/event/category/blahblah with "Default Page Template" does not display correctly

[Glenn]

Hi,

Trying to create a menu structure to display categories. I use Default Page Template on my site to show the widgets bar.

If I show a category with the url format /event/category/somethingthatmatches/ it works and displays fine.

If I show a category with the url format /event/category/somethingthatdoesnotmatch/ it messes up the display and the error “There were no results found.” overlaps into the widget area. It is like it is displaying it in the “Default Event Template” format.

Thoughts? My site is not live – To test try Food and Drink -> Restaurants (Not working) where other menus work when there is a match.

TIA

Glenn.

I have noticed that it works OK if the category exists even though there are no events in it but if the category doesn’t exist or is spelt wrong it messes up the layout.

I guess this is a very tiny bug that wouldn’t normally exist but you might want to put it on the todo list.

Hi glennpackham,

Thanks for purchasing the Events Calendar.

I took a look and see what you are describing.

It looks like a small compatibility issue with the way your theme is setup and how our plugin is setup that is causing the issue. It is not to say either one is doing something wrong, we just do things a little differently and that causes the issue.

So adding something like this seems to help part of the issue:

.error404.events-archive .entry-content {
max-width: 1040px;
padding: 0 376px 0 60px;
}

Since your sidebar is placed absolutely you will have to add some more css to get it to how you would like.

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Thanks

Hi – Thx – I think this was a small bug (maybe an ant.) Given I don’t plan on pointing to any categories that do not exist I can live with it.

Regards,

Glenn.

Ok Sounds good.
