Hi there,

As of version 6.14.0 of The Events Calendar, the functionality previously provided by the standalone Category Colors plugin has been officially integrated into the core plugin, so the standalone Category Colors plugin will be discontinued as it’s not needed anymore 🙂

You can read the full announcement and details here: Category Colors Now Included in The Events Calendar.

For your existing settings and styles to carry over properly, you need to complete a one-time migration process explained on the article shared above.

🔁 Important Notes:

• Migration is required to preserve your existing color settings.
• The standalone Category Colors plugin will be automatically deactivated after migration. Once you’re confident everything works, it’s safe to delete it.
• Migration is one-way and cannot be undone, so it’s recommended to back up your site beforehand (just to be safe).

Additional Notes:

• The new implementation uses the same basic concept (color assignments by category), but the settings interface and codebase have been streamlined for better performance and compatibility going forward.
• If you had custom CSS or filters tied to the old plugin, they may need to be adjusted. Feel free to share those snippets if you need help updating them.

Hi there,

I can see that your issue is related to the Event Tickets plugin, while this forum is focused on the Events Calendar plugin only…

To help us keep things organized, would you please open a forum thread on the appropriate forum instead?

Best regards,

Hi there,

That sounds like an old issue that was already fixed some time ago… Would you please update your Events Calendar plugin to the most recent version, and try that again?

Hi @nordiskastil,

Thank you for contacting us. I’ll be happy to help you.

We’re aware of that issue and are working to regenerate all the language files and solve it for everyone. We’ll be back here once we have good news about it.

Hi there,

You can enable third-party event submission and ticketing with Community Events & Community Tickets plugins.

Note that we are unable to share more of this here for us to follow forum guidelines regarding Premium features, but you can learn more about those plugins on the plugin pages linked above.

Hi @ron!

Guga here, from the Events Calendar support team.

The Events Calendar doesn’t provide an integration with AIOSEO, and as mentioned by @arnaudbroes, the “Event Date” you see in the AIOSEO smart tags is the post type publication date, and not the event meta field which stores the event start date.

Adding the Event start date would require a customization, getting the correspondent meta field from a post and insert that on the title.

As an example, I can share a small PHP snippet that shows how to create a custom function to get the event start date and register it for the Yoast SEO plugin, and maybe @arnaudbroes can show us how to register that as a new variable for the AIOSEO smart tags instead.

Here’s how to do it when using Yoast SEO:

if ( class_exists('Tribe__Events__Main') && class_exists ('WPSEO_Frontend') ) {
  // SINGLE EVENT - Variable
  // Add the event start date variable.
  function get_tec_event_start_date() {
    $event_id = get_the_ID();
    $start_date = tribe_get_start_date( $event_id, false, tribe_get_date_format() );
    return $start_date;
  }

  // Add the event end date variable.
  function get_tec_event_end_date() {
    $event_id = get_the_ID();
    $end_date = tribe_get_end_date( $event_id, false, tribe_get_date_format() );
    return $end_date;
  }

function register_custom_yoast_variables() {
  wpseo_register_var_replacement( '%%event_start_date%%','get_tec_event_start_date','advanced','Get the event start date' );
  wpseo_register_var_replacement( '%%event_end_date%%','get_tec_event_end_date', 'advanced', 'Get the event end date' );
}

  // Add action
  add_action('wpseo_register_extra_replacements','register_custom_yoast_variables');
}

@arnaudbroes based on that snippet below that register a new variable for the Yoast SEO plugin, can you show us how to do the same but for the AIOSEO plugin?
