Calendar 404 Page Breadcrumb

[tmproductions]

For some reason on my website the calendar breadcrumb shows up as 404 page. Everything seems to be working correctly its just that its displaying the incorrect breadcrumb. http://noblesvillephc.com/test/calendar/

Hi David, thanks for getting in touch! Sorry you’re running into an issue here, but hopefully we can tackle it together. 🙂

We’ve actually come across something like this before. It turned out that, unless the code written for the breadcrumb functionality is checking for custom taxonomies (like Events), then it will not know what to do with and would return nothing–or in your case, a 404.

There is a tutorial on how to overcome this. Admittedly, it’s a little dated. Additionally, it may not address the specific way that your theme handles breadcrumbs.

I hope the example in the tutorial points you in the right direction. If not, it may very well be worth checking in with the theme author to confirm whether breadcrumbs are checking for custom post types and taxonomies.

Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff

I added that code to my function.php file but it didn’t do anything. Is there a way I can send you my files to look at? Also I just discovered that there are other issues with the calendar in IE. When I’m in month view the button to go to the next or previous month does not work. It doesn’t even bring up the progress wheel to show that its loading. It just scroll to the top of the page and does nothing.

Hi there, David! Thanks for following up and sorry the snippet didn’t do the trick.

One possible alternative is to hide the breadcrumb display on Events pages using CSS. For example, you could try something like this (you might need to play around with it a bit):

.events-archive .breadcrumbs, .single-tribe_events .breadcrumbs {
display: none;
}

Another alternative is to locate which theme file contains the breadcrumb and wrap it in PHP conditionals to either hide it from Events page or display “Events” there instead. For example, something that kind of looks like this:

if( tribe_is_month() || tribe_is_upcoming() .... etc) {
// have some code to display 'Events' in the breadcrumbs
}

Hopefully these options point you in the right direction. Since this is something that has to do with the theme, I would suggest contacting the theme author if you need more guidance when it comes to modifying the theme files.

Thanks!
Geoff

Ok thats a little over my head and my developer is a pain to work with. I may just have to leave it.

What about the IE issue? Do you have a answer on that. That is more important than the breadcrumbs

[Geoff]

Hey there, David! Are you able to disable the option to “Use javascript to control date filtering” under Events > Settings? Uncheck that box, save the changes and let me know if you see any changes.

If the issue persists, could you try temporarily activating the default Twenty Thirteen theme, to see if the issue happens there as well?

If disabling the theme fixes it, that’s good news! It means we have narrowed the issue down to a theme conflict.

If the issue is still there when using the default Twenty Thirteen theme, then we can try testing for conflicts with other installed plugins. Using the Twenty Thirteen, please try deactivating all of your plugins, except for the ones from Modern Tribe. Does that solve the problem? If so, reactivate the plugins one at a time until the issue pops back up, then tell me which one was causing the issue.

These steps are also outlined here if you want some more details on how to test for conflicts.

Give those steps a shot and let me know what you find.

Cheers!

I changed the theme and it fixed it. So what needs to done to fix in my current theme? It works fine in Firefox & in Chrome

[Geoff]

Great! Thanks so much for testing the default theme. I really appreciate it. 🙂

That confirms that there is a conflict with the theme that is preventing the AJAX script from loading properly. You can try disabling the javascript option I mentioned previously (under Events > Settings). That will remove the script on our end but, if you want to clear it up in the theme, that’s something the theme author will need to help with. If the script works with a default WordPress theme, then there’s something that the theme is doing to create the conflict.

Sorry I’m unable to give you a concrete answer to support the theme issue, but try disabling the option I mentioned above. If that helps, great! If not, I’d suggest contacting the theme author to explore options at the theme level.

Cheers!

I turned off that option and it did not work. My problem is i never know how to explain this issue to my theme author. Could you look at my theme?

[Geoff]

Hey David, thanks for giving that option a shot.

I’m really sorry, but looking into theme issues is something we’re unable to do because we lack the bandwidth to provide that level of custom support. If you’d prefer to work with a freelance developer instead of the theme author, we’d be happy to share a list of recommendations with you. Shoot an email to us at pro [at] tri.be and reference this thread and we’ll send that along.

I’m going to go ahead and close this thread since we’ve covered the original question, but please feel free to hit us up with a new thread if any other questions pop up. We’d be happy to help. 🙂

Cheers!
Geoff
