Community events showing in list but not calendar

[Ally Taylor]

Hi there,
I’ve set up Community Events on our site-in-progress, and it’s working well except for one strange quirk – whether or not I’m logged in, the Calendar only shows events set up by the admin. Any events set up by other members don’t show in the Calendar, but what’s strange is that they DO show in List and Day views – it’s only the Calendar view where community events aren’t appearing.
I’m not sure where to start troubleshooting this as it’s odd that it works for two of three of the views! If you can point me in the right direction I’d be grateful.

Hey Ally!

Sorry to hear about the strange issue! I see you checked ‘Yes’ to reverting back to the default WP theme and deactivating all plugins other than ours as outlined in our Testing for conflicts guide, but can you please confirm this?

More specifically, try creating a user with the correct role and permissions to post an event, create a new event, and see if the issue still occurs.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for your help! I made sure my user roles have the right permissions but it’s still not showing in the Calendar. If you check out the events page in List mode now you’ll see two new events at the bottom (one in October, one in December), neither of which are popping up in Calendar mode.

It doesn’t seem like it would be a permissions thing because the List and Day modes both work perfectly. Very odd!

I did try this with everything turned back to default, yes, but I’m happy to try again if it would help?

Thanks for your help,
Ally

Hey Ally,

Thank you for the response. Can you tell me what you have for your Events > Settings > Timezone mode setting? Have a good rest of you weekend. Take care!

Hi Hunter,

Thanks for your reply! I’m using the “Use the sitewide timezone everywhere” setting as the vast majority of the events will be in the same area. The site is using UTC + 10 for its timezone.

Hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend!

Hi Hunter,

You’re onto something! When I change the site to use local timezones for each event, this fixes the calendar. But as most of our members will be posting events in the same cities, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for them to use – picking a timezone seems odd when they don’t even have to pick a state and a lot of the members are older so we want to keep it simple. Is there a workaround for this? We could use the local timezones setting, but hide the timezone field on the “Add Event” form maybe? (It seems to pre-fill correctly so we could just hide it with CSS?)

Thanks for your help – definitely close to a solution, I think!

Hey Ally,

Welcome back! Please try the following CSS:

#event_datepickers .tribe-community-event-info > tbody > tr:nth-last-child(1) {
display: none;
}

If that doesn’t work, please review our Themer’s Guide. It explains the process of overwriting templates to your liking.

The file you’ll need to overwrite is: the-events-calendar-community-events/src/view/community/modules/datepicker.php

The lines you’ll need to remove/comment out are: 91-102

Don’t forget to save it with the following structure to avoid losing customizations: [your-theme]/tribe-events/community/modules/datepickers.php

Let me know how it goes. Cheers!

Thanks Hunter – the CSS worked perfectly. Thanks for your patience and help!
