If you select a top level category and sub level category of the top level category when entering an event: the event will show up 4 times when viewing the events for the top level category. This is a show stopper for us! Can you please provide a work around because we are launching our new calendar in 7 days!
Hi – I’m sorry you’re having difficulties here but I’m not sure I can replicate this. To be clear though here’s what I tried:
- I visited the submission form for Community Events
- Entered some cursory details and checked a category and a sub-category of that category
- Submitted
- Viewed the category in list view: the event showed up once only
Should those steps have been sufficient to replicate the problem? Can you point me to a live example? Unfortunately I seem unable to access your site using the URL you provided.
Hi Barry, thanks for response. To replicate the bug is pretty easy:
1) Create a category and sub-category of it.
2) Enter an event through the admin. Select both the category and sub-category. Publish event.
3) Go to the event and click it’s parent category and the event will be displayed 4 times.For your information I tracked this behavior back to changes made in 3.5 involving allowing parent categories to show children events. I believe it was in the event query class php file. Setting the filter to false reduced this down to 1 dupe. You had also commented out the wordpress “posts_distinct” line 161. Uncommenting that seemed to fix the issue but I’m not sure if that will cause other problems for us?
