Another 1970s Bug

[Erick]

Hey Guys,

I’m using the Advocate theme by Two2Twelve (updated to latest version), the latest version of wordpress and Event Calendar Pro, and I receive a 1970s bug that I’ve been working on for the past hour.

This is a theme error as moving to the TwentyEleven theme fixes the issue. I’ve tried to delete all instances of the Events from the Advocate theme, but I’m still getting the error.

Hey jaxxnux. Thanks for this, and I’m sorry you’ve faced this problem. Was this only happening with a given recurrence pattern, or have you already sorted it? I just visited the site and checked out a few recurrences and they were looking good.

It sounds like you’ve isolated it to the theme and while we can’t guarantee integration with every theme out there, I want to see if there’s a way we could optimize our code – or just provide you a snippet – to better address this in your case. Have you raised it as an issue with the theme shop too? I’d definitely recommend as much in case they could do the same on their end.

If the issue is indeed persisting and you’d be down to provide steps to recreate with a copy of the theme for local testing purposes, I’d be able to give it a shot and rope in a dev as needed. Let me know and thanks for your patience so far.

I also am showing the same displayed title on all of my pages (not posts):

Online Classes + Live Workout Sessions

…shows up properly, but the window’s title is Events for Thursday, January 1st 1970, and that’s how it appears in history as well.

Please fix this – I’m using Canvas, and since you guys are so tied to Woo, I’d love to think this was something you could address quickly. Users are noticing.

Hi:

I am also experiencing the 1970s bug. I am running on My Theme Shop, Glamour theme. This theme is essential to my content, so I can’t change it. You can get a look at the bug here:

And here is the theme: http://mythemeshop.com/themes/glamour/

Please advise on how I can fix this.

Thanks again!

Hey everyone. Thanks for the follow-ups here, and for reporting this. It does appear to be that certain themes are experiencing this as I’ve noticed a few related (but not quite identical) issues here at the forum.

The main culprit I’ve seen so far has been this is when a theme has a class “datepicker” that is the same name as the plugin was using. Changing it for the theme should resolve the issue here if that is indeed the source of the problem. Can you guys give it a check and let me know whether or not this fixes it?

Anyone able to give my last suggestion a shot, see if it helps gets things sorted for you?

From my developer:

For some reason that I didn’t waste time figuring out, the plugin was changing the title of almost every page, not just the events pages. So I simply commented out the line where that plugin was changing the title.

In this file, the-events-calendar/lib/the-events-calendar.class.php, I commented out this line:

add_filter( ‘wp_title’, array($this, ‘maybeAddEventTitle’ ), 10, 2 );

Bingo! Problem solved. The only downside is that events pages don’t have as spiffy a title as they might otherwise, but I think they’re still okay.

OK, sounding like you’re all sorted here – but if you do need any further help definitely feel free to create new threads as needed.

@jaxnuxx: we didn’t hear back from you and I’m not sure if your problem is quite the same … do you need further help on this one?
