Calendar not showing up – Genesis Gigawatt Child Theme Page Template

[Lindsay]

When I use the “default page template” the calendar does not display.
If I switch the template the calendar will work, but I loose the sidebar.

Is there anyway to get the calendar to show up on a page?
Do I have to create a custom template?

Hi,

Thanks for using our plugins.

I am not sure what your settings are, but this snippet might work with the default page template.

Add this to your child theme’s functions.php

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks

HI Brian. Thanks for the quick reply.
Still not able to see the calendar: http://iheartpgh.com/pittsburgh-events-calendar/

Any suggestions of other things to try?

[Lindsay]

This is incredibly frustrating.
I’ve tried adding the code. You suggested.
I’ve tried creating several new genesis templates and I haven’t been able to get any of them to work. (I used some tutorials that I found here in the forums.

Any suggestion on what to try next?

[Brian]

Sorry for the frustrations.

What are these settings in your site:

Genesis > Theme Settings > Default Layout

Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives > “Select one of the following:”

Events > Settings > Display Tab > “Events template”

And on the Calendar View you are trying to get the sidebar to show next to the month correct?

Let me know.

Thanks

Many thanks. Here is what I’ve got:

Genesis > Theme Settings > Default Layout = content, right side bar

Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives > “Select one of the following:” = “display post content”

Select one of the following:

Limit content to “500” characters
Include the Featured Image? = yes

Events > Settings > Display Tab > “Events template” = default events template

With the default events template, I see the calendar, but no sidebar.

[Brian]

Ok try to set Limit content to “500” characters to 0, which will display all characters.

Then set the Event Template to the Default Page Template and see if the calendar shows and the sidebar shows.

Thanks! Still not seeing the sidebar. http://iheartpgh.com/pittsburgh-events-calendar/#.VaAxD_mrTIW
Any other suggestions?

Ok I tested the Genesis Gigawatt Child Theme on my site.

I have the Default Page Template Set

I have the Layout set to Content-Sidebar

My Content Archive settings in Genesis are set to show Content with 0 as the character limit.

I tested with and without a featured image checked for the archive settings

In all cases with these settings the Calendar shows with the sidebar to the right.

If you are seeing something different then unfortunately it is either a plugin conflict or custom coding causing the issue.

I am limited on troubleshooting this much further unfortunately, but you could try and see if the sidebar shows if you use just Genesis and those settings.

Or follow our other testing for conflicts guide and see if that finds what is causing this:
