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.

I have a custom build page where users can filter products based on price, category, brand, ...
These are made out of checkboxes and a range input for the price.
I'm trying to figure out what the best way would be to track every action/filter in order to find out which brand / categories are the most popular.
Important to know
The menu contains a submenu for the categories. When the user clicks one of these links the filterpage will have this category checked in the filters.
The page does not reload when applying a filter. I'm using JS to perform a search and show new results. The page url gets updated with the correct search query parameters.
I think I have 2 options:
Track click events on the checkboxes and send every change with datalayer.push.
Track the page URL after each filter.
Option 1 is an issue because people might go to the page with some parameters in the URL. This won't be tracked because there was no click event. This issue will also apply to users that click the category in the submenu that prefills the filter.
Option 2 also is an issue because with this solution the category might be tracked 5 times if the user keeps adding or removing other filters. It always tracks all filters instead of the one that has been added.
The first step of tracking is using the analog of Occam's Razor. You want to cut off stuff that has no chance of answering legit business questions.
Your business question here is: What filters are the most helpful for the users? Now it's important to know why the business wants to know it. Cuz remember, the business is not very competent at data analysis even if it doesn't realize it.
So you need to know exactly how answering that question improves OKRs/KPIs. In this case, the legit answer could be: cuz we want to sort the filters by the usage frequency and measure if that would ease the engagement and thus, improve the conversion rate for the part of the journey from the product list to the pdp
That's a pretty weak reason, but passable. Especially if there's an issue in that transition currently.
Good, now having that context, why would we want to track filters used in pre-populated urls? Say some overzealous employee made a mistake and pre-populated some weird unneeded filter using, say, date and time of when the product has been added. And now they use that URL in all ads, so you get a lot of third party traffic coming to product lists with a date as a filter.
And then, let's say, that employee keeps using that filter for other persistent links to the effect of the date/time filter becoming uncanningly popular. There. Your data slowly becomes garbage and stops answering the original question.
There are other issues with tracking pre-set filters, some of which you've outlined, but the real issue is the ability of the data to answer good business questions clearly. Tracking all filters may be able to answer some technical questions, but it's not the aim of behavioral analytics to answer technical questions. Let them use access logs and whatever else they use to answer those.
I am a non-programmer working for a church. We have no tech staff. Our website is based upon a template that doesn't provide a widget for counting clicks. We'd like to add one (or preferably two) jpg image(s) with a counter(s) to track the number of times clicked, and display the cumulative total next to the jpg(s). Church members will go to the page and click each time they participate in one or both of two different church objectives.
Our web host says to do this I must find, write, or purchase 3rd party code written in iframe, to embed into one of our pages.
I googled the issue and am only finding hit counters which track visitors to a page, rather than clicks of an image. We'd prefer two different jpgs to track two different objectives, but if necessary I can change from two jpgs to one, if having two counters on the same page is a problem.
Can anyone point me to where I could get code like this either for free, or for pay, and what it would cost?
There is a lot of good information here. They talk about an issue with iframe receiving the click vs. you recording it. If you keep reading there is a possibility to work it. Hope this helps!

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.
I'll use StackOverflow as an example.
A user can reach a question/answer page from
outside of stackoverflow
from another page of stackoverflow
from a search result
from a link in other posts (link in another question or answer)
from Similar Questions section
from a user profile page
I'd like to know how those internal links are used.
Main question is What are the percentages of each type of links which led users to the Q/A page in stackoverflow
I want to know the answer for the Q/A pages as a whole not for each individual Q/A page.
Is this implementable using GA and if so, I'd like to hear a general guide so I can dig in.
Is there a term for this kind of analysis? (internal link analysis? Knowning a term helps me to google further..)
Edit
I found one way to do this using sitesearch.
http://cutroni.com/blog/2010/03/30/tracking-internal-campaigns-with-google-analytics/
It's from 2010, and not sure its still the best way to do it.
To be able to tell different links from the same page e.g. you will need to setup enhanced link attribution by requiring the plugin via this command
ga('require', 'linkid', 'linkid.js');
the plugin also requires decorating each link that reffers to the same destination (the question) a unique id. you can also chose to decorate a container element such as a div which holds link or its parent (up to 5 levels)
there are a number of ways to get at this data.
One way is a under reporting look at Behavior>Behavior Flow. The view crates a sunkey diagram. which you can narrow down using a custom segment + creating a content grouping. The advantage of the Behavior flow is that it is visual - but it is difficult to customize.
Another approach you could take is to locate the question in the Behavior > Site Content>All pages and the set the secondary dimension to "Previous Page Path". You can use the advanced filter to select a specific question, and to limit the previous pages to page paths matching the pattern for each type of page you discussed.
To view the attribution for different links you need to select the In-Page Analytics tab.
FYI, I've implemented it using Google tag manager.
I defined event navigateToQnA.
And fired the event with different event action for different type of clicks I care about.
Maybe bit laborious than the sitesearch method I linked in the question.
But cleaner in a sense that you don't pollute url parameters to collect the data.
I have section on our products pages towards the bottom that shows similar products. Is it possible to use event tracking to track when someone sees them? I am currently doing click tracking on them, but it would be nice to be able to track a percent of click through for different suggestion types and to know what percent of people scroll down enough to see them on smaller screen sizes.
You might be able to use something like this jQuery 'in view' plugin to fire an event when that element comes into view: http://remysharp.com/2009/01/26/element-in-view-event-plugin/
Then, when that happens, you could fire a GA event. Depending on your use-case (whether or not you want to fire more than one event if the user scrolls away again and then brings it back into view), you may want to only bind once.
This jQuery plugin:
https://github.com/robflaherty/jquery-scrolldepth
seems to be well maintained and documented. It will do more than the one Remy Sharp suggested on his blog post, which is kind of old-ish by now. It can track scrolling-depth and detect when elements come into view. Once you have both you can do what you want with events, so you can calculate CTR on visible elements/sections.
There is also a non-jQuery fork, which is not as updated but might serve just as well:
