Calendar now showing up

[Brad]

I am having a hard time getting the calendar to show up. I can add events and see the individual events if I view them directly, but not if I try to view the calendar from the menu. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi Kyle,

I am unfamiliar with your theme and it’s possible this might require a little assistance from the theme devs (it looks like the calendar is being converted into an excerpt accidentally) however before we do that I’ve got something we can try.

Can you visit Events → Settings → Display and try changing the default events template? With some themes the Default Events Template is a great fit – for others the Default Page Template does a better job and others still might require something else, so playing around with this initially is worth a shot.

Let me know if that helps!

That looks to have helped, however the logo and menu seem to be off compared to the rest of the site.

We are getting there, so if you have any ideas on this let me know and we will be golden. Thanks for the help.

Hi Kyle,

Could you try the steps outlined here (and set up a tribe-events/tribe-events.css stylesheet within your theme) then add these rules to it:

#tribe-events-pg-template {
    position: relative;
    top: 12rem;
}

header#pageheader {
    background: darkcyan
}

That should get you a little closer and you can adjust further from there 🙂

If you click on the blog page you see the header we are needing. Is there a way to place the calendar onto a templated page like that and then problem solved? Sorry I’m not quite up on all the code to do that and just know enough to break things.

Like, is there a shortcode I can use to place it where I want?

I’m afraid there isn’t a shortcode to make that happen.

The above CSS was just a minimal starting point to help steer you in the direction of making things presentable – I appreciate it doesn’t result in an appearance (in regards to the header area) that is identical to the blog page, etc – but, as can be the case given how many themes there are out there, sometimes more in depth customization work is needed to really get a glove-like fit between theme and plugin.

Now that you are using the Default Events Template though, do bear in mind that you can override and customize it (again, please refer to the Themer’s Guide for information on doing so).

This is useful because your theme’s header.php template is called from our default-template.php – therefore, if you override it, you can set some kind of condition or even call an alternative header.php that puts a nicely formed header in place for event views that matches your other pages.

However, we’d have to leave you to drive that forward and figure out the details: perhaps your theme vendor could provide you with a few more hints in this regard? Much as we’d love to be able to help further, ultimately the people who best understand the theme’s code are the same people who wrote it 🙂

Does that help any further?

[Brad]

I appreciate the help. What you gave should work, I was just curious on the shortcake to add it to a page; maybe something to be added as a feature in the future? I think it could be very useful and great addition.

I can do the rest and can modify was just doing due diligence in checking first for a more efficient solution before doing it the “fun” way…lol

Really appreciate all the help. You all have the best support by far of anything purchased for WordPress online.

Thanks Kyle,

I appreciate the kind words (and have shared with the team)!

I was just curious on the shortcake to add it to a page; maybe something to be added as a feature in the future? I think it could be very useful and great addition.

It definitely could be useful and it’s under active consideration – even so, please feel free to up-vote and/or comment further in this feature request thread 🙂

I think we’ve gone as far as we can on the issue at hand so I’ll go ahead and close this topic, but of course please do not hesitate to create new topics if you find you do have follow-up questions, or indeed if anything else should crop up.

Thanks again!
