the event editor admin page via the admin_enqueue_scripts action hook.

Hi Josh,
it is strange because the javascript issue only happens on EE custom post types.
By the way, I’m trying another approach:
Embedding every single event into pages (pages has all the visual capabilities, layout, etc I need) via shortcode. And let the event original post type to manage the event detail and the pages to visualize them. So the event post type will be hide from my customers.
But I’m afraid every link in emails, widgets, cart will point to the event url instead of the page url. Is there an easy way to override the event url in the shortcodes, cart, widgets, … Is this a crazy idea?

Hi,
Crazy idea? No it isn’t, but it will be very hard to pull off as the plugin is always looking to the event’s url.
A redirect plugin *might* work, I haven’t tested it though.
Does the plugin work with other custom post types?
Is it possible to send us a copy of the plugin, I’m intrigued as to why this won’t work. You can send it to support@eventespresso.com

Hi,
I solved it using Yoast SEO plugin redirection field and shortcodes. It works!
About the plugin, it is metabox.io meta boxes and it is free, when I try to create an advanced image field metabox. It doesn’t load the necessary javascripts.
Thank you for your support
