Feature Ideas
Hey there and welcome to our feature request forum for The Events Calendar, Event Tickets and all of the premium plugins we develop provide on TheEventsCalendar.com!
We’re always looking for new and awesome ways to improve our products. We think they’re pretty great out of the box, but we also know that there are often things that could make them even better for how folks like yourself use them in the real world. Our tools help the right people, get to the right place at the right time. How can we improve our products and make them super awesome for you and your users? That’s where we can use your help!
If there are features that our products do not currently support but you think would be a huge added value for you and lots of other people, then please share them here with us. The submission form will walk you through a few quick questions to get the ball rolling.
Before posting your idea, here are a few tips that will help make your request stand out and succeed:
- Look to see if someone else has suggested the same idea, or something very similar. Many ideas are being submitted and it’s very possible that another request already exists. In that case, add your vote to the existing request.
- Be as descriptive as possible. What does the feature do? Where would it be located? Who would use it? How does this improve the overall experience of managing an events calendar in WordPress?
- Use mockups, if possible. Pictures are worth a thousand words and having a visual often brings a greater level of clarity to an idea.
Please not, this is not a place to get support or ask questions about how the plugin works. If you need help, please visit our support forums. If you use our free core plugin, you can post in our forum on WordPress.org.

Dropdown in the ticket area
Wouldn't i be nice have a dropdown in the ticket area so the user can just choose a ticket (when having multiple tickets) at that line and not having to scroll down (Bad UX when having many types of tickets). After the ticket is selected the right price is shown and you can just fill in the attendee information and go to the check out.

Make 'Categories' available via the REST Api
A simple list of all of the event categories in a separate url would be extremely handy!
Exactly like the current wp-json/wp/v2/categories
Thanks
2 votesThank you for taking the time to reach out and share an idea. It’s good to know what would be handy for the devs.
To quote our chief strategist “we’ll be adding it for sure”. We do not have an ETA. This was just added to our roadmap which maps out over a years worth of the team’s time and is full up at the moment. But as soon as we’re able this feature will be added. Hopefully it is something we can slip in when there is a small opening.
Cheers!

have a sample excel file with the column headings that one can copy the headings quickly
I have imported many csv files to applications. Another plugin has a sample excel file with all the headings that I can just copy into mine. I can see in seconds how to do it as all I need are the headings spelled exactly as need which I copy and paste. Your instructions make it incredibly more complex than it needs to be and I they headings are in rows, not columns, and you can't copy it. You make it a lot of work when it isn't.

Change ticket purchase form position on individual events
I know that I can change the position of the ticket purchase form globally via Events > Settings > Tickets > Location of Tickets form. For a site with a majority of impulse-purchase events that are low cost, it is a good idea to put the ticket form at the top so people can click it and buy immediately.
But there are times, for a few expensive events, when it is better to place the ticket purchase form at the end of the "long sell" so people don't get sticker shock at the top of the event page and click…

Two views on one page
Hi. I would love it if it were possible to somehow have two different views on one page simultaneously. For example, the month view on top, and the picture view below.
I know this is not possible with shortcodes. "First, there can only be one “main calendar view” per page! This means that you cannot use the [tribe_events] shortcode on the main events page, and you cannot have multiple [tribe_events] shortcodes on a single page.", however I would be overjoyed if there was a way to hack it together in PHP. I attempted to do just that, by setting up…

Combine the Advanced Filter Bar with Standard Tribe Bar
It would be great if the advanced filter bar completely replaced the standard bar once installed. This was we can maintain the functionality of both, but only have a single filter/search bar on the screen. Right now it is a bit confusing to have two separate filters. I have noticed several complains on the forums and on the feature request page stating that viewers are becoming confused by the filter options and unable to find their desired events. Although many solutions have been proposed, I think merging the two bars would mitigate a majority of the concerns and reduce space…

I have forwarded these. We would love to see votes on this :-)

Make exporting reports better with fees, payment gateway by event
Hey,
It would be nice to be able to export an event with all the details:
Tickets Type Sold, Quantity, Ticket Face Value, Fees, Additional Fees, Payment Gateway
This way getting all that information doesn't require 4 different exports and saves time when responding to your organizers.
Can we make this happen?
Cheers

Add a checkbox in settings to turn on headers to separate and display the events each day in the list mode.
in list mode, I need the option of separating events by day, with a simple date header

IP Location "Events Near Me"
I suggest to have the user locate “Events Near Me” by utilizing the IP location on their smart device rather than typing in a certain city.

Mark import as featured
It would be great if imports could be marked as featured so that all events from that source get featured tag rather than having to go in and manually mark them.

Option to Disable the REST API
I've been running ADA compliance scans on a few of my sites and this keeps coming up. They keep flagging a broken link in the <head>. This one in particular.. "<link rel="htt://theeventscalendar.com" href="https://www.hometrustbanking.com/wp-json/tribe/events/v1/">". First off, there's a typo in the "rel" attribute. You have "htt://" which should be "http://". That's not the link these scans are fussing about though.
The issue is with the href attribute and the url request returning a 404 status. We're not using the REST API on any of our sites so we end up with this link in the head of…

One-page Checkout on Event pages
For a streamlined purchase process, put the checkout form directly on the Event page. (See Woocommerce One-Page Checkout by Prospress)
This would also solve the request by several people to be able to skip the Cart page to go direct to Checkout, and might also resolve the issue of quantities being changed in the Cart or at Checkout.
If there were a dynamic panel right above the checkout form that summarized the custom data fields that would also potentially resolve the issue of making changes during checkout that are then not reflected in those fields .
There are a few…

Tickets Grouping
Would be really nice if there was a grouping option for tickets to make it less messing when there are many tickets options, something like the image below.

include link privacy policy automatically for each event
Privacy policies are required by EU law for anyone collecting personal information. This should show up automatically as a link or something on the event page. And everyone who RSVP's or buys tickets for an event should have to tick a box where they accept the privacy policy (and terms & conditions, which was already in another suggestion (vote for that too!)).

Collect All Attendee Information on a Separate Page
I'm happy to see that we can now collect info from all attendees. However, it is a bit problematic to collect this information on the event page. It would be a more advantageous workflow if the users were allowed to input the attendee information on either the checkout page or a page specifically designed for this purpose. Requesting attendee information on the event page causes design conflicts and can make the page very cluttered/large depending upon the amount of tickets purchased and information requested. I highly recommend that you adjust the UX accordingly for a more user friendly experience.

Link to Latest Post for Recurring Events
Setting it so that a predefined link, for example:
e.g. www.mywebsite.com/event/abc/latest
... always goes to the latest event for recurring posts. At the moment, if I want to link to a recurring event in a blog (for example) then I either need to link to www.mywebsite.com/event/abc/all which displays all the currently listed events OR www.mywebsite.com/event/abc/2017-05-06 (or some other date) which will eventually lead the user to the "this event has passed".

Check if importing from Facebook URL already
I have added a URL in twice as Facebook schedule. I forgot I was importing from that Facebook page already.
If it could check the main URL (excluding any attributes such as ?fref=pb&hc_location=profile_browser as an example ) or at least have a search box to filter imports by name it would clear up this slight issue.

Thanks for submitting this. Indeed this would be a useful addition. Let’s see if it gets more votes.

edit single item in series
Hi,
Add a way to edit a single item in a recurring event, so that you can edit one date instead of changing all of them
