From the dashboard of your site, navigate to Plugins --> Add New. 2. Select the Upload option and hit "Choose File." 3. When the popup appears select the the-events-calendar-x.x.zip file from your desktop. (The 'x.x' will change depending on the current version number). 4. Follow the on-screen instructions and wait as the upload completes. 5. When it's finished, activate the plugin via the prompt. A message will show confirming activation was successful. A link to access the calendar directly on the frontend will be presented here as well. That's it! Just configure your settings as you see fit, and you're on your way to creating events in style. Now that you're all set up and ready to go, how about checking out the new user primer to familiarize yourself with what's in store?

Month View with Full Styles == Frequently Asked Questions == = Is there a shortcode available for The Events Calendar? = No, this plugin does not use a shortcode nor is one available at the time being. However, you may want to check out the experimental, totally unsupported Event Rocket add-on to see if it accomplishes your shortcode needs. = Are there any troubleshooting steps you'd suggest I try that might resolve my issue before I post a new thread? = First, make sure that you're running the latest version of The Events Calendar (3.5.1 as of this release). If you're running Events Calendar PRO it needs to match the version number of The Events Calendar. And if you've got any other add-ons, make sure those are current / running the latest code as well. The most common issues we see are either plugin or theme conflicts. You can test if a plugin or theme is conflicting by manually deactivating other plugins until just The Events Calendar 3.5.1 is running on your site. If the issue persists from there, revert to the default Twenty Fourteen theme. If the issue is resolved after deactivating a specific plugin or your theme, you'll know that is the source of the conflict. Note that we aren't going to say "tough luck" if you identify a plugin/theme conflict. While we can't guarantee 100% integration with any plugin or theme out there, we will do our best (and reach out the plugin/theme author as needed) to figure out a solution that benefits everyone. = I'm still stuck. Where do I go to file a bug or ask a question? = Users of the free The Events Calendar should post their questions in the plugin's WordPress.org forum, which we hit about once a week (on Wednesdays). Please make sure to read our sticky post providing an overview of the support we provide free users BEFORE posting. If you find you're not getting support in as timely a fashion as you wish, you might want to consider purchasing a PRO license. If you're already a PRO user, you're entitled access to our more actively-monitored PRO forums at the tri.be website. We can provide a deeper level of support here and hit these forums on a daily basis during the work week. Generally, except in times of increased support loads, we reply to all comments within 24-48 hours during the business week. = Events Calendar PRO looks awesome! I'm sold! How can I get my hands on it? = Events Calendar PRO can be purchased directly at the tri.be website. There are three (3) license types available, and all licenses include 1 year of access to support + updates. = I'm interested in PRO or another add-on, but there are a few questions I've got before making the purchase. Can you help me get those addressed? = Absolutely. If you're not finding your questions answered on the product pages, hit up our pre-sale forum at the tri.be site. You can save yourself some time by reviewing the threads first to verify if your question has already been asked. If it hasn't, post a new thread as a guest. We'll get you a reply as quickly as we can, so you can make an informed decision regarding purchase. Keep in mind that the pre-sale forum is available for questions related to any premium product we've got: Events Calendar PRO, Eventbrite Tickets, WooCommerce Tickets, EDD Tickets, Shopp Tickets, WPEC Tickets, Community Events, Facebook Events and Filter Bar.

Vote up existing feature requests or add your own, and help us shape the future of the products business in a way that best meets the community's needs. = I've still got questions. Do you have a bigger FAQ somewhere? = We do. If you check out our Frequently Asked Questions page on the tri.be site, we've collected and addressed all of the common questions we see posed by users. In some cases we'll provide a Gist; in other cases we'll direct you to a tutorial; and in some situations we'll unfortunately say a certain capability is simply not possible. But the FAQ is a living, breathing document that we're actively updating based on commonly-seen requests. == Documentation == All of our online documentation can be found on our documentation site.

Look no further. As a general practice, version numbers for The Events Calendar, Events Calendar PRO and our other add-ons follows the Semantic Versioning guidelines whenever practical. This means releases will maintain a three-part version number: major version; minor version; and patch. Let's say we're looking at The Events Calendar 3.1, as an example: Major version = 3 Minor version = 1 Patch = 0 If we deployed a follow-up maintenance build that addressed a couple small bugs, and called it 3.1.1, we'd now have: Major version = 3 Minor version = 1 Patch = 1 At no point during the 3.0 lifecycle will the major version change. But you can expect that either minor version and/or patch will change with each release. == Changelog == = IMPORTANT NOTICE = 3.x is a complete overhaul of the plugin, and as a result we're starting the changelog fresh. For release notes from the 2.x lifecycle, see our 2.x release notes. = 3.5.1 = * Fixed a bug where default events view dropdown on Settings page did not reflect the actual current default events view * Addressed poor display issues related to how week view rendered events on sites where the end of the day cutoff was set to midnight (thanks to Andy Fragen on the forums for catching this!) * Patched a problem where events in both a parent and child category would display multiple times in list view (thanks to Quentin for catching this one!) * Fixed an issue where tribe-events-full.css caused blog post titles to disappear for some users (thanks to Cynthia on the forums for the original report here!) = 3.5 = * Added fully responsive styles and functionality for all Events views! For an overview of the changes, see this blog post * Added javascript templating for use in tooltips and mobile views were needed * Updated Countdown widget styling to match TwentyEleven/TwentyTwelve/TwentyThirteen/TwentyFourteen theme styling * Fixed a responsive layout issue with the Classic Tribe Bar * Fixed a responsive layout issue with days not lining up properly in the Month view in TwentyFourteen * Fixed an issue where the address wasn't displaying properly in the single venue view * Fixed an issue where events can overlap the Date Picker in week view * Fixed a styling issue with the 'Cancel' button when creating tickets for an event * Fixed an issue where the 'View Calendar' link wasn't displaying correctly on the Event List page in the admin (thanks to Patti on the forums for reporting this!) * Fixed an issue where the
