I'm making a wordpress site. It will include an event calendar. This is the first time I’m using wordpress, so i have no idea how to do this. This is the design that it needs to follow.
As you can see it requires a page for each month. The user has the ability to change between the months. I tried this with the events manager plugin, but without any success. Do i need to make it possible to add data through the permalink system? Or is there a plugin that has this feature built in?
If your base theme is twenty ten or twenty eleven it has a default Widget for this 'Post Archives'
It lists the Month / Year, shows total post count for the month (enabled by default),
otherwise you can use this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-archives/
or you can custom create it

if you use this plugin to add Events it has an option to archive events

I have many products nested within parent categories in WooCommerce.
I want to be able to apply a custom field where I can specify a time availability for categories as a admin feature only in Back end.
Theory:
Back end - On each parent category I will have this custom field where I can type or choose a time frame: for example 11:00-17:00.
Front end:
During this time frame, users will be able to browse all the products within that category.
Outside of this time frame all the products within that category will stay visible (but inactive) and they will be displayed greyed out or with a 'closed' banner (something like that).
Where can I start with this?
THE BEGINNING
You can start adding 2 plugins to add a custom time picker on product categories admin pages:
Advanced custom fields (ACF) plugin
Date & Time Picker for Advanced Custom Fields or also Date and Time Picker Field
This is just he beginning (and I can't confirm that is the best way). So In ACF you create a group and you name it:
Then you set the location (It's going to be a "taxonomy term" for "Product categories"):
Then In options you can chose it like a Metabox on the side (on backend):
After you add a new field and name it. You chose the field type and time only option:
[
Then now you are going to compile all the other options to fit your needs. Then you can save and add, if you need a 2nd field…
Now if you go to the WooCommerce Products Menu, under categories submenu, you will get this:
Now you can read a little the ACF documentation and also the wooThemes/woocommerce dev. documentation too.
You can customize WooCommerce overriding the templates and use hook filter and actions.
You will find in here on Stack OverFlow and over internet a lot of code, examples and tutorials, to begin and try to achieve your project. When needed you will post questions to get helped, with the code you are using telling what is working and what not…
I'm using "Advanced Custom Fields" along with "Custom Post Type UI" to create events on my Wordpress site. Everything works fine and the templates are in place however I can't get the posts to display properly in the Wordpress calendar widget.
At the moment the posts are filtered by publishing date. However, for my purposes, I need them shown by the date of the event itself – not the day I created the post. I've already got a custom field called "event_date" that's stored in yymmdd format. With that said, is there a way to overwrite the default behavior of the calendar widget to sort by this field?
If not is there a plugin that might help me accomplish this?
You could try this add-on for the Advanced Custom Fields WordPress plugin:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-field-date-time-picker/
I created a website build around a custom post type events. These events have custom fields, one of them is the event-date (the date the event is happening, NOT post publish date). I'd like a calendar widget that simply highlights the days an event is happening (maybe with a link to it). This means i need to plug my custom fields into a calendar widget plugin.
I found this post from 2 years ago, http://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-posts-in-a-calendar-using-custom-field-as-date?replies=8 - it seems they wanted exactly what i'm asking for. Unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to do it with the plugin mentioned by them (FT calendar).
Most calendar widget plugins simply use the pust-publish date. I need them to take their date-data from a custom field.
Do you guys have an idea which calendar-widget-plugin/way would be best for me?
After I've made a search and test of some of the event calendar plugins, calendar that would be closest to your need is All-in-One Event Calendar. After installing it is necessary to upgrade to the Standard version. The plugin has far too many options than it is needed, but is highly configurable so it can be configured to work roughly what you need.
Here is also the link with the analysis of different Wordpress event calendar plugins.
I'm working on a latest version of wp.
I need this kind of functionality but not sure how to do it.
I want to post an blog article which will be available on its main category listing page for set period (from published from & to date - to date is the last date until when it will accessible on category page using pagination. But after to date this will not be list in category using pagination. But still stays on given url and accessible by direct url for SEO reason.
Basically I want to make a pagination to be valid for only a post published under certain period.
Both cases are fine, do you know any plugin which can be used or need to customize?
I don't know about a plugin, but you can simply customize your wp_query: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Time_Parameters, and make sure you use the "paged" parameter described here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Pagination_Parameters
I am to be soon developing a number of websites with dynamic ad models using Google's DFP service. Ideally I want to develop these websites using WordPress, I was wondering if there was any tips or brilliant plugins to allow me to show generic ad units and specific ad units on different categories, pages and posts in certain categories?
I need a default generic set of advertisments to appear in a few predefined ad slots for example: 2x MPU, 2x Leaderboard etc..
These need to change depending on what category or page you are on. The same ads need to show on posts that come from it's parent category, the same applies for sub-categories and pages with sub-pages.
There seems to be no solution out there! Just simple plugins to stick adsense codes into posts randomly it seems..
There is no Wordpress plugin that allows different custom HTML to appear depending on what category the user is on.
Please refer to http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_category or ask me to make a Wordpress plugin for you.
Best way is 'create custom module/plugins'
This solution is only useful if you are not using category description any where.
you can add you advertisement code in category description, if current category has not ADV code then check in parent category ADV code, continue until root category.
For pages you can use custom field.
Here is a WordPress plugin that may be useful for you: http://wordpress.org/plugins/ad-code-manager/
