Calendar Widget no longer scrolls through months

Hey Casey,

I’ve gotten the mail plugin updated to the latest versions, but the issue still persists.

Cheers,

Dan,
Have you performed any template overrides on the Calendar widget? That’s the only other thing I could think might be causing issues with your theme, since some of the widget template files might have changed since the previous version. Since everything seems to be working correctly with the default theme, unfortunately I won’t be able to offer much more help than that.

If you’ve performed any overrides, then I would suggest that you update your template files from the latest version to see if that fixes the issue. Good luck, and let me know if you have further questions.

Thanks! 🙂

I just wanted to follow up and see if you’re all set here or if you still have further questions. Just let me know if you need further help or if I should go ahead and close out this thread. Thanks! 🙂

Hey Casey,

I haven’t managed to track down the problem. I’ve removed all the JS and CSS calls from the theme and disabled all plugins again yet the issue still persists.

There must be a conflict from the theme I just have not had much luck tracking it down. Something from the update doesn’t like something in the theme but going around blind will take some time, and all the obvious attempts at finding the problem haven’t been successful.

Cheers,
Dan

Dan,
Were you able to update to version 3.5, which was just released last week? I’m curious to see if this resolves your issue. Give that a shot and then let me know if you’re still having issues here. Thanks! 🙂

Hey Casey,

Yeah, I updated it as soon as I saw it hoping it would help out – but unfortunately the problem persisted.

On a different note, I noticed that the jquery works perfectly fine on the main calendar page – switching between months, etc – so it’s just the widget that doesn’t want to work.

Cheers,

Dan,
After further investigation, I discovered that this issue is due to your theme not respecting the before_widget params in the register_sidebar() declaration. This causes issues with CSS classes not getting added to the widget container, and breaking the AJAX functionality.

We’re looking at the possibility of removing this dependence on the before_widget params in a future version, but in the mean time, you’ll need to reach out to the developer of your theme to get their assistance in adding the appropriate before_widget params to add CSS classes to the widget container.

Hopefully that helps to answer your question, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated if we change this functionality in a future version. Thanks! 🙂

Hey Casey,

This is the current functions.php file, it looks like he did add in the before_widget classes:

/*———————————————————————————–*/
/* Sidebars
/*———————————————————————————–*/

//Register Sidebars
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Top’,
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-top’,
‘description’ => ‘Widgets in this area will be shown in the sidebar.’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”sidebar-box clearfix”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
));
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Middle’,
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-middle’,
‘description’ => ‘Widgets in this area will be shown in the sidebar.’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”sidebar-box clearfix”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
));
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Sidebar Bottom’,
‘id’ => ‘sidebar-bottom’,
‘description’ => ‘Widgets in this area will be shown in the sidebar.’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”sidebar-box clearfix”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h3>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h3>’,
));

if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Home Top’,
‘id’ => ‘home-top’,
‘description’ => ‘Widgets in this area will be shown in the home top.’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”sidebar-box”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
));
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Home Bottom Left’,
‘id’ => ‘home-bottom-left’,
‘description’ => ‘Widgets in this area will be shown in the home bottom.’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”sidebar-box”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
));
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar(array(
‘name’ => ‘Home Bottom Right’,
‘id’ => ‘home-bottom-right’,
‘description’ => ‘Widgets in this area will be shown in the home bottom.’,
‘before_widget’ => ‘<div class=”sidebar-box”>’,
‘after_widget’ => ‘</div>’,
‘before_title’ => ‘<h2>’,
‘after_title’ => ‘</h2>’,
));

Can you give me an idea of what the error is?

Cheers,
Dan

Dan,
You’ll need to make sure that he’s adding the appropriate dynamic classes that are coming from WordPress (screenshot), which I’m not seeing in the code you shared. Have him add those declarations, and see if that fixes the issue. Thanks! 🙂

Hey Casey,

We managed to sort it out, all working now. Thanks for the help.

Cheers,

Great! Thanks for confirming that this got you sorted. Since it looks like you’re all set, I’m going to mark this thread “Answered” and close it out.

By the way, if you have a minute or two, we would love it if you’d write a few words for us here: http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/the-events-calendar?filter=5

Thanks in advance. 🙂

Cheers,
