Calendar events not showing in blog loop

[plafferty]

when I first activated The Calendar I could include events in the loop…I soon after opted not to include, but now I need to again.

I’ve clicked on the “Include events in main blog loop” toggle, but the events are not appearing.

I have recently installed a new theme: Nexus from Elegant Themes. The events appear just fine in calendar mode, but again not in the blog loop. Would it be because the event is not until next month?

thanks in advance

Hi plafferty,

I’m sorry you’re hitting difficulties here.

Would it be because the event is not until next month?

That shouldn’t be a problem. In fact, because the default behaviour is to use the event start date as if it were the publication date in this scenario, it means any upcoming events really ought to “float to the top” of your blog loop content.

I have recently installed a new theme: Nexus from Elegant Themes.

I’d definitely recommend doing a quick test with a default theme such as Twenty Thirteen. If you find that works then of course it’s quite likely there is some sort of conflict with your new theme – what we have found, periodically, is that for whatever reason some themes “reinvent the wheel” and create their own query to form the main blog loop.

In cases such as this, the theme’s re-implemented blog loop is not the true WordPress blog loop – and The Events Calendar is unable to integrate with it – so that’s a possibility here.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
