After Update Homepage not working properly

[rm2project]

Homepage is showing events on http://worth-avenue.com after update. We can’t have that so we had to shut off plugin for the moment. I see I’m not the only one complaining about this. Do you have an ETA on a fix or something to correct this problem. even happening on 2012 theme.

I found a solution to this by accident. Uncheck the option to have your events show up as blog posts in your normal blog and it should work 🙂

Good catch, annette! Thanks so much for sharing your solution! If you don’t mind, it could be really helpful to us if you could paste in a message here the System Information shown under The Events Calendar Settings: Help tab so that we can have an idea of what else might be going on.

rm2project, have you tried un-checking “Include events in main blog loop”? If so, did that help?

Please know that we are currently working on a fix for this and will let you know as soon as one is available.

perfect! that solved the problem thank you ladies!

[Kelly]

Fantastic! I’ll let you know when I hear back about an interim fix.

Thanks for your patience!

I have the same bug. When “include events in main blog loop” is checked, the plugin overrides my home page completely. I have a custom home page, but it gets replaced with a “page of posts”. Obviously this is a showstopper. We need the ability to include events in the loop AND not mess with our home page settings. Please advise on a fix for this ASAP.

Hi, Kevin. I’m truly sorry that you’re in such a pickle. This bug was missed in our testing, and we’re working diligently to get it patched.

Obviously, this is only an interim workaround, not a true fix. Please rest assured that this is a top priority for us. We will be rolling out a resolution as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience in the interim.

Hello, again. Our devs have gotten back to us with a code snippet that should do the trick: http://pastebin.com/nx5j5091

It needs to go in your theme’s functions.php file. If you have any questions about how to do that, please follow the links on this page: https://tri.be/fix-for-static-front-page-being-overridden-when-including-events-in-main-blog-loop/

Please let us know how that works for you!

[Kevin]

Well, your snippet appears to have fixed the static homepage option, but now creates another problem. When I activate the snippet as you provided, the calendar page at /events/ no longer works.

[Kevin]

Also, unchecking the “include events in the main blog loop” returns the calendar at /events/ to proper functioning.

[Kelly]

Hi, Kevin. Thanks for reporting this.

I have been able to replicate it on our test site and kicked it back to our devs. I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back with an updated snippet.

I really appreciate your patience while we get this resolved for you!

[Kelly]

Hi, Kevin. We just now finished testing this new version from our dev team.

Please see the snippet page for the correct snippet to use in your functions.php: https://theeventscalendar.com/fix-for-static-front-page-being-overridden-when-including-events-in-main-blog-loop/

Do let us know if that gets you back in business. Thanks again for bearing with us while we worked through this! 🙂

I had the same issue on a site running Genesis. The update stripped my homepage completely. It appears it may have been a conflict with the plugin Genesis Featured Widget Amplified. The code snippet you provided did fix the problem. Thanks.

[Kelly]

Thanks so much for letting us know, Dorian. Sorry for the buggy release, but I’m glad that the snippet did the trick!

[Kelly]

Hi, Kevin. As it’s been over two weeks since your last reply, I’m going to close this thread. Please open a new one if you choose to pursue this further in the future.

Thanks for being part of the TEC community! 🙂
