I know there have been a couple of threads about this before (but when I searched for 1970 Bug, I couldn’t seem to find what I was looking for). First off, I know the problem before was that the Pro version was not the same as Free version. I can assure you that I am running 2.0.5 for both. Everything works great except for the widget links. They kick back the 1970-… url. Wasn’t sure if you knew why this was happening.
Hey Anthony. You’re the first to report it, but that certainly doesn’t mean there isn’t a legit issue here. Which widget is the issue here, and is this for recurring/standalone events? A link to a place where I can see the widget in action would be awesome and I can try to diagnose from there.
Woohoo, First! I am using the Advanced Events Widget and here is a link: http://www.stjohnofthecross.org/
Thank you,
AnthonyThanks Anthony. I am indeed seeing the issue and am, unfortunately but as I’d thought, totally unable to recreate on my end.
What is your permalinks structure? I’m just using /%postname%/. And, have you already checked whether this is a conflict with another plugin or the theme? If not, definitely go the deactivation route to try and test. From there if we’re still having issues I may need access to your system to check it out there…but let’s cross that bridge when we get to it.
1 January 1970 is the Unix epoch date. It is simply a way for certain systems to keep time by measuring how long has elapsed since this time. I am not familiar with the way the widget is set up but I would imagine the time is defaulting back to this date.
Not sure how this can help but perhaps when trying to diagnose the issue.
Ok, so I actually just noticed this is happening to another site of mine as well. It is a bit more standard of an install, so maybe this is the better place to diagnose: http://www.stthomaspeoria.org/ You will see the events scrolling in the yellow section. Same thing is happening.
As far as my permalink structure, it is using /%postname%/. Concerning plugins, I turned off Total Cache first, everything seemed to work just fine. I turned it back on and it was broken again. So, that seems to be the culprit. However, I need total cache on for obvious performance reasons. Any ideas?
Thank you,
AnthonyI don’t use the advanced widget so have no way to test but my stab at this would be to make a very slight amendment to one of the Pro files.
Try finding file plugins/events-calendar-pro/views/events-advanced-list-load-widget-display.php
Then change the following code around line 58
To this
As mentioned, I haven’t been able to test so make a back up of the file before making the change.
If this doesn’t work for you then you could always manually display a list of events without using the widget using this:
I have set showposts to 1000 but feel free to change this to whatever number of events you’d like to display.
Thank you for the code, it will hugely helpful, and I will be using that code in other places. However, I do still have a bit of an issue. The widget allows me to filter categories as well as exclude certain items through a check-box. Those items are essential for me in certain places. So, I really need either that functionality included in your code, or I need to get the widgets working.
Thank you,
Anthonyyou can have events from a certain category display only by making a minor modification to the code.
In my example below I have included the first 1000 events that are in the “football” category:
For anyone else that comes here looking to fix a ‘1970’ bug, I was using get_permalink() in a custom loop of events and limit recurring ones to one output—I corrected it by using tribe_get_event_link($post) to get the first date’s link.
Sorry, in my delayed response, for some reason it stopped sending me updates via email when a new post occured. I’m not exactly sure where Cliff is referring to. The problem is I’m not using a custom loop, I’m using the widget (I apologize for my lack of knowledge because I suppose they could be the same thing). Overall, Henry’s is closer to the solution, but for the widget, there is an option (checkbox) excluded this event from widget. So, I don’t think that will quite work unless that option is included.
Thank you,
Anthony
