Removing The Add-On Upsell In Events Calendar PRO

Published on: November 10, 2011 | Categories: News & Announcements, Tutorial

A few users who are using Events Calendar PRO on client websites have asked if there’s an easy way to turn off the upsell — which promotes additional functionality in the form of plugin add-ons — on their installs. The upsell appears both on the individual event admin panel and at the top of the settings page (examples of  both below).

If you’re using 2.x or above, there’s a bit of code you can now add to your wp-config file that will hide both the messages above. Add this:

define('TRIBE_HIDE_UPSELL', true);

Changing the ‘true’ to ‘false’ will bring the upsell back; it’s only hidden when ‘true’ is in place.

    I tried that but it didnt seem to make any difference. I placed the code at the very bottom of the wp-config file – was that right?

    Darren: yes, but you want to make sure it’s above the section near the bottom that says “Stop Editing.” As long as it’s before that you should be fine.

    That help?

    Yes, Awesome – worked for me.

    Awesome to hear, Karen! Thanks for confirming.

    Thanks for the tip! I noticed that it did not remove the new “App shop” links. It would be cool if you guys had an affiliate program that worked in conjunction with the up-sell links when installed on client sites.

    Hi Jennifer! Excellent catch; we hadn’t considered that but I’ve just logged an issue for the team so we can include the tweak in 2.0.8 (which will be out at the beginning of next month). At that point if you have the upsell turned off it will indeed also remove the App Shop references.

    We’re actually putting the finishing touches on our affiliate program now. It will work similar to how you’ve noted here. While that’s not quite ready for prime time, we will announce it and the specs once it’s ready to go :)

    Thanks for your support and feedback so far. Let me know what else I can do.
