Can't seem to make the Calendar and Events views work right.

[Laura]

I am not even sure where to begin on this. I can’t get the views to work right using the default template, or a custom template. It looks ok at first, but then when you try to go to another month, it screws up and places some of the navigation in the title bar. I would like a sidebar on both view. Also, on the front page, the month doesn’t show up on the mini-calendar until you click on the arrow to go to another month. I have several screen shots and code examples, if this will help.

Hi Laura,

It looks like your theme may be the culprit of an issue we’ve identified where if there are no events, the calendar navigation get’s messed up. Try this fix: https://theeventscalendar.com/faq/my-calendar-navigation-buttons-become-misplaced-on-months-with-no-events-what-gives/

The front page mini-calendar issue is actually related to the first issue as well. There are some theme’s that are incorrectly using the wpautop function and causing issues with our plugin. The only thing to do about this is to first change the Event Template in Events > Settings > Template to the “Default Events Template”. It’s going to change some things in your layout but it should resolve at least the mini-calendar issue. We’ll need to do a bit more work though to get your layout back. Please change that setting first and let me know how that goes.

Thanks,
Jonah

Thanks Jonah. That fix worked on the navigation in the calendar view, but did nothing for the mini calendar and I now don’t have a background for the calendar and event views.

Hi Laura,

Ok, to get your background back try this.

1. Go into Events > Settings > Template and add this in the Before HTML box:

2. And add this in the After HTML box:

For the mini calendar, I’m wondering if this is a conflict with another plugin? Have you tried deactivating all other plugins?

Hey Laura, sorry my code got messed up. For step 1, use this code: http://snippi.com/s/vow5tuz – for step 2, use this: http://snippi.com/s/vvb4r1k

[Laura]

That definitely brought it back. Thanks for your help. But, now the at the bottom of the single event it seems to have the items from my top menu bar.

And, the month name still doesn’t show up on the mini-calendar. This is driving me crazy. 🙂

Sorry Laura, I pasted the wrong snippet for the After HTML, use this instead: http://snippi.com/s/y5a9czn

[Laura]

Great. Thanks. But, that didn’t alleviate the problem. 🙂

Ah, it looks like your theme’s sidebar is still displaying on single events, that’s what those links are from. Do you want it there for single events? It’s a little more involved to maintain the fixes we’ve applied and only have the sidebar on the single events pages. But, I can provide you with instructions for what to do.

[Laura]

Nope. I’d like it not to display. Sounds like it will be easier.

[Jonah]

Yep, it’s much easier. All you have to do is add this to your theme’s style.css file:

.single-tribe_events #sidebar {
display: none;
}

Let me know whether or not that works.

[Laura]

That worked. Thanks again. Any ideas on the mini-calendar month display. That is the last thing I am having trouble with.

[Jonah]

Did you try deactivating all other plugins?

[Laura]

Yes, but I am using it inside of WP Bakery’s Visual Composer. The issue is probably there. It works fine in just a sidebar.

[Laura]

I can’t find it. Is there any way to force the month display in the mini-calendar to reload?
