Day view displaying random posts rather than calendar posts

[Heather]

The posts that are displayed on the day view are random posts, rather than calendar posts. Check it out at http://serendipity.eidigitaldev.com/events-calendar/2013-09-27/.

Hi Heather – I’m not sure what the cause of this would be, but before we go any further can you check if you have enabled inclusion of events in the main blog loop? If so, does disabling that resolve this?

[Heather]

Hi Barry —
I do not have inclusion of events in the main blog loop enabled. It’s weird, right? I did re-save permalinks to see if that could possibly be the problem, but that did not help.
Thank you for your help!

[Barry]

OK, if possible let’s try our basic troubleshooting steps:

* Please ensure all of your Modern Tribe plugins are up-to-date
* Deactivate all other plugins
* Switch to a default, unmodified theme such as Twenty Twelve
* Now test to see if the same thing occurs
* If it does not, reactivate everything else one-at-a-time until the problem recurs (though it may not) and take note of whatever you reactivated just before the problem came back

This should help to isolate whatever might be causing the conflict and we can then take things from there.

Thanks!

Hi Barry – I have done all the steps that you asked:
– Events Calendar version = 3.0.3
– Events Calendar Pro version = 3.0.5
– Deactivated all plug-ins except the two Events Calendar plug-ins
– Switched to theme TwentyTwelve
Now, when I test, I get the following page that says it cannot find posts:
http://serendipity.eidigitaldev.com/events-calendar/2013-09-28/

Thanks for your help!

Hi Heather: what slug are you using for the main events page? I do see a page at /events/ but this seems to be an empty placeholder (if your main events page is also set to use that slug that is probably going to cause a problem).

[Heather]

Hi Barry —

The slug is:
Events URL slug
The slug used for building the events URL.Your current events URL is: http://serendipity.eidigitaldev.com/events-calendar/
Single event URL slug
The above should ideally be plural, and this singular.
Your single event URL is: http://serendipity.eidigitaldev.com/event-calendar/single-post-name/

[Barry]

Thanks!

And can you confirm if you have enabled day view?

[Heather]

That is the problem! The only view I have enabled is month view. So if I enable Day view, then it goes to the day view correctly. So, isn’t this a bug, then? Because if day view is disabled, then shouldn’t the click-through to day view also be disabled so we don’t get this random display of posts?

Thanks!

[Barry]

It is, and we have this on our issue tracker so it ought to be resolved in one of the next few maintenance releases.

In the meantime the easiest solution is to keep it enabled – if that’s not possible or not desirable and you are comfortable tweaking templates you could alternatively stop day view links from being generated altogether.

[Heather]

Hi Barry —
I am actually still having the problem, but it is now related to the theme. I am using Woo Themes: Canvas, and even with Day View enabled, it still takes me to a page with all the random posts. It does NOT do this when I have the theme TwentyTwelve enabled. Can you give me the code changes that I need to make to take out the link to the Day View from the Month View so I can eliminate the problem?
Thanks!

[Barry]

Hi Heather – please do familiarize yourself with the Themer’s Guide first of all – basically though you would override month/single-day.php and find this line:

<a href="<?php echo tribe_get_day_link($day['date']) ?>"><?php echo $day['daynum'] ?></a>

Then change it to:

<?php echo $day['daynum'] ?>

[Heather]

Thanks, Barry! Got it working without the link. I really appreciate your help!

[Barry]

Superb!
