Quite new and a beginner with most of this but I can usually problem solve and follow along well enough to fix most minor errors although I'm having some trouble with this one. I'm building a WordPress site and using The Events Manager by Modern Tribe for a calendar because it has most of the functions I need. However, without paying for an upgrade there's no way to sort by category or display on another page other than the default hat it puts it on. I was hoping to use WP Full Calendar to do both of these since it seems simple and really I just want the prior for fetching/creating the events not the calendar. Problem is WP Full Calendar isn't displaying any of the events although it is able to fetch the categories for them for use in sorting in the settings and seems to function properly aside form no events actually appear.
Wondering if anyone else has tried this and had similar hangups and it's something inherently about those two plugins that don't agree or if it's just me.
I've been doing this very thing and the only option I found was to actually modify the plugin itself. By default, fullcalendar expects dates from ACF or integration with Events Manager. The fundamental problem is that Modern Tribe Events has it's own API for getting date information (like tribe_get_start_date() for the start date) and fullcalendar does not support it out of the box.

We recently switched to Sitecore CMS, and I seem to be having a problem with Event tracking as a result.
Any file extension is being tracked successfully using GTM and Event tracking as long as the link is pure - ie fetched automatically using Sitecore assets.
However, if I link to a document in the media library using the text editor, it automatically adds ?la=en to the end of the URL. (It used to have loads more code added, but our developer removed this.) I haven never been able to see these links as Events in GA, and I think it is because of this variable that gets added.
Has anyone come across this issue, and have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ben
I want to track particular links on my site to see where they come from. For example, I want to know which links on my navigation are being clicked, so if something is not being clicked I could potentially remove it.
I have been using UTM's, super easy, but results in skewed analytics data.
I looked into Google Tag Manager, but I don't want to slow down my website. I can change the site easily, so not sure if this is the best solution.
I found an article dated 2008 that says I can do this:
https://www.example.com/?from=topnav
Is that still valid? Is there a better way. I can't seem to find any information on this and assume somebody wants to acquire this information.
Thank you.

UTM codes are meant to track inbound traffic. Don't use them to track internal/outbound navigation, as it will seriously mess up your reporting.

GTM is loading async, just like GA, so performance-wise they are equivalent.

By default GA will not track link clicks. You can indeed add parameters to URLs and then use those to build custom reports and see which links are being clicked.
Since what you're trying to do is custom implementation, you won't find a single best answer, it's up to you to implement something that fits your needs. These are some examples:

I'm seeking a very specific event plugin for wordpress (if it exists), if you can suggest one please let me know! Or if there's another easy workaround, I'd appreciate it!
Basically I want to list my events as 4 column square images at the top of a page under the UPCOMING EVENTS section - just like this screenshot:
Screenshot 1 - Upcoming Events
But after the event passes I'd like it to drop down to the PAST EVENTS section (automatically if possible) - if manually, I'd like the images to stack so if there's an odd number of past events the most recent would be at the top and the single event would be at the bottom. The only workaround I've found is for the single event to be at the top and I keep adding rows to the top of the PAST EVENTS section. See the next screenshot for clarification. Thanks so much for taking a look!
Screenshot 2- Past Events
Events Manger does this, you would obviously have to use styling in order to make it appear across the top but their easy widget implementation allows you to select how many events display. You then just need to style the widget.
You can also then enable in the settings archive events, once enabled you will be able to display past events.
If you purchase the pro version you can also take payment for tickets online if you so wish.

This website isn't mean't to be used for looking for recommendations due to certain reasons of favouritism and much more. However, I did need a similar plugin to what you require and this was the one I used. It should fit your needs.
Can you suggest a very very simple issue tracking widget. UserVoice, is a little too involved for us with their forums and what not. What we want is something that just allows people to send us an issue or note and grabs a URL.
If by widget you mean something that you can embed on your page that will allow visitors to leave feedback/issues, there are javascript plugins, like feedback_me that will allow posting feedback to a backend provided by you.
If your are not comfortable with supplying a backend of your own, there are of course countless products that will do basic stuff for you and more. This is list by no means complete, but it's a start:
Usersnap
Trackduck
Marker
Userback
Bugmuncher
Doorbell
Hava a look at userrules.com
It allows you to integrate to your internal Issue Tracking system (JIRA, BugZilla, Redmine, Basecamp etc.). Any feedback from your customers come, you can directly export it to ur external system. And it will keep track of its progress for you.
Liked, what they have done with their UI, plus you can add your own customizable fields to ask some specific info from your customers in the feedback widget.
Getsatisfaction? BitBucket? Github? Google Code? All have issue trackers and, except for that last one, allow you to keep your code private, but your issues public.
I'm in the process of developing a website for a not-for-profit organization, and I thought that Wordpress would be a great tool to use as the base CMS for the site. Building the site into Wordpress has not been a problem, but I have been having a difficult time finding a plugin to use to help them organize and advertise upcoming Events. Currently, they use Google Calendar, but are trying to move to something that integrates more cleanly into their site.
Essentially, I need a Wordpress events/calendar plugin with these features:
+ Add reoccurring events with start and end time
+ Each event should have its own page (reoccurring events should be shown as a single page)
+ Display all events in a mini-calendar and a full calendar/list view
It would also be nice to have these features:
* Ability to categorize/tag events
* Ability to add a picture to go with the event
I'm indifferent on these features:
- Being able to RSVP
- Paying for events
- Import/Export calendars
There are many Events/Calendar plugins out there for Wordpress, but I can't seem to decide which one is worth me spending time to use for this website. Any suggestions?
You can create a Category called "Events" and design a layout for that cat. in particular.
then post new events to that category.
also, have you looked in to this plugins?

This may be a bit late for you, but others may find it helpful. This plug-in fits the bill for the features you were after:
