An error occurred while saving the comment Hey there,
I have some good news.
As it turns out, you can do that using the export option from Openagenda.com
Simply click on the "Export" button of any agenda and grab the URL of the Google Calendar feed. Once that's done, you can simply import it using Event Aggregator.
Let us know if that helps

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi. Thanks for your detailed message.
The code is currently this: `$meta_data = get_post_meta( ...`
Could you use the "get_{$meta_type}_metadata" filter that ultimately runs within https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_metadata/ ?

We have released a free extension that should at least partially help with changing Google Maps to OpenStreetMaps.
You can find it here:
https://theeventscalendar.com/extensions/openstreetmap/Please note, we do not support extensions to the same degree as our mainstream products.
An error occurred while saving the comment @KalebZen and others... OSM's data still requires using a service to dynamically serve the tiles.
From https://operations.osmfoundation.org/policies/tiles/ > "OpenStreetMap data is free for everyone to use. Our tile servers are not."
You can download all of OSM's "tiles" (1GB download), but they do not provide a hosted (i.e. on-demand) service like Google Maps: e.g. give me the 20 tiles that make up the area around Seattle, WA -- then when the user drags the map North, display those next 14 tiles -- then when they drag the map East, display those next 8 tiles.
There is no OSM tile provider that doesn't require you registering with them to get a free/paid API key. This makes sense, even for free providers (or free usage tier) to avoid unfair/excessive use or abuse.
If you want an alternative to Google Maps because you want a different look/feel or want to extend it to do things another provider can do that GMaps cannot, that's one thing -- but if the request is to not have to register with Google to get an API key, the main difference is that Google requires entering a credit card to obtain an API key and some others do as well and some others do not.
One idea we have is to implement the Leaflet Providers library and then allow you to select any of their supported providers: https://github.com/leaflet-extras/leaflet-providers#providers
Going with a Leaflet solution would add additional customization opportunities but an API key from one of their supported providers would still be required.
Please review and comment back with your ideas for our continued consideration.
Thank you.

An error occurred while saving the comment XML is an incredibly flexible format that can be used for all kinds of things, so we would ideally identify one or two common "flavors" of event-focused XML first of all.
If you're interested in this feature, please help us by sharing examples of XML feeds that you would like to use. Thanks!

Thanks for the votes here. Multiple users report successfully using a third-party plugin to duplicate events. You’ll need to look for a plugin that can duplicate Custom Post Types. There is even third-party plugin meant specifically for our products :-)
Check it out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-tec-event/
An error occurred while saving the comment Hi there! Just wanted to note that using the post Duplicator plugin to duplicate events that have tickets in it, also duplicates the event attendees which might be undesirable in many cases.
Thanks Lauren for flagging this.
An error occurred while saving the comment @Jim We are sorry to hear that this third party plugin does not work well in combination with the SiteOrigin plugin.
In reality, you could use any plugin that duplicates custom post types.
You might have to try a few to find one that works for your situation.You might start with this one: https://wordpress.org/plugins/post-duplicator/
An error occurred while saving the comment Dear Pam,
Thank you for your input on this topic.
As you can imagine, we get a ton of new feature requests every day.
Even though we are super grateful for such an engaged client base, we unfortunately cannot code fast enough to implement all of them.As such, we have to prioritize new features based on User Votes and feedback.
It is also worth noting that until this becomes a part of our plugins, you can absolutely use a third-party free plugin to duplicate events.
There are many of them out there (that support custom post types), but here's one apparently specifically intended for our plugins :-)
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicate-tec-event/
Cheers and Thank you for your understanding!
An error occurred while saving the comment If anyone here does need help getting this solution to work, please open a support topic. The Post Duplicator plugin forums can give you in depth help with that plugin. Our forums can help provide more general advice along with specific details on our Custom Post Type if needed.
Thanks!

We are planning to add this functionality when we have some open development resources to complete it. Thank you all for your patience!
This snippet changes the “iCal Export” buttons to be webcal:// links, which suggests to calendar applications that they should subscribe instead of downloading the .ics file.
It requires The Events Calendar version 4.6.5 or newer.

An error occurred while saving the comment Hi Steph! We can certainly take that on as a general point for all our future development, but I'd be interested to know if there was one or more of our plugins (and/or one or more views/screens) that you were particularly interested in, here. Thanks :-)

Thank you guys so much for your feedback. Work on this is about 50% complete.
However, when we reanalyzed our priorities we realized that some of our new features, like year view, should be put on hold for now to make time for some higher impact endeavors. We are currently focused on bug fixes, architecture improvements, and polishing our current UI. While these improvements are not as “flashy” as new features like year view, they are helping a significantly greater portion of our users than this sort of new feature. Thus, we have to focus on these for a while longer. Once those tasks are complete we will have some extra time for exciting things like finishing year view.
Cheers!
- The Modern Tribe Support TeamAn error occurred while saving the comment Howdy Henryk,
Good question. We do not yet have a beta available.
When year view was about half way complete we had our priorities shift a little bit. We are currently focused on bug fixes, architecture improvements, and polishing our current UI. While these improvements are not as "flashy" as new features like year view, they are helping a significantly greater portion of our users than this sort of new feature. Thus, we have to focus on these for a while longer. Once those tasks are complete we will have some extra time for things like finishing year view.
I will update the status of this to more accurately convey that it is on hold for now, but work will resume as soon as we have time.
Cheers!

An error occurred while saving the comment Howdy Anonymous,
This unfortunately only gets about 1 vote every 3 months. Our more popular feature requests can easily get that in a day. Thus this is naturally lower priority.
To be up front, I doubt it will ever get implemented as a native feature. We get many new feature requests every day, more than we could ever possibly build. And so we rely on various metric to prioritize which ones will actually get built. This one scores low in our metrics.
This might already be possible with third party add-on plugin. Have you tried using any of the HTML to PDF plugins available? For instance, DK PDF claims to be able to support custom post types, and can convert their pages to PDF:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/dk-pdf/Might that work for you?
Cheers!

This is a great idea and we really appreciate you sharing it. It is very possibly something we could build as an extension or an enhancement we could include in of our feature updates. We will continue keeping an eye on this, and slot it as soon as we can amongst our hundreds of other great feature ideas.
Cheers!
- The Modern Tribe Support TeamAn error occurred while saving the comment Howdy Anonymous,
Before responding I just wanted to say I really appreciate your passion for getting this feature on the roadmap. That's a lot of research and I am stoked that your shared it.
The truth is we have hundreds of feature requests we would love to implement, and this is one of them. Some of those feature requests demand many months worth of work, all for one feature request! In total we probably have enough feature ideas to keep us busy for 5-10 years, assuming we ignored every new feature request that comes in during those years.
Obviously we can't do them all, so we have to prioritize. We have many metrics that feed in to prioritizing. One of them is votes, another is forum topics. And while it's hard to quantify, we definitely try and gauge people's passion for a feature as well, passion such as yours. There are many other factors we have to consider, and after considering them all we build out roadmaps. As I stated a couple weeks back, this is something we're keeping an eye on. It gets on average about 2 votes per month. Yet we have feature requests that get 2 votes almost every day. And sadly, 6 forum topics over 4 years is also quite low, though I'm sure we could dig up a few more.
All the same votes are not our only metric. In spite of the relatively low public interest in this feature, we are genuinely hopeful that we can find time to build it. It all comes down to when. Right now our current roadmap goes out about a year, and this isn't on it. Hopefully it will sneak in some day soon.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Cheers!

An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for your continued feedback here. We would love to serve all of your needs. To help with this please share a link to an event feed that you would like to import, if you can.
So far we only have one feed shared with us. We will need a number more to better understand y'alls needs. The one shared thus far appears to put the event's startdate within the <pubDate> field, and it contains no end dates. Thus, any event imported from it would not contain end dates. The only fields that could be imported would be the title, start date, and description. If this sounds like the behavior you would like to see, please let us know!
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the feedback.
Right at this time we're going to leave the status for this request as "Needs More Votes" - simply because while it has already gathered quite a lot of support Gerlando does a great job of highlighting that it is the sort of thing that would likely require some level of developer-expertise for users to take advantage of.
So - while we're not discounting the idea - we would like to see really strong support before moving forward with the concept.
An error occurred while saving the comment Thanks for the suggestion. We would like to see more votes on this and not sure how feasible it would be to import events by rss as we need the start and end dates always formatted the same way. I think more likely we will end up using the WordPress REST API to do something similar once it is integrated into WordPress. But if enough people vote on this, it is certainly something we would look into.
An error occurred while saving the comment Howdy guys,
Is the goal here to import events that are published via RSS from other sources? Or is the goal to include other RSS feeds within the events RSS feed, which can typically be found at: yourdomain.com/events/feed/ ?

Thank you all for your feedback! This is a great idea.
We built a small extension that will hide the organizers and venues of other users from Community Events. Click the link below to for instructions on downloading and using this mini plugin.

Perhaps adding a third-part plugin tying-in to the built-in WordPress comments functionality could work ?
Here a few plugins that seem promising:

We’re continuing our work on a huge revamp of recurring events that would pave the way for recurring tickets. Additionally we’re working on backend improvements to tickets to support this kind of complicated functionality. Please continue to share your use cases in comments so we can strategize the scope of this long-awaited feature.
An error occurred while saving the comment While our tickets may not have functionality like WooCommerce's variable products or grouped products (or maybe your idea is slightly different than either of those), you might be able to benefit from this available snippet: https://gist.github.com/cliffordp/5a769159a2bf64f0b1b1dbbde243d109

An error occurred while saving the comment Per https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/embedding-calendar-views-tribe_events-shortcode/#common, only 1 category can be entered in the shortcode.
I'd like to be able to do something like this:
`[tribe_events categories="bbq,holidays,community" and="true"]`
(since the default would be `and=false` which means OR, not AND)Another name for this shortcode argument might be `filter="and"` or something else.
