Empty URL on event category pages

[highasp]

When clicking on an event category that has no scheduled events in the current month there is no title nor permalink info at the top of the page. So for example –

http://shoholatwp.org/events/category/board-meetings/ – is fine
http://shoholatwp.org/events/category/office-closures/ – is missing the category permalink and page title.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Hi Elizabeth,

Sorry to hear about this. Have you tried switching the Events Template in Settings > The Events Calendar > Template? Try that and let me know if that does anything.

Thanks,
Jonah

Hi Jonah! Thank you for your response. Changing the template worked! Awesome!

I also managed to find the code from the events template that I should be using and figured it would be easier to update my page template with that one line than adding my changes to the events template. I’m trying to add it as an if/else statement, except that I’m doing something wrong. Would you be able to take a look and let me know what I’m doing wrong?

page_parent ) { // the page is “Events”, or the parent of the page is “Events” ?>

<a href="” rel=”bookmark” title=” “>

[highasp]

Let me try again…

page_parent ) { // the page is "Events", or the parent of the page is "Events" ?>

<a href="" rel="bookmark" title=" ">

Sorry for the multiple posts! Figured out pastebin (I hope!) – http://pastebin.com/gmLPt5Ep

Hi Elizabeth,

I don’t think there should be an actual page for events because the plugin automatically creates one and is_page() won’t work to detect that page. Instead you can use portions of this code as your conditionals for the various event related pages: https://gist.github.com/2415009

Does that help?

Glad to hear it! Let me know if there’s anything else you need with this.

Cheers,
