Event Title doesn't appear on the Home page but does on other site pages

[Shawn]

I’m utilizing a widgetized sidebar on both pages. The pages should be identical (same template, etc.) other than the “Home” page designation. To compare, check http://vibetech.com vs. http://vibetech.com/courses-using-mescope/.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Shawn,

So just to be clear, do you mean that what you’re trying to achieve is to have an identical version of the top banner (screenshot of what I mean → https://cloudup.com/cSjPbI6pKB9) on top of both the home page and on top of the single-event pages?

If so, what is the name of the Page Template being used for the homepage?

Next, have you set this Page Template to be used as the “Events Template” in your Events > Display settings panel? Here’s another screenshot of that just for reference → https://cloudup.com/cmM4jt1LhZY

If you have done this, and things still aren’t coming out as intended, then I’d recommend sharing a .zip of your whole theme with us – you can post a link via Dropbox or something like http://ge.tt, and can even set your reply as a “Private Reply” if you want to keep your theme from being available to the public at large (only you and us here at the support team can see your “Private Replies”).

Let me know if the things I mentioned here are even the things you’re trying to achieve – sorry if I’m wrong and misunderstood your goals. If that’s the case, explain your exact goals in a little more detail and even use screenshots if possible.

Thanks Shawn!

Hey Shawn,

Thank you for clarifying your issues here!

These differences unfortunately seem to be stemming from CSS within your theme – I’d recommend contacting your theme developer for help with this.

For example, on the home page, I found the following bit of CSS coming from your theme which is hiding the Event Titles in the widget there, but not on the other page you linked to:

.home .entry-title {
    display: none;
}

So if you add custom CSS to override these styles that are coming from your theme, then one-by-one you should be able to ensure that the widgets are displaying consistently. For example, I tested the following CSS and it worked to ensure that the Event Titles displayed fine in the widget even on the home page:

.tribe-mini-calendar-event .event-title {
    display: block !important;
}

I’m sorry to disappoint here Shawn – the only reason I’m emphasizing the need for CSS overwrites here is that, upon closer investigation, it seems that your theme is correctly loading the same page template for both pages. Here’s evidence of that: on the home page, and on the other the page you linked to.

Let us know if you can get in touch with your theme developer here!

Cheers,
George
