Hello Joseph,

Unfortunately version 1.3 has been totally decommissioned. We switched straight to 2.0 when we re-launched at tri.be after being at Code Canyon. Since the changes between 1.x and 2.0 were so substantial, this was a paid upgrade for all users. A 2.0 account is at this time required to hit the PRO forums, which is why, I see, you have posted here and not in the support forum.

To provide you any real support, I will need you to upgrade to the latest version of our plugin, which is much more stable, and far more advanced than the one you have. If you write to me at pro /at/ tri.be and link to this thread, I can get you a discount on a new license, since you were a previous customer.

With all that said, your question regarding the ordering of events without the use of dates sounds almost impossible to me – at least not without some custom coding.

The principle of The Events Calendar is that it uses WordPress posts to create events. WordPress posts themselves are ordered by date. Since it is a calendar plugin, which is what we market and promise to our users, it is natural that it follows a date-order.

For Event Calendar categories, our new version does have this ability, though the URL structure at present is not hierarchical, though this should be fixed very soon.

I hope this helps!

Hello Joseph, you can email us at pro /at/ tri.be and reference this thread. You can also address it to me in particular.
