Event Calendar Page showing past event first

[motherstrust]

Along with other bugs listed on a separate support ticket, the Upcoming Events page is showing a past event (7.8.15) first and at the bottom, there is no longer a “previous events” button.

This occurred after doing a number of plug-in updates including Events Calendar and WooCommerce Tickets. I have purchased events calendar pro however only the regular calendar is installed.

I did the plugin and theme tests. Deactivating all plug-ins did except Events Calendar did nothing. Deactivating all other plugins and changing to Twenty Fourteen theme did not fix the past event showing up first but the past events button did show back up.

Hi,

Sorry for the issues you are having. I can help troubleshoot this with you.

I took a look at your site and see the first event. However, it is showing correctly.

The way that event is setup it starts on July 8th and ends on August 26th. That setup is telling the plugin that the Event is everyday from the 8th to the 26th and will be the first event shown until after the 26th as it has the earliest start date.

If you are only intended it to be an event setup every Wednesday you will want to create a new event as a recurring event.

Set the start and end date and time for the first day of the series. Then setup the recurrence to weekly and set an end date for the last time the event will happen.

You can read more about recurring events here:

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

If I go ahead and install the events calendar pro (which i have purchased), will it transfer all the events I currently have in the system of the regular events calendar widget?

Also, I did not see an answer to troubleshooting the issue with the “previous events” button not showing up.

Hi Again,

If you add Pro to your site all the events and settings will remain. Pro is an Add On to The Event Calendar so it adds more features, but does not replace The Events Calendar. You will need both plugins for it to work.

As for the previous event links. Does you theme also include any custom templates for the list view? If you are not sure please list all the files in the /tribe-events/ directory of your theme.

Let me know and we can go from there.

Thanks

I don’t think I do…. here are the files listed in the /tribe-events/ directory:

default-template.php
single-event.php
list/nav.php
widget/list-widget.php
modules/bar.php

Hi,

Thanks for the information.

This is the file that controls the nav:

list/nav.php

So it appears some changes were made there.

You maybe to just delete the file in your theme and use the plugins version of the template or you will have to update it to match the current template found here:

the-events-calendar\src\views\list\nav.php

Let me know if removing or updating that template fixes the issue.

Thanks
